So all was well, and my boyfriend never learned of my loss.  I had the earrings sent to my post office box, you see, so he would never have to know about my irresponsible actions.

So all was well, and I even got the Sundance catalog delivered to my box.  Bonus!  Even though I couldn't afford anything from those pages, I still love looking at the catalog...

So all was well, until I one day opened my post office box,

To find it crammed with mail order catalogs, all addressed to me.

This was the start of a catalog inundation.  I didn't understand it- how did all these catalogs get my name and address?  How did they all seem to appeal to my unique taste sensibilities?  What was going on here?  I mean, I have never even ordered from a catalog!  I had only ordered one thing once off of the Internet- one thing, one thing only...

 My Frida Kahlo earrings from Sundance.

All of a sudden it was shockingly clear.  All these catalogs- all those dead trees- all my fault- all because of one innocent Internet order.  

How, I wondered, how, could Robert do this to me?  How could he make me, a self-described tree-hugger, responsible for the death of so many innocent, beautiful trees?

I decided further investigation was needed...  Please click here to find out just how many trees Sundance kills a year.
