    The thing I like most about your catalog Sunday posts is trying to imagine what my Great-Gran would have ordered if she had the money at the time. She was a Texas dust bowl gal in the 30's and probably would not have had the money to order from a catalog. But I love to imagine what she would have ordered if she had the funds. She had her second child in '35 (My Gran!) so I imagine she would have ordered something comfortable. While she wore mostly overalls during the depression I thinks she would have gone for the polka dot number fourth page down, 'C' for .79 cents in the green. Cute, flattering and thrifty!

    Aw! I'm so glad that these images evoke that type of feeling in you, Leigh Ann :)
