My Francis Meyer catalog arrived!!!

24 years ago

And I'm so totally inspired now! I only wish I could find HALF of those stickers in stores around here. Wow! What a fabulous selection! I got a ton of ideas (and I must admit that I never even looked at their border stickers because they're not 12" but now that I've seen what they've done with them in some examples, I'm going to check them all out the next time I'm shopping. They obviously can be easily adapted to a 12x12 book) and I can't wait to put some of them to use.

Thank you thank you thank you to whoever told us about getting that free catalog! :)

I got mine the other day too!! I can't believe how much stuff is in there. I agree with Patti though, half of it can't be found anywhere. Oh well, I guess that's half the fun of being a scrapbook junkie; searchin' all over for the good stuff!! LOL Happy Easter! Hilary

How is your Francis Meilland doing?

So far so good with my large own root bareroot from Rosemania. I saw larger budded ones at San Gabriel Nsy but have a feeling own root will be a good choice if this rose is a bold grower. For an own root, it has grown quickly with stout canes but then it had some good sized roots to start with.

Mersi, which nursery, 'did you buy' mites from? :) + :( But seriously, was it Logees? Is Logees owned by different people, (in the last 10 yrs?) Logees was my favorite place to shop, locate those hard-to-find rarities. Plants were insect-free and decent sized. They still send catalogs. For the life of me I can't figure it out.. :) Thanks Mersi, actually surgery is this coming Tues, Mar 31. I am soooo scared. One out of 3..sheesh. Mike, so are you saying Logees doesn't sell grafted citrus? If that's the case, another point against them. Mike, all my citrus are grafted. The only non-grafted tree was one started from lemon seeds..It was very pretty, but thorny as a Cactus. Ironically, its leaves were lemon scented, something I don't detect in nursery-bought grafted lemon trees..strange. Mike, don't be surprised if they won't sell the 4" Gardenia. Many nurseries keep a plant for display purposes. A local nursery had the biggest, most Beautiful Variegated PonyTail Palm ever. Not common variegated with stripes. This tree has long leaves with yellow circles. It was absolutely beautiful. On the bottom were 4 offshoots. I asked the owner how much it cost..he joked saying, you'd need to take out a second mortgage..lol. He had many offers from other nursery owners all over the US, but he refused to sell. He got hold of this tree in the 40's..they tried rooting offshoots, but they either died or grew in green. I wanted to try one SOOO bad. Anyway, we stopped at this nursery in Feb. The owner is in his 70's or 80's and has since lost interest. The PT was thrown in with other tall plants, all crunched together. Its ends were brown, soil so dry it cracked..I don't see any easy way to repot since it's been in the same 32" container for years. It looked terrible. I asked a clerk why the owner didn't have it on display, she said he lost interest. It's ashame seeing such a beauty smashed with other trees. Sometimes, when plants have disease or pests, they place a Not For Sale sign. But in your case, I think they're keeping the Gardenia as a model, an example of what another 'denia will look like. It sure doesn't hurt to call. I hope they agree to sell. If for some reason they owner declines, try not to be disappointed. Keep us posted..Toni

This OP has posted several dilemmas lately. I started reading this one from the onset and yes, there are several of the more critical posts missing. She clearly was happy about the selections and appeared to want validation from the people that had helped her with her other dilemmas. One of the first comments on my first dilemma on here was devastating to me and left me very upset. Fortunately, I have a thick skin and just flagged it and then along came some wonderful people to help me. Sometimes certain contributors just go too far. I’ve seen many OPs run off from this forum, but this is the first I’ve seen someone completely delete their account. THINK before you comment people! You could make or break someone’s day with your words

I ordered it a week or so ago, but it hasn't come yet. After hearing this, I really can't wait! Maybe it was a mistake, I've already spent enough to retire on in getting involved with this addiction--and it is--make no mistake!

I ordered mine from their website and I also ordered Mrs.
Grossman's catalog. They're free, just click away!

I am just beginning in scrapbooking and would like to know any info about it and any hints, etc. about it. Is there a favorite book to use to get started? I live in a rural area so I have to make the trips to the city (1 1/2hrs. away)count. If anyone has any input could you please let me know, I would really appreciate it. Thanks. KiddieRN

I think I missed something: where are the prices in the catalog? I ordered one b/c of the rave reviews it got. I've only been able to skim so far, but I didn't see prices. Can someone help me out?

Amy,
There are no prices in the catalog because unfortunately you cannot order directly from them. It is just showing you their complete line of products. You have to find a retailer that sells Francis Meyer.

Amy,
Frances Meyer doesn't sell straight to the public to the best of my knowledge (which is rather limited) you have to have a store or order from a store to be able to buy thier products. Most of us ordered it to use for a guide as to what products were available. Some one correct me if I am wrong about this . Penny

You cant find the prices because there are none. the catalog that i got months ago i too order because of all the great things i had heard about it but i get it and so what??? you cant find most of that stuff anywhere and you cant order from it so what is the point of having it?? It is no fun wanting something that you cant find.

My LSS will order anything I want from the catalog when she places her shop order (that's assuming she doesn't already have it). I think that was why I wanted the catalog - it showed me what was available even if I have to wait for it.

Dear Tracy,
Most of the scrapbook stores will order out of the catatog for you if you ask them too. I also got a copy of the catalog so that when I want to do a swap with someone else who has the same catalog I can list the items and pages that I am really hunting and I can't find locally (you know I'm scrapbook store deprived locally LOL) and sometimes they either already have them or they will pick them up for me in exchange for something I may have that is in the catalog that they are looking for. It makes it alot easier to try and explain what you used to make a special layout with too. For example instead of just saying flowered paper, with rose stickers I can list exactly which paper and exactly which stickers. I have had great success swapping with other members on here who have been kind enough to hunt down the items I don't have, Thank you ladies, I have loved all of our swaps, and you have saved me a ton of gas money since the stores are so far from me, when I have REALLY needed a certain page, like when I have for example the groom shirt, but couldn't find the bride veil page anywhere-Thanks Pam for that one.

Thanks for explaining everyone. Now I know how to go about ordering if I find something I can't live without!
