Shopping Warnings for Sur La Table Doll-Sized Christmas Ornaments

One of the places I like to poke around in for doll-sized Christmas ornaments is Sur La Table.

They have a lot of kitchen and food-themed ornaments.

Last year we ordered a lot of copper ornaments from them for the dolls.

WARNING:

We will WARN you -- even though these say material: copper -- when they arrived the labels said they also contained lead and to wash our hands after handling them.

Um, thanks Sur La Table.

We had purchased extra to re-sell, but once we saw the lead thing, we decided not to list these in Maple's DW Emporium (on Shopify when we were open).

Here is the Pinterest Board for the items we once-upon-a-time were selling: https://www.pinterest.com/thedollwardrobe/maples-dw-emporium-products/

So these copper ornaments below do contain LEAD, most likely.

And you shouldn't give them to little kids.

But if you are an adult who can wash their hands after touching these, and you won't lick them...we thought most of these were very good scale for our doll kitchen.

Just don't lick these.


Tea kettle


Stock pot

Have I mentioned, don't lick these?


Saute pan


Mini colander

Don't lick these.


Round-bottom sauce pan -- doesn't sit up very well on it's own, fyi.


Wok-type thingy pan

^^^ Don't lick any of those ornaments.

So another line of ornaments that Sur La Table offers is these kitchen utensils...

BUT DON'T BUY THEM FOR YOUR DOLLS!!!


Rolling pin


Egg/potato/dough masher


Whisk

Those ^^^ three things.

DON'T BUY THEM FOR YOUR DOLLS.

When we bought them, the scale was way way WAY too big for the dolls.

Have I mentioned, DON'T BUY THEM FOR YOUR DOLLS.

I mean, if you just want them for other purposes, go ahead and buy them, haha.

But they are too big for the American Girl dolls.

Sur La Table also has these...


Bacon


Waffle-maker


Wedge of cheese


Cheese grater

But we haven't bought any of these ^^^, so I am not sure of the scale.

Just wanted to point out the other amoosing items they have that might work.

Head on out to a Sur La Table near you to see them in person.

Also, one of the most useful items from them is this white colander ornament...


And we think it works pretty well for the dolls.



Our pics of it ^^^.

So the next time you jog past the kitchen store at the mall, 
pause, stop in and look around at their ornament selection.

I recommend waiting until right at Christmas or after Christmas to shop online for ornaments on sale. Unless there is something you see right now that you absolutely have to have.

There is no guarantee that the ornaments will still be around after the holiday -- but they often are, and at deep discounts.

So patience has its benefits, sometimes. ;-)

Thanks for visiting us today!!!
