Oh dear!
I seem to have found my way onto some mailing lists, and I don't know how much longer my willpower to resist the goodies within will last!
Rather too many of the catalogues that have arrived chez moi are of the rather-expensive-to-say-the-least variety, and I cannot imagine how they EVER thought I would find the pennies to spend with them.
Ah but it's nice to dream, and you never know, one day I might win the lottery.
(Mental note to self: improve chances of this happening by buying a lottery ticket once in a while.)
In the meantime I (sadly) won't be buying the Zelda Dress (£359) and Velvet Zip Pumps (£239) from Plumo...
 |
| In my days, pumps were rubbery and flat, in black or white canvas with an unattractive semi-circle of elastic to keep 'em on! How did they ever evolve into this? |
Nor will their Wire Bird Cages (£79 and £59) be winging their way in my direction....
Graham and Green's Alpha Chest will not be adorning my home (as I haven't got a spare £995 hanging about)...
I do love the Grand Cafe Margot Clock...
..but at £195, I think Mr U-t-B would be saying 'Time to cut up the bank card!'
Other desirables can be found in the 'Culture Vulture' catalogue...
 |
| Folk Art cushions - forty-five quid a pop or a bargain-acious eighty-five for two... |
and of course 'Cox and Cox'...
 |
| My heart skipped a beat when I saw this trolley. I think it's because it reminds me of the ones that used to have the enormous rainbow of powder paint tins, the metal jugs full of brushes and the water pots on at junior school. And that mirror just makes me think 'Playschool'! |
Ah well!
But then a catalogue arrived that I had actually requested.
'Panduro Hobby'
Inside its 468 pages of Scandinavian loveliness there is a huge range of Tilda products...
Gorgeous crafty embellishments...
Oodles of scrapbooking and papercraft supplies...
Cardboard boxes in all shapes and sizes, just crying out 'Cover me!'...
All manner of goodies for upcoming events...
Cute wooden blanks to paint up...
And all kinds of metal and wirework...
And so very much more!
I wonder how long postage from Malmo takes?
You are now officially on my list of naughty people for making me aware of all these sources of temptation that I didn't know about before! Those prices from Plumo drop to reasonable levels in their sale section. x
ReplyDeleteI just love Panduro, but I do have a weakness for Scandinavian designs of all types! I also should buy a lottery ticket sometimes as you never know! x
ReplyDeleteI'm always quite safe until the Lakeland catalogue pops through the door. Sad person that I am, I hanker more after cake tins than velvet pumps...
ReplyDeleteThe way I deal with them is, have a look through, say that's nice, lots of times, then quickly put them for recycling! Ada :)
ReplyDeleteFunny that I get those catalogues too...

All of these catalogues falling onto your doormat tempt you into real nortiness don't they? I usually enjoy reading them like I would a magazine along with a cuppa and a few biscuits. Howeever, as much as I might like to afford a dress that costs over £350 I know it's never gonna happen. Nevertheless, it's always nice to step into that dream world for a little while
ReplyDeleteI often think I must be the Queen of catalogues and I don't know why, I seldomly ever order from catalogues.
