Gift ideas for Karen
There's a fine line between practical and tacky. With that in mind,
here is a "practical" page for my friends and family looking for gift
ideas. For mall-o-phobes (hi, Daddy!), I've included links for some of
the catalogs and items, as well as phone numbers for those who prefer talking
to a real live human being....
LL Bean, 1 800 221 4221
- Petite Canvas Duster (item KK30782),
size Large (petite), color Black, $139.00
- Open-Back Clogs (item KK23844),
size 6, color Black, $49.00
This seems to be a small website -- some catalog items may not appear
on the website. Choosing "Shop Our Catalog" from the main page gives you
a menu -- necklaces, earrings, bracelets, etc. -- to choose from, and you
can browse from there.
- Crimson Leaf Necklace (item D12000), $125.00
- Garnet Oval Earrings (item DT2700 in catalog, B14000 on website), $17.00
- Silver & Moonstone Earrings (item MM1800), $28.00
To order from this site, enter item numbers directly onto the
Secure Order Form. To browse the site, select the Table of Contents from here or the main page.
(You might notice from my list below that this is one of the best catalogs I've
found for period costume patterns.)
- Small Silver Twisted
Torc (item BSM-1102S), $55.00
- Renaissance Maiden Pattern (item FAN-01), $11.95
- Headwear Pattern (item FAN-02), $11.95
- Dashing Doublets Pattern (item FAN-03), $11.95
- Burnoose (Cape) Pattern (item ATI-031), $8.95
Their web page appears to be under construction -- there is an option
to print out an order form and mail it in. For now, phone-in is probably
the preferred method of ordering.
- Anastasia Garnet, Quartz, and Aventurine Earrings (item #3916), $39.00
- Cafe Algiers Earrings (item #4065), $42.00
I like most of the earrings on the accessories pages -- but
here are some of my favorites....
- Carnelian/Silver Earrings (item H71381), $25.00
- Lapis and Pearl Earrings (item BH7-4667), $35.00
- Petite Garnet Earrings (item R71027), $29.00
- Balinese Garnet Heart Earrings (item H71662), $55.00
