The month we missed
The bon fire commences any minute now. Here's what I'm tossin to the fiery gods of greed:
Lands End - Their spring catalogs all had a new, smaller shape that I really like. Plus their colors are so vibrant and fun. Hard to resist.
L'Occitane - Cherry blossom body lotions and a new line of mineral sunscreens containing Buriti, a natural anti-oxidant oil that protects against free radicals.
Vera Bradley - A summertime red, white and blue pattern for purses and handbags called Seaside Collection. I had to have this purse. One of my few spring splurges.
Grandin Road x2 - Solar fountains and everything for the patio.
Splash (Frontage) - The beach in a book. Poolside paradise. I don't have a pool, so I don't care.
Home Decorators Collection - Who needs furniture when they don't have a house?
Ballard Designs - Ditto.
Crate and Barrel: So beautiful. So unnecessary. But I can't bear to part with it.
MOMA Design Store: Philippe Starck's ghost chairs are such classics. Worth every penny I don't have.
Talbots Accessories: Cute shoes if you're a little bit prissy.
Fair Trade: A log that touts "style with a conscience." That's a bit high-minded, except the clothes are stylish, cute, organic and they paid a fair wage.
Restoration Hardware Home: So thick it's sick. Could possibly keep a homeless person warm all night.
Hammacher Schlemmer: Who needs a performance water cycle? I don't even have a pool.
Retail therapy
I've been ignoring all the catalogs in my mail. I have a stack fit for the firepit. Why? Well, with food shortages and killer cyclones and foreclosure signs everywhere, the Catalogette doesn't quite feel like buying in bulk. I know. Have a pity party and move on, but really, do I need another pair of shoes? Another dish? Another purse? Another dress? Another piece of hand-crafted jewelry? Another 500-ct sheet set?
Short answer: No.
Long answer: No frickin way, but I want it anyways.
