Then my tiny heart skipped four beats and I almost fainted because Mr. Precious ordered me my dream pot...

Oh, honey! This is so beautiful! My new RED love - a 7 1/4 qt. Le Creuset dutch oven.

Move over Martha...enter Le Creuset dream pot! :)
Just let your most gorgeous peepers gaze at her in all her RED glory! Is she not just the most beautiful pot you've ever seen!! Isn't Mr. Precious the most darling little thing? I love that man!
I must tell you, I have not even washed my dream pot yet! I'm just looking at her and soaking up her beauty! I guess I'll break down tomorrow and bath her and cook some beans in her for her initiation! :)
Well...
I just had to make a new little chicken pot holder to sit on top of my RED dream pot! What do you think? Is she cute or what? She is special because she has blue eyes!
Look at that cover girl face! :)
RED dream pot and black chickie - they were meant for each other. My kitchen is totally RED-y.
Uh oh..
Seems I have a little problem. These girls are fighting it out to see who gets to nest on my RED dream pot! I know they will work it out!

Be a bunch of sweeties,
Shelia ;)

My daughter's MIL has only Le Creuset cookware and swears by it. We were out shopping one day and she showed me some of the pieces and I could barely lift them!
ReplyDeleteI guess slinging them around tones muscle and keeps one in shape.
The red looks great in your kitchen and I just adore the chickies you made. Your husband's a really nice guy.
Judith

ReplyDeleteYou must let me know if LeCreuset cook better than Martha (because that is what I have.) Maybe it is time for a trade it. I love all your red pots -- it makes the task cheerier, doesn't it?

ReplyDeleteShelia I just love your new cookware! I have it in blue!! Sadly though even washing it by hand ALWAYS my non stick is coming off my frying pan!:( I use it ALL the time but looks like I will have to get a new one.
ReplyDeleteWell you are one spoiled girl. I would love one of those Dutch Ovens. Do you have to do anything to it before you use it the first time? Your red pots and pans are fantastic....and a BLACK rooster pot holder....oh come one now...I have to order one of those!!!!

Fabulous kitchen and love your RED pots!!! Your chicken pot sitters are adorable!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my friend Shelia, you got some generous hubby, alright! I love all the red pots for the kitchen, specially the French red enamel, Le Creuset, my own hubby has a fixation on the French cast enamel pots, so 16th. we're going to visit my daughter at the capital for her b'day and he promised to get one since they don't sell them here; good idea for a post, too! I also love your kitchen Aid's coffee maker, so elegant! Have a nice Memorial Day.
ReplyDeleteLove, FABBY
O, my...just look at all that redness in your lovely kitchen.

You Lucky Girl!! I have one Paula Dean pot and I love it. Your new bean pot makes me swoon, one of these days maybe I will have a special Le Cruset dutch oven also. The little hens are adorable. Have a great week my friend. hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteLove the dutch oven with the little chicks guarding it! Have fun with the new cookware, Laura
ReplyDeleteOH MY! I guess you gave your honey some extra HUGS for all of that sweetness! I have a red kitchen here in the condo and it's so much fun to find special things that match! Love your chickens! Wish I was smart enough to make those! What a happy kitchen you have...are the beans soaking? ♥
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful husband! He is truly a special guy for a special lady. I love your new red treasures!

Shelia,
ReplyDeleteWhat a thoughtful hubby! Red is wonderful in your lovely kitchen!
Very, very exciting!
What a sweet husband!
ReplyDeleteI inheirited my mother-in-law's creuset Dutch oven, but it's orange. An unfortunate colour, for sure, but a beautiful pot even after more than forty years of use. I wish it was anything other than orange though!
Shelia, you lucky girl, a dream kitchen and a dream man! Both keepers. Love all your new red pots, and don't think I didn't spy your lovely rooster spice cabinet.(You know I love it!)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
Hugs,
Patti
I see you are "READY" to make some AMAZING French beans in your new Creuset pot Miss Shelia. Mr. Precious is precious indeed.
ReplyDeleteRandy LOVES his Creuset pots. It's an addiction really. He only gets them in MY COLOURS too ; )
Your kitchen is beautiful as always.
xoxoxoxoxo
Hi Shelia *hugs*
ReplyDeleteI love your new red pot and red pots and pans. Red is my favourite kitchen colour (and other rooms too) I must say. We have the colour at the cottage and at home. You have the perfect spot for them and wasn't that nice of Mr. Precious to use up those points on the kitchen.
Sweet chickens too..
have a good rest of the evening.
Judi
Miss sweet Shelia!
ReplyDeleteI've missed your happy and wonderful blog and songs! Your kitchen is just delightful, I love the colors! Oh and your girls are darling! I have really missed reading your blog and glad I'm back! Been a busy summer!

