Is there anything better than opening a box of Pressing Goodness!!! Why yes there is, opening 2 boxes of Pressing Goodness!!! This is now my Perfect Purple Pressing Pair and I am so excited to break them in ;) And ya know, since I press about 2 hours every evening, it shouldn't take long. Who knows, maybe I will even "Iron" my sweetheart's dress shirts that have been piled on the ironing board for a few weeks now ;)
In fact, I loved it so much, when I saw a purple version of the
TG1100 was released, I bought one and kept it in the box so that I would have a "back-up" iron. I figured it would be ready and waiting when the
Pink Oliso Pro started to give out. Well, the Pink one is still going strong, but I had a little motivation to pull out Purple Pro Plus today.
You see, a new little perfect pairing arrived in the mail yesterday!!! At my last retreat, I had a student using a brand new
Oliso Mini Project Iron. I gave it a try, and again, it was love at first Press ;) I never knew a mini travel iron could get so hot and steam so well. And I love that they added the "solemate" so you can keep it in the face down position, just like the big irons!!! (I can't even begin to explain how much not lifting irons anymore has saved my writs :) So ya, I just had to have one!!! This will now be my Travel Iron, and I can't wait to take it to my classes. It's just so great ;)
So now, the
Purple TG1100 will be my at home iron and I am sure it will get used daily. The
Pink Oliso Pro is going up the mountain to the cabin, and I am so glad that it gets a new home, and that I will have a great iron even when I am sewing up the mountain!! Oh, and in case you are wondering, Yes, my husband totally laughed at me when he found out I had a "back-up" iron just waiting to be opened for 2 years, and that I pulled it out not when I needed a Back-Up, but when I decided I wanted matching irons ;) I mean, who can pass up Purple!!!! (They also have Yellow, Pink, and Aqua if you prefer those colors, obviously, color is important to me :)
Here's to lots of Perfect Pressing with my Pair of Purple Pressers :)
