So I can get to work on a retiring items flyer & email?

I'm not sure when you'll get the special edition CN, but if you can grab a reasonably in-focus snapshot, I'd appreciate it!

Thanks!
Joy
 
Same here, I would love to see it too
 
If I remember right, they did not hand out a SECN at NC last year, or if they did, not until the last day. Although, there was someone who went through the catalog to find everything.
 
There hasn't been one for the last few catalogs. Instead you have to find things yourself comparing catalogs.
 
And be wary of those early lists. The last few conferences or Spring Launches I went to, we thought for SURE that certain items were out, only to see them lurking.

Oh that's right - I forgot that they didn't hand them out anymore... don't know what I was thinking. Oh well - if y'all can wait, then I will :)
 
We don't know yet anyway!! I think new catalogs come out tomorrow.

Hmm... wonder if there's more to see? We didn't see a RUFTH item yet, and theme shows haven't been announced yet, right?
 
Nope, no Special Edition. CC only shows SS/10 and FW/10. The Marketing Guide was created after that and no list there either. I have one dated February 12, 2011 for the SS/11 selling season but have no idea where the info came from. I know where the list came from as my recruiter sent it to me but where it came from before that, it was probably someone's very hard work going through the catalog. I wish they would do it for us, quickly, as I used to sell a lot of the items being discontinued in that last month of the selling season.

They haven't gotten catalogs yet.
 
any news about these yet?
 
The only thing I saw Sheila post is that due to oil prices, there are a lot of price increases, most 50 cents. (Shipping going up a quarter two.) Some items are just too pricey to manufacture and are discontinued for that reason - namely, the caraffe, collander and bowl set, and cutting board with measuring cups.
 
surely the Rotary Grater has to be on that list :yuck:
 
Boy a lot of you want that to crash and burn doncha??? I like mine. Never had a problem with it. But to each his or her own of course. I must say though that a larger hand is better for using it I think. I figure most folks got the catty at lunch yesterday. Busy last night, getting home today and tomorrow so I bet we do not see anything until midweek. Luckily we will get ours by the 23rd and I can compose a list if need be. I always miss something though so...
 
Only things we know for sure that have been discontinued are the Carafe, the Colander and Bowl set, and the Cutting Board w/ Measuring Cups - they were all discontinued because of price increases. Nothing else that I know of, and didn't get a discontinued list.

Even the Seasonal Christmas dishes from last year are back again for this season.

60 price increases, and shipping increased to $4.75.
 
Here's the list. I stayed up until 1Am last night getting the raw info so there may be a error or two, but I double checked it.

That's a really short list compared to all the new stuff we got. And I'm happy to see that we don't have a ton of stuff listed as "new" that has simply been redesigned. Did the price of catalogs go up?

BBQ Basting Brush? Really? Didn't they just introduce that last season?

Probably the red and clear one that holds the sauce in the bottle?

No, that would be the BBQ Basting Bottle. The item number listed is for the brush.
 
Oh, hmm. I'm stumped then.
 
Nope, it's the long handled brush with the newly redesigned red bristles (SS 2010) that you can remove from the handle and run the head thru the dishwasher. I'm hoping to maybe see a different version without the removable head in the spring. My husband was baffled by that one. He is the man who hates silicone brushes and loved that design. Though the head will loosen over time and you have to be a bit careful with it.
 
The weekday dinners recipe set 1 and 2 are still in the catalog and are NOT bring discontinued. And the plastic colendars are bring discontinued
e
 
We just got the basting brush and love it. Funny through I haven't been able to get the head off yet... :-)
 
The Dots coffee and more and bowl trio? Good thing this month is my new consultant KE month - I'll have to order now!!
