Not neccesarily to buy from but to get ideas and inspiration. I have a few catalogs I like to browse though. Some are:

Veritas Press
Classical education
Rainbow resource (Use this one for descriptions)
Sonlight
Timberdoodle

What are your favorites?

I love the Timberdoodle catalog. :) The Elijah Co. catalog and Christian Book Distributors(?) (CBD) are great too.

Catholic Heritage Curricula
Memoria Press
Love to Learn

:happy:

Love to Learn
Timberdoodle
Rainbow Resource (the best ever!)
Sonlight (great resource!)
Christian Book Distributors (they have a lot of really neat stuff)
SK Science Catalog
Hewitt (I have never bought anything but I like how they put grade level curriculum together)
ROCK Solid (great prices, better than Rainbow)
Lamplighter Press - so pretty!

Nova Natural Toys
Paper Scissors Stone
Chinaberry
Barefoot Books
Patternworks

While I like to look at these paper catalogs, I'm really more of an online shopper. So I also like to browse at A Child's Dream Come True, Music For Little People, Cheap Joe's, Toymobile, etc.

I stay away from traditional homeschool catalogs because I don't want to be tempted to spend money on things that we really don't need. I'm putting all of our money into the Enki guide and resources, as well as the necessary supplies like watercolors, paper, recorders, etc. I actually recycled our Rainbow Resources catalog without even looking at it. I got it last year and was overwhelmed by the size.

Oooohhh, I love Chinaberry! I like to go through thier catalog and buy the books elsewhere for less! LOL I will only buy from them when it is a fund-raiser, YKWIM?

I like alternative/natural type catalogs too, like Paper Scissors Stone. I know that it is a Waldorf catalog but they have some really, just generally cool stuff!

This is fun! LOL

This is great! I will have to go do some catalog ordering.:) Another one I have that I like is:

Montessori services: http://www.montessoriservices.com/
I've gotten lots ideas from this one.

I received a great catalog called "Daedalus Children's Books" It's Childrens books and music overstocks up to 90% off. For once, I'm not mad I got on a "list" somewhere. The prices are great.
the website on the catalog is www.salebooks.com
I also get Covenant Home catalogs, and some Catholic ones.
