Ree has done it again! This woman and her creative team just keep blowing it out of the ballpark. Oh, this new bedding line, introducing next week at Walmart makes me want to redo my guest bedroom NOW.!!!!! But I can’t, I just can’t, or can I???? I LOVE IT ALL!!!!
And the cow, ohhhhh the cow, it calls to me...
I’m a die hard Pioneer Woman fan. I love her show, her food, her family, her work ethic, her ranch, her photography, the list just goes on and on, and I LOVE her Walmart kitchy kitchen collections. I’ve been a fan since her first episode on Food Network and I believe I’ve seen every one of them. I also was a huge Joanna Gaines fan back in the day. I’ve never been a fan of the Chipster, he acts so goofy and now he looks even goofier with that scruffy beard and man bun, let’s face it the poor fella will never be the Marlboro Man. But I thought Joanna was so talented, I loved her farm, her darling little children and all the animals. I eagerly looked forward to every episode of her show, and then I kind of lost interest.
I thought Chip and Joanna became too commercialized, they were spread too thin, Ttheir houses became too contemporary for me and while Ree was selling her Walmart line at awesome, affordable prices, Joanna teamed up with Pier1 and her products were really pricey, she was selling her pillows for over $100 a pop. And her rugs, oh my, they were as high as $2300. No, that’s not a typo, they’re selling them for TWENTY THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS. Total turn off for me, total.
But now Chip and Joanna are teaming up with Target with a new line, Hearth and Hand and guess what??? It’s inexpensive!!! No surprise here, The Pioneer Woman’s Walmart line sells like hotcakes and I bet Pier1 still has a boatload of those $100+ pillows left in their warehouses. And I’m sure those rugs didn’t fly off the shelves at $2300 either.
I hope she does well, she’s a sweet woman and I’ll be checking the Target site to see what she has to offer, but I think I’m more of a kitchy retro kinda girl. Oh, let’s face it, I just think The Pioneer Woman is da bomb, always have, always will. I hope she’s around for many more years and one of these days I’m gonna be on a road trip to Pawhuska. Yeah, I know it’s in the middle of nowhere, but I want to go. I have no desire to go to Waco and see the silos, but oh I want to be Pawhuska bound sometime within the next year.
Just my thoughts this afternoon, it will be interesting to see how competitive this gets. Walmart vs. Target, Ree vs. Joanna, I know who my bets are on...

I’m a big fan of the tablescape, but since we’ve moved and have more company I’ve decided to only set the table with things I actually use. Well, kinda. And it’s spring and Pioneer Woman has her new spring collection at Walmart, so I was all over it like mayo on white bread.
The fun thing about her products is that they’re so affordable. This cute little butter dish was $5.46, the round rug placemats were $3.00 each, the underneath yellow bandana placemats $1.50 each, napkins were $6 for a set of 4, the set of 4 plates were under $20 and they have flowers and yellow polka dots on them, I’m a huge fan of yellow polka dots! The 4 glasses were $15.86, this great old fashioned pitcher was $12.72, the fluted pie plate was $12. I got the cow last year for $5 and change. I also have a napkin holder and coasters, you’re getting the picture, you can have a whole lot of fun for not a whole lot of money. And you’re thinking, but.. it adds up. Yeah, it does but you could easily spend this much money on an Easter outfit or a spring purse.
Now I’m eyeing up this cookie jar, okay I admit, it’s in my shopping cart, okay, okay, so I bought it just now. It was $15 - I’m the queen of justification, just ask my friends, I can justify anything and I really wanted this cookie jar to complete my collection. I love the old fashioned look of it, the glasses are sturdy and the pitcher is the perfect size. Do I need this stuff? Of course not, but I had a heck of a good time buying all of this and it makes me happy. I walk into the kitchen and I smile.
And did I mention her knife set? We’re in overload here, I’m saving that little gem for another post.
