I love to look at mail order catalogs, too-I get a few of them from places where I’ve ordered herb seeds and bottled herbs, and all kinds of household stuff. The herb and flower seed catalogs have such nice pictures of gardens that no regular person could ever maintain.
My first husband and I used to get the Needless Markup catalog-he signed up for it when he some little thing on a business trip to Dallas. Of course we couldn’t afford the stuff in it, but looking at it was fun...
Oh I still look at catalogs, but don’t order as I don’t need much. Occasionally order online or by coupons. Nice pictures though.
