Today in Catalogs: Garnet Hill, Brooks Brothers

The Spring 2007 Garnet Hill catalog came today. We love us some bedding and linens. Soft cotton mattress pads, soft pastel flannels, alpaca throws: it’s all here (along with the obligatory boring or overly-girly apparel, although we’re thinking these flip-flops would be great for summer). And what’s this? A bathtub?

There’s nothing nearly as cheeky in the February Brooks Brothers mailer, although the catalog underscores our occasional — and until now, secret — obsession with men’s suits and ties. How can anyone not love this Mini Flower Textured Silk Tie (in yellow)? And we’re always suckers for a nice wool suit (on sale, no less). Maybe WASPs do have more fun!