ReplyDeleteI love reds in your kitchen. Love the hens too.Got to make one .Thanks for sharing.Would love the pattern for that hen.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit I am a bit envious. I have wanted that pot for a while now. Maybe Santa will bring it. I have Rachel Rays cookware in orange and I do love that too. Looking good Sheila!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice thing for Mr Precious to do!! And I love the REDy kitchen too as well as your RED pots and pans. Love love love. The dishtowels in between the pans is a great idea. Never thought of that!
ReplyDelete~Linnea
Oh, how I LOVE red, and you ARE one lucky girl!!! What a fantastic pot!! (and pots!) I would LOVE the chicken pot holder instructions. Is that available somewhere!? I LOVE to crochet and LOVE chickens. I am drooling over your kitchen!!! :)
ReplyDeleteHe thought of that ALL by himself?! What a sweety.

Love, Love Loved those chicken pot holders. How do you like cooking with your new PD cookware? I've been looking at those and think they are pretty, but don't know anything about using her brand. Chris
ReplyDeleteShelia...I love my Paula Deen pots too...I have the red and the charcoal.They cook divine,no matter what we put in 'em,turns out delish.
ReplyDelete~Jo
We are cut from the same cloth my dear, roosters and red pots! I have the Kitchen Aid pans and I bought my Mr. Silly one of the Le Cruset dutch ovens. It doesn't get to set out and look pretty though, poor thing only sees the light of day when she's fixin' up a pot of Coq au Vin...yum!
ReplyDeleteWe were just at Sur La Table yesterday and I showed Mr. Silly the sparkly red Kitchen Aid mixer I've been lusting after. He remarked that I wouldn't leave it out if I had it but I told him I sure as heck would, it's a work of art!
I just LOVE your little rooster pot holders, you are the most talented little thing.
Hugs, Bridge
Good morning Shelia, Oh, your new pots are stunning. My new grand daughter-in-law wanted the frying pan for her shower and I bought it for her. she would be drooling if she saw your awesome pans. Lucky, Lucky you. Your kitchen loves red and so do I.
ReplyDeleteI want to know how your beautiful pot makes beans. Love, your lovely crocheted hens. You rock.
Love, Jeanne
Your kitchen is a beauty and so is the red LC pot. You know I love red too. The chickens are so cute you really should sell them. Do you make a cat?
ReplyDelete~ ~Ahrisha~ ~

ReplyDeleteHugs, Cindy
I love, love, love your red pots and pans. And I love cooking in new pans, too, don't you? And your kitchen is just lovely - beautiful counters!
ReplyDeleteShelia, if anybody deserves a wonderful husband, it's you, and it sure sounds like you got the pick of the crop. Do you think he's looking for some great meals to come out of those new pots? They all look so nice and neat in your drawer. I bet you just have fun opening the drawer to see them. laurie
ReplyDeleteSheila, I know you're going to be cookin' up a storm with that new red cookware. Love your Le Creuset pot. You lucky thing.Thanks for visiting and have a great Wednesday.

ReplyDeleteGIRL! You will wonder how you ever lived without that pot! While very heavy - it is my favorite thing in my kitchen. I use it for EVERYTHING! I have two now, asked for a smaller one for Christmas last year and {{sigh}} they are PERFECT!
ReplyDeleteI love all your new things. You might try bubble wrap in between your pots and pans, that's what I use in the motorhome... :)
HAGD! Hugs. Karen
Your kitchen is so lovely and your new cookware is gorgeous! Bet you'll enjoy cooking even more with them :)
