It's the most wonderful time of the year. REA auction time!

Now, sometimes when I get home, the catalog has already been taken from it's box or envelop, but not for the pretty pictures ... but for the smell.

She's even mentioned someone should capture that fragrance and name it "eau de Catalog", as she thinks a lot of men would want to be reminded of the day the catalog arrived, and some women wouldn't mind it either.

I have heard of (and participated in) smelling of cards but not the catalogs. I will have to try that. REA always has some good stuff. I am almost always more broke after their auctions too .

If you've recieved a catalog from REA in the past, do you keep getting them, or do you have to request one each time?

Man, you're missing out. Always enjoy the smell.
