The Dolly Parton line at Williams Sonoma is about as basic as kitchenware can get. Among the offerings are a cookie cutter set, a silicone spatula imprinted with Parton's signature white guitar, and potholders in a red and green patchwork pattern. But the selection left a correspondent from Eater less than impressed.
For a line themed to one of music's most colorful personalities, the Williams Sonoma products are very un-Dolly. If not for the butterfly and guitar cookie cutters, you wouldn't think they were connected to her at all, Eater pointed out. "Gotta say, opening that 'The Williams Sonoma x Dolly Parton Collection' e-mail was pretty disappointing," one fan tweeted. Another agreed, "Doesn't really scream Dolly, ya know?"
The other downside to the Dolly line is the hefty price tag. A tree skirt goes for $99.95, the spatula for $19.95. Even the sugar cookie mix — which is just a blend of flour, sugar, vanilla, baking powder, and sea salt — costs $16.95. Eater points out that the cookie recipe can be found in one of Parton's cookbooks, so you can make her signature treats for a lot less with ingredients from the supermarket.
