There I was, minding my own business, working busily on my Hollywood Yesterday website… when I come across this unspeakably gorgeous Movie Theatre Cookie Jar, Gone with the Wind, Breakfast At Tiffanys

And I see another one on the horizon…

What’s not to love about the Calphalon 4-pc. Nonstick Contemporary Nonstick Skillet Set with Lids
? These are from Cooking.com – one of my favorite places in all of the online world.
From the website:
Perfect flips, and no flops! Calphalon’s Contemporary Nonstick omelette pans feature a thick, flat, wide bottom for quick, even heating and cooking with little to no oils. The gently sloping sides and nonstick surface allow the omelet to glide freely, flip in one quick motion and slide easily from the pan to your plate. Plus, cleanup is easy. The rolled stainless steel Cool Touch handle conducts heat more slowly than cast iron handles, so it stays cool on the stove top. It’s sure to bring out your sunny side. Features: Hard-anodized exterior and nonstick interior. Versatile vessel shapes that accommodate several cooking techniques. Long handles that stay cool on the stovetop for hours of comfortable cooking. Sparkling glass-and-stainless covers give you a clear view of simmering soups and sauces, too.
Set includes: 10-in. Nonstick Skillet and Lid 12-in. Nonstick Skillet and Lid
Ladies and gents, to break it down: These are must haves!

, above, is from the remarkable Cooking.com.
If you love Thanksgiving as much as I do, you’ll want to celebrate every single moment of the special day – as well as the special time with your loved ones. These gorgeous dishes most definitely help to get the celebration started!
From the Website:
A celebration of the abundance that is autumn, Plymouth features embossed pumpkins, acorns and ears of corn on a warm, creamy white surface. Sculpted acorn finials finish the lids of hollowware pieces. Platters and plates feature scalloped rims accented with gently flowing, weathered line.

Several Pfaltzgraff patterns are among the best-loved dinnerware designs in America.

I recently got the Pourfect Bowl Set in the mail and like any crazed baker, I had to try them out immediately. Since they came (two days ago), I’ve used them six different times!
Our most recent creation was Blueberry Streusel Muffins, which we made this morning. The design of the Pourfect bowls made folding in blueberries a lot easier than other bowls. The fact that they have handles allows you to hold on to the bowl with one hand while you use the other to manipulate your food around.
These bowls blow me away. Check out the features that I love so much:
- They’re gorgeous. They have a sleek design that makes me NOT want to hide them in the cabinets. They’re left out on a baker’s rack – you know the rule: Never hide pretty.
- The Pourfect bowls feature convenient handles for gripping and holding onto.
- There is a rubber ring on the bottom of these bowls to keep them from sliding. Brilliant!
- The dripless spout lets you pour the food exactly where you want it – perfect for pancakes, waffles, cupcakes, muffins, scrambled eggs, omelets, and so on.
- Egg cracking edge! There’s literally a spot for you to neatly and effectively crack your eggs.
- The wide slope and design of the bowl keeps foods from sloshing out onto the counter or onto the cook! The bowls are deep and designed brilliantly – the food stays where it needs to until you need it elsewhere.
- There is actually a measuring guide inside these bowls. Yes, as a matter of fact, they did think of everything.
- A clever pivot on the front of the Pourfect Bowl helps to secure it against another bowl, dish, or pan as you pour your food.
The Pourfect Bowls were obviously designed by someone who not only cooks a great deal – but shares our passion for the art. Before you even think about Holiday baking, Thanksgiving recipes or Christmas cookies – head over to Pourfect Bowl.com and order your own Pourfect Bowl set. I promise you, they’ll…. sorry…. bowl you over.
Christmas Gift Idea! These bowls would get my vote for being one of the most briliant gift ideas for the cooks on your Christmas list. They’re highly original, gorgeous, and the lucky recipient would use them all year long – thinking fondly of you each time.

Nobody loves Starbucks like I love Starbucks – I’m totally comfortable with that claim. Not only do I frequent each of the three Starbucks in Owensboro (I like to spread the love), my kitchen echoes my sentiments. You can always find several bags of Starbucks coffee beans on the counter, Starbucks mugs in the cabinets, tumblers, and (of course) the full or half full coffee, tea, or latte that I’ve recently snagged.
I just found these gorgeous mugs online, at the Starbucks website – yes, I even stalk them online. It occurs to me that they’d make a great collection, so.. um, yeah… I’m going with that idea. Click through to see the rest of the gorgeous mugs they have. Starbucks is the reason, you know, that drinking coffee is so vogue, classy, and even sexy.

I’ve never met a tea cup or coffee mug I didn’t like. I guess that’s why I became a collector of each. Love them!
The Polka Dot Teacups
and saucers above are about as pretty as anything I’ve ever seen.
These adorable little beauties are decorated with bright red polka dots and an inlaid gold rim. The set is delivered in a matching keepsake hatbox. Each cup measures 2.5” H x 4.5” W and has my name written all over it.

Hartstone Pottery isn’t just about gorgoues seasonal dishes and collectibles. No, no, no – they also have an unbelievable collection of College items – such as the little Penn State pig you see in the banner to the left.
Click the following link (or the Penn State pig!) to see if they have your favorite school: Show your school spirit with Hartstone’s College Pottery!
.
Unfortunately, they they don’t have my personal favorites: the University of Kentucky or the University of Louisville, but there’s a Virginia Tech mug that I’m kind of feeling. That and the Penn State Piggy Bank that would be impossible not to love!
These would make perfect Christmas gifts – or “anytime” gifts for your favorite college student.
