my very own
September 15, 2010
As of yesterday afternoon, I am the very proud owner of my very own KitchenAid stand mixer! I found it on craigslist in excellent condition so I didn't have to pay the normal $300-$400 that these babies normally cost. In asking how old it was, I was happy to learn that it was originally purchased in the 80's. Now, I know that doesn't sound great, but in actuality, a lot of KitchenAid customers have been saying that the motors in older models are so much more durable than current models, so when I learned it was from the 80's I was ecstatic. It came with the standard 3 attachments and it's this beautiful pale yellow color that I adore. Now I suppose my only problem is deciding what to bake first!

Oh I want one!
ReplyDeletei'm in love with this color! we got a new one for our wedding, but i am head over heels for these old babies. they last forever!
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous! Congrats on a great find! Are you back in school now?
ReplyDeleteFortunately not yet, but I start moving in tomorrow and classes begin Monday. I have a feeling I might be spending more time baking than studying this quarter...
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky. I'm incredibly jealous. I've been searching for an 80's or early 90's model for my mom for what feels like forever. But you've given me faith to keep searching!
