MacKenzie Childs home decor

I've seen these products over the years BUT what I'm wondering - Why are the prices so HIGH for enamelware?

I watched her presentations on Evine & I believe she explained the floral pieces are "decals" but check print is "handpainted". I have lots of enamelware pieces (not MC) I've had for ages some pieces from my grandmother they are "speckled" style. The pillows & home/furniture were nice also.

I saw a few pieces I liked but NO way would I pay these prices (of course, that's just me) even on value pays offered.

I can imagine how beautiful and colorful ones home would be with these beautiful pieces.

I live about an hour away from their headquarters. When you see all their stuff in one place, they’re gorgeous. I recently bought a huge pitcher that looks like something out of Alice in Wonderland. I’m not sure what Evine is selling but the products that I’ve seen have been VERY special and unique,

I have several beautiful pieces that my son got for me about 25 years ago. At this time MC was a young growing company of artisans. It khas continued to grow and gain recognition worldwide. It now also has several stores, including in NYC. It is sold at Neiman-Marcus, etc.

I would suggest you might enjoy looking at their website. I think you will find the answers to most of your questions there. If this is your style I think you would enjoy a trip to visit the area. Central NY is a beautiful area to visit with much to see and do.

They really are extremely expensive, but they're very nice. I have a few pieces that I've bought over the years and some pieces have been given to me as gifts. I have the three canisters in the parchment check that my sister gave to me piece by piece as gifts. She also gave me the tea kettle in the flower market. I have an outdoor thermometer in the parchment check that was another gift. I also have a parchment check pet bowl that I use for my dog's water. They don't make it anymore in that line, so I'm really glad I bought it when I did. I don't think I have any of the ceramic pieces, but they are very nice, too. Everyone compliments my canister set, and I really love it.

@Gram W

What town in central New York?

Gram W · ‎01-22-2013

@panda1234. Aorora, NY, the home of Wells College. The farm is south of town. All the information and pictures are on their website. You might enjoy looking at the pictures. It is really a beautiful location. You will want your camera for the beautiful scenery no matter what direction you come from.

@Vivian. I had not thought of it but you are right. The perfect settings for the tea party in Alice In Wonderland.

I have a friend who lives in Ithaca ( near Aurora ) and she love this line so much, that she always gives it as gifts. Not everyone appreciates it like she does, it is for a very specific taste, IMO.

I couldn’t see myself decorating an entire home with MC but for a whimsical touch here and there, I enjoy what I bought. I remember seeing a bathroom sink in their showroom. All I could think at the time was that my toddler granddaughter would have loved it.
