Pretty and Useful...Pretty Useful!

This post belongs in the "Things That Make Me Smile" category.

These are my new measuring cups - bought at Pier I Imports with my gift card thta my sis-in-law gave me for CHristmas. I bought some other items with it too...she was very generous to me - but this is by far my favorite thing in the kitchen right now.  Aren't they pretty? The blue reminds of the pretty and they do work immensely well. Plus, I get the added benefit of pretending to be Ms. Paula when I am at woAdratic Sea...and they are delicate and all china like - so I feel extra special using something so pretty for something so ordinary as measuring sugar or flour or milk!

I saw a Paula Deen show - and she had some. They looked so pretty and seemed so efficient when she was using them that I when I saw them in Pier I recently, I just knew I had to have them. And guess what - they are pretty and I can't help pretending I am Ms. Paula whenever I work in the kitchen these days. Of course this is resulting in me throwing a stick or two of butter in whatever it is I am making, but hey - butter is what makes everything taste so good - so why not?!

Just thought I would share...now, what is your most recent favorite purchase? Share in the comment section - it is open for business!

Happily!
