Last week, Mom gave me a catalog that had been sent to their house for me... dated "Holiday 2003". The cover features a fiber-optic butterfly. I couldn't resist the lure of the kitsch, so...

Other fine products available (at least last year) were fiber-optic bonsai, a levitating globe lamp, glow in the dark jigsaw puzzles, a coin bank that feeds money to a wolf, light-up jigsaw puzzles (little lightbulbs come with), fiber-optic cactus (notice a theme?), and a mini Zen garden with not only sand and rocks, but also a crane, a bridge, a pagoda, and two fishermen. Very spare and relaxing, indeed. And, as Queue pointed out, an almost spam-like headline "Hide Your Treasures Within Our Lovely Nesting Cat Ladies." Just what I need, indeed.

I almost think "Nesting Cat Ladies" is an apt description of the catalog's intended audience. :)

*grin*

I have to admit, there were some things that were actually nice, like interesting wooden puzzle boxes. But on the whole, yeah.

There's always something nice in those catalogs. (Of which I get my fair share.) They make a nice test of one's ability to find signal among the noise.

Wow! Cool!

What's the name of the catalog? Do they have a website?
(I googled for "nesting cat ladies" and found them. ;-)
