Okay, what do you do when you run out of cataolgs? I have an email sent out to fellow clustermates, but I haven't heard anything back yet. I have 2 shows left for the month and 6 catalogs to do them with.
 
You can still order F/W catalogs on supply order if you need to.
 
But I'm sure she wouldn't want to order 25 more for 2 shows and less than 1 month...

I guess if you can't get some from a cluster mate, you'll have to ask your guests to share.

Do you have any catty hosts who might have some that they can return to you?

Or someone here might be able to sell you a few and mail them...
 
I have extra catalogs and I'm in Indiana. Not sure where you are in the state though! I'm south of Ft. Wayne.

I live in Southern IN by Louisville.
Thanks for the offer though, a little far to drive lol
Hopefully someone will get back with me this weekend, or I will be calling!
 
I would call and/or email anyone who has done a show or that may have one. I did this last time and got quite a few back. I made sure they knew as soon as I got the new catalogs they would be the first to get one.
