Total value of new products is under $500 so not too much to report. That's why those who sold over $6,000 in SAT got 5% PC bucks.

As has been said, not too much being retired - the wovens, the easy adjustable measuring cup and spoon, changed the gift packages and reduced the # of half-price options to 4.

Other products restyled - cookie press to include a potato ricer disc, kitchen shears, adjustable measuring spoons...

Added a 4.5" serrated forged cutlery knife, ice bucket to match quick stir pitchers, cocktail shaker to match, dots martini glasses (most expensive new product - $44.50 for a set of 4), 2-cup prep bowl set, measuring cup set, easy conversions magnet (attendee gift), 2 sauces (Thai Peanut and Maple Honey Mustard), Creole Rub (we got a sample), cookie sheet (excited about this one!!), digital pocket thermometer replaces our old pocket thermometer, 5" strainer, stainless mesh colanders (3), snowmen app. plates, snowmen rect. platter, beaded cheese knife, beaded cheese plane, beaded cake/pie server, and made open stock the stainless cookware that's on the Aug. host special.

See my post under the recipes thread for the new cookbooks and theme shows.

Wish y'all could have been there!

[byrd1956]

sounds like it was a great time...can't wait to see all the great pics!

 

[byrd1956]

Did anyone experience using the redesigned cookie press? I always have some customers that get frustrated with it and sometime I go through a love/hate relationship with my cookie press.

 

[cpaylor]

Thanks! I'm excited! Any word on upcoming host/guest specials? Recruiting specials? Anything else.....

Pictures...

snowmen plates, measuring cups, cookie press #2


These are not my pictures but someone elses who was kind enough to pass them along to me as I was unable to go due to being 9 months pregnant and those pesky airlines not allowing me to fly. I am indebted to her, thank you!

 

[ShellBeach]

Thanks for posting the pictures!

 

[jackieblue]

CUTE snowman plates! Nice to swap out with the daisy plates for winter.

 

[cpaylor]

Love the snowmen plates!!!

 

[byrd1956]

Thanks for sharing the pics!

We did not use the cookie press, but watched a demo. Looked better than the old one. I know people prefer this type versus the gun type. This has a retro look to it.

Oh, there is a magnet for your fridge that has conversions on it and a Creole Rub. Dots Martini glasses, a dots shaker (for drinks).

New measuring cups - out with the adjustable ones, in with a stack of them. The handles snap together so they aren't all over your drawer.

OH! the new RUTH trivet is oblong so the DCB will sit on it!

 

[heat123]

I totally love the snowmen, better thant he trees from last year!

I thought the adjustable ones were pretty popular....

 

[chefcharity]

I agree, taterbug. I liked them.....
