Guilty Pleasure #2 | Harriet Carter

So at work today, the bookshelves were being cleaned and some of the magazine and catalog riff raff was being thrown out. I was a tad bored and decieded to look through the pile of junk. Most of the catalogs were your basic Crate and Barrel and clothing catalogs. But then the light gleamed up from this pile of trash... I found a Harriet Carter catalog. For those of you not familar with this little gem, it is basically the ultimate junk catalog for old people. It has eveything and anything you would ever need.

Usefull things like:
A Hair Cutting Umbrella


Doggie Neck Ties


And the best one, Urine Gone! which also includes a little blacklight


This catalog holds a special place in my heart because I remember browsing through this catalog at my grandma's house. There were always about four of them sitting on the coffee table. I haven't seen one for years and I don't think I ever really appreciated the true comedic value of the catalog.

I suggest you do like I did and requested the catalog to be sent to me. For those of you trying to save the planet, the website is just as amusing as the catalog, the link is in the blog title.
