It's that time of year...
Jan. 5th, 2010 09:36 am...when the Christmas lights look a touch tawdry, and the slow, quiet creep of winter needs something to juxtapose it so that you can tolorate it, even appeciate it, for the next however many months.
It is the glorious season of the seed catalog. Their bright, cheerful, flower filled pages greeted me like so many wise Aunts and Uncles when I was home for Christmas.
Millers. Burpee. Johnny's. My new absolute favorite has to be RH Shumway's.

It was the design of the thing that caught me - it's a seed catalog stuck in a time warp. It is illustrated in woodcut style, and designed like a catalog you'd find on a kitchen table in the late early 1900's. I got a dose of flowery green things and a dose of design all in one sitting.
Heaven.
