Let's note this for the history books that I was right about the guest special. I'm sure it won't happen again ;) And kinda right about the host special b/c the new round bamboo bowls are on it.

Just to clear up the rumors posted in this thread... I have only skimmed through the CN.

No new product? I think the host-only apron is what the NED referred to.
No mid-season catalog?
Yes, holiday mini catalog?

Time to do my supply order.
 
There's always a mid-season catalog, but usually they just change up the appearance a bit to make it more holiday-like and festive. Nice but frankly "dates" your catalogs if you've still got 'em in January.YAY!

YAY!

Not always. There was no fall midseason last year.

I just called HO about this again and was told that she didn't think we are getting one this season but she will check and call me back.


...last week they said yes. lol
 
Sorry, I was talking about the mini catalogs. They usually come out with a mid-season book that simply has something different on the cover. Maybe a different recipe or two. But your customers won't be feeling like they get an "inferior" catalog if they get this rather than its mid-season replacement. That's the way my June customers felt.
 
Well was there a mention of the mid season catalog change or when can we buy the mini catalogs in the October CN?
 
I think so. I know there was something about the holiday minis.

There has not been any mention about a full catalog change for mid-season but they have suddenly announced such a change. I'm waiting for a call back from HO on this.

You can buy the holiday mini starting today!
