I just checked the outlet this am and noticed the woven selections are now available. :)
 
Cool! I'm hosting my own show today and was planning to use my Large Round for bread and the dipping oils in the bamboo bowls. What a perfect plug for the Outlet!
 
Thank you for posting this! I had been wanting the rectangle one for myself and the long one for my MIL.
 
Thanks! Just sent and email.
 
The Large Serving Tongs are on there too. I remember someone asking about those recently.
 
I was all set to order them 'til I saw the shipping was $14.25. Yikes. No wonder people don't order from my outlet. I know, I know..we've had this debate before about shipping.

Keith, that's why I've started doing group outlet orders. I find a couple customers who want something and we all go in together and split the shipping.

If you go into TPC...under "managing your business"...and then "order samples, supplies, outlet", you could order ALL THREE and it's only the $4.25 for our shipping!!!
 
After paying direct shipping rate while living in Okinawa, and now paying Hawaii ship rate, I'm happy to see anything below $20. :)When we move to the mainland, I think I'll freak seeing a $4.25 ship option!!
 
The easy adjustable measuring cup and spoon are on there too, as a combo.

I know that. I wanted to order them from my website to add onto my commissionable sales for the month.
