Laura's Shabby Rambelings

adding to my pink kitchen!!

ok! so i havent cooked in like 3 mth! i was soo sick - that i couldnt bare the thought... now that im feeling better - i totaly miss cooking! and am so glad to get back to home cooked meals and baking cookies with my lil dude!!

so today i thought id post pix of my kitchen. (not sure why LOL!! but something other then scrapbooking heehee!) i wish my kitchen was bigger... but i love the goodies i have in it! ;)

for those that dont know- i love (ok, am obssessed) with pink!! i heart it!!! it just makes me happy!! and when they started coming out with pink kitchen goodies i nearly freeked with joy!! hubby is a trooper and doesnt rain on my pink parade! hes just afraid of going broke b/cuz of it LOL!! when i got engaged pink wasnt out yet, so my obsession was on my dishes (for reg etc) they are super colorful and super fun and are on display everywhere in my kitchen as well as being eaten off of every night lol! i also have dinner plates, salad plates, bowls and glasses in malamie too (which is a think plastic) for everyday use! they rawk!! i loved this set cuz as u know- i love themes, and this set did sooo many fun things in this purdy pattern!!

its kindda funny, my dishes are called "Sweet Shoppe" LOL!! yup!! really!! they are by Sue Zipkin-- and i love 'em!

she even makes matching xmas dishes too!! which i have of course! LOL! its way to fun!!

and yes, i even coved my kitchen chairs to match! HEEHEE!!

so i have slowly been adding my pink goodies in for the past 2 yrs or so! if i could id buy everyting at once... but alas, i have to do it gradually! :( here are more pix of my dishes with my pink yummies!

pink kitchenaid mixer, mug tree & cofee cups, napkin "box", recipe card box, fun purse cookie jar, pink toaster, pink pan, pink roaster, pink collendar, pink mixing bowls,dishes on my bakers rack,pink pots & pans, more dishes on top of my cabinets.

last night i went shopping! i sooo could have done wayyyy more damage then i did! and it was hard! but i stopped myself b/4 i maxed out my c/c! LOL!!

lookie what i bought last night on ebay!! :)

a pink "everything" pan --love the dbl handles!

measuring spoons and cups

a pink stock pot (i love making homemade soups!)

and a lasagna baking dish that i could get a pic of.

and here is what is on my wish list!
