About 5 or 6 years ago, while we were at this store, I told my son that when he becomes rich, I’d like him to give me $5,000 so I could splurge in this store. He said yes.

I spend an average of two hours whenever I go inside the Williams-Sonoma store in Columbus Circle. Libang na libang ako. Tingin lang ng tingin.
Their store’s interior looks like a real house. Para bang gusto kong dito na tumira.

Many many years ago, I developed a fascination over kitchen copper wares. It started when my sister in law, Dimple, gave me a gift made of copper. I think it was a small tray shaped like a chicken or something. I liked it so much that I told myself, “hmm, I am going to start a collection. They would definitely look good in our kitchen”.

I never got past one single item. I don’t remember buying a pot or a pan. Why? As soon as I saw the tag prices, my desire to start a copper wares collection instantly vanished. I still do like them, but not at those prices.

This silver plated spoon from England is missing its fork. According to the store manager, they lose some small items everyday due to shoplifters.

I have many things from Williams-Sonoma. I only get to buy the little stuff. Those not heavy on the pocket.

First time I’ve seen them with a table full of sale items. I checked the linens, none for me.

For round table. I bought a few round table linens from Turkey. Ang mumura.
We only set up round tables when we have parties.

I like buying Made in USA items. The world is already deluged with made in China products. Let’s also patronize America’s manufacturing industry.

I cannot afford to collect copper pots and pans so I will just start an asin collection. I’ll start with this Fleur de Sel from France.
