Come one, come all — welcome to the second edition of the Kos Katalogue — What’s New? diary series. It’s a fun way to bring Kos Katalogue sellers & shoppers together, so we can get to know each other. Sellers who have listings in the Kos Katalogue can use the comments below to post their latest item, product, service, venture, or other news about their businesses. Customers and shoppers are encouraged to use the comments to ask questions, make suggestions, and so on. In between, we can hang out, share our news and views … and feel free to post pics of the stuff you’ve bought, sold, or have for sale!
The What’s New diary series posts every Sunday evening at 9 pm Eastern / 7 pm Mountain / 6 pm Pacific time. This is a Kos Katalogue group diary that also supports the Community Links, which are posted in the comments.
On tap this week — We had a bunch of new vendors and two updated listings since last Sunday! Check ‘em out a little further down… because right below here, I’m issuing my first call for features, so vendors please take note! If you’re wondering about Kos Katalogue, what it is, and how to join, scroll a little further for the info. And we have a poll, too. Now, without further ado ~
Call for Features — Seasonal Shift into Spring!Whether we like it or not* Spring is coming. Next week and possibly beyond, I’d like to feature some vendors with spring-related products and/or services. This can include items for springtime holidays, including Easter and Passover, and maybe even St. Patrick’s Day (if you can ship the items to get there in time). Give us a hint by posting things you’d like to submit for next week in the comments below, and if I need more info I’ll Kosmail you. Be sure to include a link so people can place orders!
*Not all of us like spring (as anyone who knows me, knows very well :) and some parts of the country do this back-and-forth between spring & winter. So, if you have anything that will help folks get through the last days of winter, include that too. That’s why I call it the “Seasonal Shift.”
Welcome New & Updated Vendors!We had several new vendosr in last weeks What’s New, and a couple of updates, too. The new & updated vendors are listed below, with links so you can check out their offerings. These are abbreviated listings; for full descriptions, see the Kos Katalogue Mothership.

What’s Kos Katalogue? and Where to Find It Kos Katalogue mothership diary is here: www.dailykos.com/...Kos Katalogue is an organized way to showcase the vast pool of small-business talent we have among our fellow Kossacks. From artisans and crafters, to fine artists, to writers and book publishers, to web developers, consultants, and counselors — and many more — Kos Katalogue lists an amazing array of goods and services. Every purchase supports a Kossack — many of our sellers gain all or a significant portion of their livelihood from these sales. When you shop at Kos Katalogue, you support indie and small businesses, help a Kossack pay the bills and put food on the table, all while bypassing the corporate noise. And, you get to stay out of those crowded malls!
Note: Kos Katalogue is a listing directory, not a selling platform. Links within the sellers’ descriptions will take you to the individual seller’s website or product pages, where you can get more information and make purchases.
How do I join Kos Katalogue?You can join the Katalogue listings as a seller by sending a Kosmail with your request to Avilyn, who is the Keeper of the updated mothership diary. Be sure to include a brief description of your products/services, and a link to your selling site.
