And so begins the
postwoman's worst nightmare; Christmas catalog season. It is not necessary to
GO shopping because the shopping
COMES to one's home. Most of these catalogs are carried straight to the recycle pile. Some, however, get dog-eared and drool-marked.
My nominee for most fun and nostalgic catalog is The Vermont Country Store. Page after page I am transported back to my youth in the 50's. Item after item I comment to myself, "That would be the perfect gift for ____________ "(each of my adult family members). And, for me, the liquor-filled candy comes in handy. I recall wearing "
Woodhue", and "Jungle Gardenia" and "
Emeraude". Would they smell good to me now?
My nominee for most luscious jewelry and clothing is The Crow's Nest Trading Co. Yum. The outfits they put together with sassy jackets, skinny jeans, tall boots, and models dripping with turquoise & sterling jewelry make me sigh wistfully. However, I do have to consider what sort of looks I would get at my local grocery store should I venture out in such a bold ensemble.
But for pure over-the-top luxury nothing beats
Gorsuch. Oh my. I have swooned over these catalogs each fall for years. Right now they have an
Etro summer duster
on sale for just under $700. It is gorgeous and would cover you splendidly for many springs and summers.
These stag crystal wine glasses are $470 EACH! Can you even imagine a household that would set the table with these? Now it's time for me to drive to the nearest
TJMaxx to find my dream $300, tall, flat-heeled boots for $60. Dream-on!

The Crow's Nest what-have-you image was tasty. What a great look. I'm awfully found of that big coat and hat.
$300-400 glasses? That's crazytalk. Who would feel comfortable drinking out of those? Sheesh.
I hear ya about shopping at home. I have many a time spent an imaginary large sum of money leafing through each catalog. LOL!!
