2010 Rio Grande Catalog

I received a great gift in the mail yesterday from my postal carrier, the latest 2010 Rio Grande jewelry supply catalog, 962 pages of awesome jewelry making goodies. This one is a combination of the company's Gems and Findings Catalog and Display and Packaging Catalog, which are normally bound separately. I didn't see anything specifically mentioned on its web site about this new edition, but if you are already on its mailing list, then you'll probably get one, if you haven't already. If you aren't, then you may want to call and find out how to get one (1.800.545.6566). There is also a tools catalog, so that means that this has just about everything in it but tools.

While I admit to doing a lot of my jewelry supplies shopping on-line or at wholesale shows, I still really enjoy having a hardcopy catalog to browse through or look up something when necessary. It sort of reminds me of flipping through the Sears toy catalog when I was a child.
