Charlene Wittstock's Wedding Veil Style

Not sure whether to wear a veil with a contemporary style wedding dress? Charlene Wittstock's wedding veil is an example of how to wear a veil with an elegant but unfussy wedding dress.

Her hair was styled a low chignon with the veil attached just above the chignon. For the ceremony the veil is drawn over and frames the face. Later when the veil is lifted back it drapes down the back from just above the chignon.Charlene Wittstock's Wedding Veil and Chignon

Buying expensive french copper cookware at a discount.

French Copper CookwareReal french copper cookware, which I love (see my previous post about my dream set of French copper cookware), can be very expensive, so if you see it at a generous discount its time to buy, sometimes the discount alone can be more than the price of a ticket to Paris!
The First place I look, and I usually go back and end up buying there as well, is the Amazon Cookware Section because their discounts can be huge and the free shipping is a great plus. In the Amazon Copper Cookware section, this section includes copper bottom only pans, so on the left menu chose material "copper" to see only the copper clad sucepans, you can then sort by best selling, to see what people are buying and read the reviews. Their top seller there today is the Mauviel model M-6501-17 Mauviel Cuprinox Extra-Thick 2.5 mm 1.9-Quart Saucepan with Lid, there is even a used price, but my preference is to buy new.

That said there is an online store that is worth checking out: MetroKitchen sells Mauviel copper cookware, which is one of my favorite brands of French Cookware and they have a sale on right now, always good news!
Here is the link to the same Mauviel Cuprinox sauce pan model M-6501-17 at MetroKitchen web site:

Mauviel Cuprinox 2.5mm 1.9 qt. Sauce Pan w/C.I Handle w/Lid
, they have a sale on and they are offering free shipping at present.

The Perfect Pot Rack

Old Dutch Copper Pot Rack

A good set of cookware deserves to be on display in the eclectic kitchen and this Old Dutch 36-by-18-Inch Oval Pot Rack, in Copper is not only elegant and sophisticated it happens to be the most highly rated pot rack on Amazon at the time of writing. No wonder then that there are only couple of the copper clad version in stock as I write this but there is a note that more will be in stock soon.
This pot rack also comes in a steel or black version as well. There are many other Pot Racks listed on Amazon but this particular one caught my eye immediately as a way to display my French copper cookware.
I have been reading through the reviews of it on Amazon and they say this set is great value at the current reduced price and the quality is very good too.
It attaches to the ceiling, such as over a kitchen island, and it is quite heavy so it needs to be attached where the ceiling beams are, there is a set distance between the supports, which are spaced 16 inches apart, so your ceiling beams which need to be also 16 inches apart if you are mounting it crossways as opposed to along the length of a beam. This is a vital measurement you need to be aware of before purchasing.
