RE: news of the day: catalogs

One of my favorite kinds of catalogs is the kind with all the obnoxious
tee-shirts...the kind I plan on wearing as a 90 year old little old lady
just to annoy people!!!!

I love 'em, too, Melody. At my house, I have The Catalog Basket,

feet deep.<br>That's where I store all my catalogs. This time of year,
of course, it<br>always overflows.<br><br><br>Some of my favorite
catalogs are Heirloom Roses, Archie McPhee<br>(novelties), Deva Lifewear
(all-cotton clothes ideal for gardening),<br>Lehman's Non-Electric (from
a huge general store that serves the Amish<br>community), Northern Sun
(clever tees, bumperstickers, and pins--<br>something to please and/or
offend everybody), and Gardener's Supply Co.<br>I also receive the What
On Earth catalog with all its great t-shirts. My<br>favorite slogan is
