Carole's topic this week is Ten Favorite Mail Order Catalogues.
Back in the day, when I was a bachelorette and then young married person, I ordered consistently from the following:
1. Chadwick's
2. Isabella Bird
3. Knights Ltd.
4. Lillian Vernon
5. The Speigel Catalogue
The UPS man actually asked me once why I would order all that stuff, just to send it back. (The nerve...) Didn't he know that if something didn't fit, a person shouldn't keep it? And that extra step of waiting when having to send something back and having a different size sent is the main reason I don't shop for clothes through the mail much anymore...
These days, although I don't really shop for clothes much through mail order, I like these catalogues to see what's in the stores and if it is worth it to go:
6. Chico's
7. Coldwater Creek
Finally, even though I have several wonderful LYSs fairly close, and the world wide web is endless, I love to receive these catalogues to hold in my hand, turn the pages, and add things to my wishlist:
8. Knitpicks
9. Patternworks
10. WEBS
That's it...that's the list!
MK out.

The nerve of that UPS guy. I hope he moved on to another job. We are two peas in a pod. I love chico's and chadwicks, but mostly to look at the catalogs. I, too, pour over the knitting catalogs just because. Love that knitting stuff!
ReplyDeleteI tried to limit my yarn shop to just one... lol! Happy TOT!
ReplyDeleteI agreee. THe UPS guy wouldn t have a job if it were'nt for returns and purchases. I will go to Chico.s.. I had forgotten about them. Came to you from Carols blog of course.
ReplyDeleteYour decrapification column is wonderful!!!
ReplyDeleteI threw out 9 magazines this weekend. WHat was I keeping the old old Knitting issues for? I had to save a few patterns and cut them out, but the rest are history. I can find them online anytime. They took up precious space.
@ katmcd - knitting stuff rules!
ReplyDelete@ Nichole - you can't stop with just one.
@ kathy b - don't let the stuff over take you!
