Who's Your Mama?: So many men so little time! Yes I am a whore

A shopping whore & apparently have appeased my Pink obsession (until I find my Pink Loewy) & become a Perriwinkle whore!  I just bought these today... for $30!!! My Rat Pack came in 2 days early & I got to cook with them last night... SO HAPPY! Now... look, I know I said earlier I need only 2 more pieces, Brando & Princess Grace & then "I'm DONE"... right!

Weeeeeeellllllllllllll these were such a FANTASTIC deal I couldn't pass up. So gone is my original wish of a vintage chicken fryer or skillet/saucepan combo & hello lovers to 2 of my favorite men of all time... Marlon Brando & James Dean. 

These are made by Cousances which is a French Enamelware Company that Le Creuset acquired some years back & most LC pieces are made in the Cousances factory anyway.  I ♥reading on messageboards the battles between people on what's better LC or Cousances?

So far Cousances has a slight lead so I said screw it I need one to try for myself & I scored 2. My favorite part is they are Perriwinkle & match my Rat Pack perfectly so instead of getting the one skillet/saucepan combo... I get 2 combos! 

My Rat Pack skillets can double as lids to my Debonaire Duo *swoon* my Vegas boys work so hard & I can't WAIT to put Brando & James to work as well, oh the double boiling madness to be had... hahahaha. I might never leave the house again! Why does great deals & loading my house with more crap I can't afford nor have the room for make me so happy? ♥


I bid $80 on this & didn't win! Thank 6lb 10oz Baby Jesus! I got 5 whole pieces for $90 instead!♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Who's Your Mama?: The Rat Pack

Just bought these last night & I'm SO stoked ♥! In 4-5 business days, to be exact, I will be welcoming to my collection my new "Rat Pack" of skillets... Frankie, Dean & Sammy. I got all three for 60 SMACKEROOS!!! Dear God I'm really good at this. Looks like my boy's line of Le Creuset is quickly catching up with my Dames.

I'm still looking for my elusive 4.5 Pink Loewy I will name Princess Grace & either a fryer or double skillet/sauce pan combo in blue that I am naming Brando & that's IT!!! I'm done... unless those Supremes come back.. .damn.

My neighbor Leyna moved & gave me her display rack, so as soon as my boys get here I will take another photo of my whole star studded cast including my blue Staub Tagine Valentino (inspired by his role in The Sheik *swoon*) I have yet to show them all off on their new display. ♥
