the hostess sets will never be available in the big catty now, so no luck there.
After the new catty comes out in July, you might be able to get the current hostess sets, like Porvance, in the B/S/T forum. Demos wont be able to demo them, so likley that some will become available there for decent prices, unlike Ebay.
Of course, you would have to wait 2 months until they become available on B/S/T, but that is where I would look first instead - you can even post a looking for thread.
I don't know how international selling goes, but if you're allowed to buy them from a demo then you can put together a big enough order to earn the hostess benefits yourself. Measure of Life is a level 2 hostess set, so thats not too bad in sales. Otherwise I recommend to keep a look out in the BST, and make sure to post an ISO so people know you want it. Good luck!

Stampin Up demo's cannot sell outside of where Stampin Up is currently selling. Even demo's in the US can't see to customers in Canada, etc even though SU does business there. We can only sell within our own country and only if SU does business there. Make sense? Sorry, I know it a bummer!
I feel your pain! Not about those particular sets but about SU not being here in England! :( I have heard that they are looking into it though, so fingers crossed. Not that that eases your current predicament - how about putting the call out in the B/S/T forum right now, so you get first dibs on any that come up for sale?
Go to the BST forum and put in a ISO listing for those two sets. You could trade some of your unwanted sets or supplies for these sets. I am sure there is some one on there that is willing to part with theirs!
There you go! Do you have any friends in the US or Canada who could place an order with their demo and then ship the items to you after they come in?
I do ! A brilliant, first class, wonderful, great friend !!! (did I say she was the best ??... that's Jkrebs btw....;) and another one too in Ohio...)
BUT, if I want the hostess set I need to order $ 150 of stuff, right ? (oooops, not likely) and then I 'll spare you the postage cost for so many stamps AND the Customs taxes (ouch)

well, I'm just starting of SU sets, so trading would not be possible, but I'll try to find someone who wants to sell their set....
How is it that they are already selling them on ebay.I also noticed it the othe day about selling 3 sets from the summer mini too.they must have gotten them at regionals and are selling them off already.

It's someone who buys stamps they didn't normally like at first,only to see it in Split Coast Stampers gallery in a different perspective.

Nope, the only set given out at Regionals was Sweet Shapes.
Anyone selling future hostess sets or Summer Mini sets on the bay is either a shady demo, or the friend of a shady demo :rolleyes:
thanks for all the pms I got.
April had a good offer I could not refuse;) ;)
so it's a done deal for the proven�al one....
For the other one, I'll see later....
