Mix It Up!

I want one of these so badly my teeth hurt. I enter every time the Pioneer Woman gives one of these away.    Needless to say, I have not won.  I covet this fancy painted mixer.  OK, to covet is wrong, but I want it really, really bad - said in a high whiny voice for emphasis.  After I told Hal last night that once again, I did not win, he told me to just go out and buy one!  Apparently he is not aware you can not buy a fancy painted one like this, at least not with the amount that we are willing to spend.  But if he were a rich man, ---ya-da-da-da -da-da-dah! (Fiddler on the Roof reference not to be mistaken for Yabadabadoo which of course is a Fred Flintstone reference). 
I would not mind this one with it's beautiful cherry design.

Or this one with it's flower motif.  Or many others that this talented artist can create.
If you want to see more of these beautiful mixers go to www.un-amore.com.
I did take my husbands suggestion and went out and bought one of these mixers today.  Mine is red with no fancy painting, but I'm thrilled to to have it and my teeth no longer ache.  When I mentioned to Sara how much I love the fancy painted ones, she offered to fix me up.  She said to bring mine over because she could put scratch and sniff stickers on it and paint some designs with nail polish. I declined.

Ha ha, well to be honest I can't quite see the appeal myself, but you'd be worried if I did right? But what I would say is that surely if you bought one with the flowers all over it you'd have to tie it in with the rest of the colour scheme in your kitchen? Now that could make it a VERY expensive mixer!

I've been trying to win one myself, with no success~!
I would be satisfied with one like you got though!

I know, I know. I keep entering all of PW's contests too, and not just for the mixer, though I dearly love it. I'll bet your new one is pretty. Sara's idea? No, not gonna work!
Blessings!

My offer stands and I'll throw in puffy paint monograms.

Connie said...

I didn't even though the painted ones were available. I'll bet your new mixer is beautiful but I think you should reconsider the scratch and sniff stickers. lol

Trish said...

Enjoy your mixer...tell Sara no puffy paints, red is pretty by itself! I think that I would tire, of those flowers after a while.
Love you sissy

I don't know what I would do without my mixer. My children bought me my first on about 15 years ago. I would never be without one ever ever again! but be careful not to mix for 45 minutes! I ALMOST burned up my motor...yes that can be done, when I kept thinking that my divinity WOULD set up and it never did! I love the designs but...mine is in my pantry on the floor, not much room on my counters...so no one would appreciate its rare beauty! Merry Christmas my friend! Happy baking!

Ah...I have one of those mixers. LOVE IT! Although mine isn't painted all fancy like. Although it could be. I could paint it myself you know! In fact, I could paint yours for you! Bring it down! As for Sara and her puffy paint monograms...she just cracks me up!

By the way...mine is Charcoal Grey. Brillo Man purchased it for me on our first or second Christmas. It matched our kitchen in the house we live in then. Red has so much more pizzazz! Good for you!
