The Kos Katalogue is a community based project designed to highlight and promote Kossak's businesses, support Kossaks in general and to promote progressive businesses.
The Kos Katalogue will be published near the beginning of every month (we hope), not just on major holidays. It encourages Kossaks to support each other and progressive businesses no matter what they celebrate (religious gift giving holidays [Christmas, Hanukkah, Eid, Diwali, Soltice, etc.], Valentine's Day, birthdays, anniversaries, etc.) or need to pick up something for themselves, their homes, etc.
Remember Kos Katalogue for all your gift giving, household and other needs!
The very first Kos Katalogue or Kos Mart was started by
Nurse Kelley ♥, November 2010. (some say she posed for that valentine --> )
The Rules for submissions can be found here. A submission call to update any listings will be made around the last week in February.
This is the last katalogue for this month. PLEASE REC the katalogue!
Thank you.
