Catalog Shopping with The Book

Artful Giving

Artful Giving

This may be a bit premature but are you thinking of the holidays yet?  With Thanksgiving so late in November and one less week to shop before Christmas, we’re holding onto the catalogs that are already overflowing from our mailboxes.  The Neiman Marcus Christmas Book – The HeArt of Giving – is on the top of our pile and while we wouldn’t say no to any of the luxurious treats featured in it, we definitely have some favorites we’d like to share with Santa.

… to the incredibly creative staff at Anthropologie for always coming up with catalogs that spark the imagination and tell a fashionable tale.  Issue 08 had us at “something about the city that night” so, of course, we read on: “the light through windows, the fall of rain, the quiet everywhere… made them see something in each other they had missed before.”  What a romantic way to showcase the new fall collection!

Let’s Go Shopping: Olive & Cocoa

We get a deluge of catalogs (perhaps because we shop so much?) so it’s rare to come across one that stands out from the crowd and really catches our attention.  But Olive & Cocoa did just that last month when we received Bella Madre 2010.

From gourmet food crates, to inspired decor, whimsical fashion accessories and dare we say, real floral arrangements (gasp!), each Olive & Cocoa gift comes gracefully packaged inside a handcrafted wood box and dressed with an elegant satin ribbon.

And the best part – the gift wrap is free!

After spending some time poring over the beautifully edited Mother’s Day collection, we told our husbands that we would welcome any present from this delightful company…

Guess who got lucky last weekend?

So the next time we need to say Happy Birthday, Thank You or I Love You, we know where we’ll go shopping – Olive & Cocoa, of course!
