too fond of catalogs

I think I need to give my postal carrier a truss for Christmas. Like everyone else I get a ton of gift catalogs (that’s aside of all the book catalogs) The Signals catalog came this week. As always there are a bunch of literary gifts, including this little bugger:

Too Fond Of Books Ornament

“She is too fond of books, and it has addled her brain.” Bearing Louisa May Alcott’s famous quotation, our happy ornament is the perfect gift for the passionate reader you know. Crafted from acrylic lacquered paper embellished with ribbons and beads, she’s delightful. 9″ high, complete with beaded hanging hook. $12.95

Personally, I gave up holidays, trees, garland, ornaments when I acquired cats.
