    Lightbulb Collecting catalogs for winter armchair shopping?

    There was a time when just a few stores on Main Street had to serve to amuse women on their "going to town" days. To help decorate and supply their home ( along with serving as a form of entertainment over a hot cup of tea ) they collected catalogs to shop from.

    My own current stockpile is growing. Has anyone else been collecting catalogs ( and now websites ) for the long Autumn and Winter monthes ahead?

    Here are a few of the sites for some catalogs I've collected so far - ( please add your own if you have any favorites ):

    The Country House - www.thecountryhouse.com

    Victorian Trading Company - www.victoriantradingco.com

    The Vermont Country Store - www.vermontcountrystore.com

    I don't collect them, but I've drooled over them on the internet. Thanks for those links, I'm going to check them out later tonight.

    I receive my fair share of catalogs. I love to look through them. I tear out pages and toss the catalogs after about a month. I'm not much of a spender, but I do enjoy looking through them.
