| - My mother received a Williams-Sonoma Le Creuset stock pot in the color OCEAN which is exclusive to this company. There was a lovely display for this in the Biltmore store, so I purchased it for her in November for her birthday.
In December, my father called from Scottsdale to ask me about the color and the company that produced the Stock Pot. My mom apparently loves it a lot and wanted more pieces. He drove to Williams and Sonoma in Scottsdale Fashion Square and it was an unproductive trip. The store staff was not familiar with the color, and didn't have anything to offer him - they told him to purchase it online.
Upon hearing this, I called the Scottsdale and the Biltmore Stores. The Scottsdale store person had never heard of this color, but he indeed had some pieces in stock. He actually made me to go the website and give him model numbers of things I was hoping to find. It was really crazy.
I called Cindy in the Biltmore Store and she was quick to respond that she knew EXACTLY what the color was, she knew they had a floor display of the color and the pots and various other pieces (frying pans, tea kettle, etc.) She also agreed to put a few pieces aside on hold for my Dad so he could look at them quickly and easily without any confusion. My Dad drove down this week and found all the items he wanted to purchase super quickly and he said he did not deal with Cindy, but that the experience he had was very good. He also loved the Biltmore mall and found the parking easy and meandered over to Macy's to get her some Estee Lauder perfume as well.
Thank you Williams-Sonoma!!! My mother is going to have a great Christmas. And yes, this is a spoiler, but my parents are not likely to check yelp reviews...but if you run into my Mom, keep this a secret for a couple more days!
