Memories of Shopping at Sears

posted by Stacie on August 12, 2012 // 398 Comments »

Some of my first memories are of shopping with my grandmother. She always took us every single year to buy clothes. We did this twice a year.

My sister and I always looked forward to our shopping trips. We would get shoes, clothes, accessories and more. We were always in need of school uniforms and we always wanted some trendy items as well. I am pretty sure that my sister and I were always racing to see whose feet grew faster and as I am raising three chidren now, I am ready for them to stop growing. Sort of.

My sister and I would spend hours and hours flipping through the Sears catalog. We would bend back the corners of the catalog of the items that we wanted to buy on our shopping trip.

We did this with every single Sears catalog that came to the house. Our favorites were always the holiday catalogs because this gave us the opportunity to pick out exactly what we wanted for Christmas.

In fact, I remember shopping from catalogs like this one:
