My trips to Williams-Sonoma will never cease. I heart this place and all of the kitchen gadgets it provides me with to oogle at. I actually do purchase things here, but typically I browse, come back, browse again, and then make a hard decision. Mostly because this stuff ain't cheap.
For me W&S is a place to let my inner chef come out and just daydream about the day I WILL OWN THAT EXPENSIVE SPATULA SET.... ahem. As I was saying...
I do like that W&S has a wide range of baking accessories and offers Star Wars cookie cutters, pancake molds, etc. Also they have a decent selection of pots and pans.
The staff here is usually nice. I have run into the same older women a few times and they are always quick to have a conversation with me. Last time I was here there was kind of an odd guy running the cash register. He wasn't mean, just a little off. I felt awkward just taking my bag and walking away without any conversation or "goodbye".
Anyway, someday I will go to W&S and have my way... until then, daydreams it is.
