I think we get every mail order catalog that is printed!  Some go straight to the recycle bin without ever being opened, but there are some that are fun to skim through, even when I have no intention of buying anything.   Thumbing through catalogs looking at stuff I don’t need feels far less tedious than perusing the shelves and racks at a thrift store!  Just as with thrift store shopping, though, searching mail order catalogs often yields that same kind of unexpected treasure.

Do you have something that you love that came from a mail order catalog?  If so, share it with us.  Or maybe, you too have a mailbox full of catalogs that are destined for the recycle bin.
