catalog love

imagine my surprise this evening when I sauntered out to the mailbox and found this…

The Restoration Hardware 2011 Source Book.  Also known in lesser circles as a catalog.  And not just any catalog…616 pages of juicy home decor catalog goodness.

It was like a gift from the decorating heavens, delivered by reproduction vintage angels.  What a pleasant surprise it was in my mailbox.

Now I’ll have days and nights of catalog love, like when I was a kid scouring the Sears catalog circling all of the toys I wanted Santa to bring. The difference is that now I’m my own Santa.  Not that it’s terribly likely I’ll buy anything, but oh, the ideafest!

In an age of all things digital, the shock of receiving a 3/4″ thick catalog is almost enough to make a girl hyperventilate! Of course, there’s a whole marketing theory behind it, but I won’t bore you with the details.

Quick, run to your mailbox to see if yours came.  If it didn’t, get one here.

And before you start hating, it’s made from recycled paper.  Love you, Restoration Hardware!
