I love catalogues! The one's I recently have in my home and have been looking at are Avon; L.L. Bean (curiously enough, but they have nice winter garments, nice camping gadjets and totes); Dooney & Bourke handbags (of course! :) ; and many others. I also enjoy those that market and sell baskets.

Are you crazy for catalogues like me? What are the names of your favorite catalogue companies? I'd love to hear about them.:)

The folks that lived here before me, must have been cataloge nuts! I hate them--what a waste of earth's resources. Irritates me as much as being cold called. If I want or need something I'll find it via the net, then go pick it up.

The hundreds that seem to fill my mailbox, don't even make it to the house--they go straight to recycle.l

OSP, well do you have a favorite company that you order from online that has really kewl stuff?

I recently tasted this wonderful coffee in a small cafe that's to die for! I found them online and will order AND request a catalogue. I don't like circulars and cheap unsolicited catalogs that are placed on my doorstep, but I can't live without my catalogs!:)

I hate shopping so do most of mine mail order and now online. I do appreciate the saving of trees online provides still too many still send a catalog with orders. 90% of my wardrobe comes from J Jill or Soft Surroundings.

I used to do a lot of plant orders when I had a garden. I always loved Winterthur and White Flower Farm’s catalogs but seldom ordered as their eastern grown plants never got to me in time for planting before heat in NM. I loved Forest Farm and their catalog is environmentally friendly.
