merci


































Over the weekend my husband burned his two favorite le creuset pots! We bought them over 10 years ago when we first lived together in San Francisco. They have served us well...so we were so sad to see them go!


Luckily, I stumbled on these fabulous red replacements at my local TJ Maxx....a total score at more than half off the original price!!! I LOVE a stylish bargain!!!!!

I'm suprising my husband with them tonight....a little "thank you" for all the fabulous cooking he does! ("Merci" notecard designed by my dear friend Sara Hicks Malone...her line is available here!)

  1. Oh no! I adore our Le Creuset pots that my husband and I have collected over the years... so glad that you found some bargain replacements! He must have been thrilled. Emma

  3. I am sure you have probably already discarded the old pots, but in case you haven't, you may want to try to clean them up with Bar Keeper's Friend. I have used on some pretty burned-up pans before with great success. It works really well on porcelain covered cast iron (like Le Creuset). Though I'm not sure you can top new Le Creuset cookware at a bargain price!
    Oh, and just thought I'd tell you I quite enjoy perusing your blog when i have the chance. I'm not sure how I came upon it, but have been reading for a little while now. :)
