Addiction to The Company Store Catalog

Has anyone else gotten "The Company Store" catalogue in the mail?? I love this catalog with an unholy desire. I love EVERYTHING about it, and I always peruse the pages lovingly. Looking over each page of sheets and comforters and blankets, the color choices, the fabric choices... the patterns.... And depending on the weather outside, I change what fascinates me. Right now I'm interesting in anything that seems "warm". Down comforters, flannel sheets and fleece throws - I look over each page and examine the different "degrees of warmth" that they have, the "good" vs "best" pillows, and I ignore the insanely high price tag of everything I want. I know I've posted before how much I want the puppy dog flannel sheets, but right now I am longing for the following:


North Pole Flannel Bedding















Doesn't that look all lovely and warm and soft?? God I want to climb into the pages and get under the covers...


Down Blanket Throw













We already have one down blanket on the sofa and Jeff and I fight over it during the winter - we need another one.
Over-Sized Down Comforter


The description for the down comforter in particular is almost pornographic in detail:

Our exclusive Double Diamond™ comforter / duvet is filled with 600-650 fill power goose down for a more luxurious comforter / duvet.
300-thread count cotton cover is stitched through in diamond pattern.
Machine wash.
Made in La Crosse, Wisconsin, of fine imported materials.
What does supersize mean?We've taken our traditional comforter / duvet and given it a few extra inches to create a supersize, super luxurious comforters / duvets with a generous 15 in. drop (that's 4" wider and 10" longer on a queen size bed). As lofty and billowy as our traditional versions, only grander because you can never get too much of a good thing.
Doesn't that make you want to buy the comforter and curl up underneath it wearing some over-sized flannel pajamas and a nice mug of hot chocolate?? Because damn do I want to do that very thing. In the wintertime I LOVE getting into bed. I love the flannel sheets, the soft blankets, the thick comforters and burrowing under all those blankets until I am nice and snugly warm. Do I need to mention that Jeff HATES that I pile our bed with all those blankets?? He gets too hot and when we first started dating I had this SUPER thick comforter and Jeff would actually throw his leg OUT THE WINDOW because he was so hot. Out the window, and I lived on the THIRD FLOOR!! I also worry about Nathan not being warm enough... right now he's wrapped in his "Baby in a Bag" comforter thick sleeping bag and I worry that it's not thick enough. Maybe it's time to break out the fleecy baby footie pajamas as well?? Oh, and don't think we've forgotten Monty, because he just got his new fleecy jacket from:
