Why do I think MacKenzie-Childs stuff is so cute?

A lot of their stuff is cute but it's way out of my price range.

It's an unusual looking line, but it is expensive IMO for what it is. I have two tea pots and the covered cake carrier, but that's it for me.

What pattern?

Would be so afraid they are like potato chips, can't have just one.

Simple answer - because it is cute!

@hopi The one tea pot is the black check and the other is white floral market. The cake carrier has the black check bottom and the cover is black floral. I looked at the cake carrier for a year before I pulled the trigger on that one. I'm not sorry I bought it, but I have yet to use it, it sits out on the top of my tea cart, so at least it's being displayed.

I don't find it "cute" at all. Just doesn't appeal to me.

I like the checked pattern. It just wouldn’t go with my kitchen.

Beautiful! It is a must to display.

The checked patterns are not my style but I do like some of the floral patterns. For me, aside from the prices, the problem is that it has to be hand washed. I'd buy a tea kettle but I'd raely use it and it wouldn't be on display - I keep a 2qt Le Creuset saucepan on the stove (because I use it so often) and there's no room for anything else.

It took me a few years before I decided to buy anything from this line....LOL. I bought the 3 qt black flower market tea kettle. It is very pretty. We are in the process of packing up our home for sale.......so......it will be a little while before I will be using this item. .

I don't have any but if I did, it would make me smile every time I looked at it.

It is adorably cute, but I'm not willing to pay that much for it.

I purchased a tea pot, canister and cups in a special edition "Aurora" but they no longer have that pattern. Just as well:

@hopi I agree and think their items are simply adorable. The black and white checked things are my favorites.

I love it. I enjoy just looking at. My kitchen/dining area are red/white/black so I could work some of the black & white check pieces in for a fabulous look. But it's just to expensive for me. It's odd that they haven't even marked down the Christmas items.

I get their catalog - I guess because I do some shopping at ShopHQ - and I have noticed holiday items marked down right after the holiday. They almost sucked me in with the penguin cookie jar marked down 50%.

some of it is very cute and some is pretty . i would not ever buy a thing due to the cost.

To me that stuff looks like it came right off the set of the Alice in Wonderland movie.
