Have I got the place for you. It's called "Der Kchen Laden" (German for the kitchen shop) in Fredericksburg, Texas and they have everything for the kitchen. A collection of cookbooks to rival the Library of Congress, potholders, coffee pots and espresso machines, a huge selection of kitchen knives, and glassware for every occasion, and than there's the odds and ends. Things I've never seen or even heard of. We've all fought with the big lump of ground beef in the skillet when trying to brown it. Bet you didn't know that there's a tool to help break it up. How 'bout a tiny brush to clean the inside of the stem of your percolator? A drip catcher for your tea pot, or a pinwheel cookie cutter.
For those who can they have all sorts of stuff, too. Everything from a 9" bubble popper and measurer, to replacement jar clamps and rings. You can learn a lot about the culinary arts just walking through this place.
While you could shop on line at their website:

I really recommend visiting in person. Even if you aren't a cook it's an experience. The building was once a hospital. It's a family-run business, and while there is always someone around to help they are quite happy to just let you browse at your own pace.
