Thanks Ann! That's what I was really wondering. Do you think they are going to continue the white as a Consultant supply for those who do Wedding Shows? They sure make a great looking Wedding Cake! ;)
I don't think it will be available to consultants. Order a couple before the end of February for yourself and current/future cluster!
 
I have three in use in my kitchen and one in my kit. (Go ahead and say I have too much stuff. I just consider myself prepared for anything!)

My old white one will find a place with my "I don't use it often, and it's not in my kit, but I need to be able to get to it" tools. Everyone has those, right?
 
Do all of the TTA come apart like my new one does? When I took it out of the box yesterday the whole bottom wasn't attatched to the rest of it. Is it me or is is supposed to be this way?
 
I am going to start using my new one at my shows NOW and the old one put my door prize stuff in it.:)
 
I'm using my new one starting now at my shows....teaser for the new products! I already gave my old one to my son so he can (hopefully) get all his markers, pencils, paint brushes, scissors..... in one spot! He was very excited and has already got it filled-up and adding stickers on it!

Yeah I don't know. I personally don't like them on kitchen counters. I think they look messy. I like them for shows and the bathroom would be a great idea under the sink. The black will look great at shows and the white well...a kids room, an office...I am sure we'll find a place for it...LOL
I put my white one in the cabinet. I agree....I dont' like it on my counter. It's cluttered enough as it is. I adjusted my shelf in the cabinet so it fits under the first shelf. Now that we'll have the black one, I'll just keep that with my show stuff, as well as all the redesigned tools. It'll be cool because I won't have to keep switching between the one for my kitchen and the ones for shows!
 
I would almost rethink using the white one at all...When we got the special one in the PC cinnamon color, I had to put it back at home and never took it to shows again! Even after explaining that it was a special gift I earned, I actually had several people accuse me of false advertising because they could not get it in that color too! I stick to a very strickt rule of thumb now becasue of that. If we do not offer it in the catalog, I will NOT take it to a show for any reason.
Oh and just a note, brushed steel may look great but touch it once and it holds the finger prints then looks like crap forever after. Unless you want to polish it up after every show and every use, forget about it!
