We have three new styles available in our Celtic Cookie Stamp Collection. Our glazed stoneware stamp measures about 1.5″ tall and 2″ in diameter. Just press into a ball of cookie dough before baking – the cookie stamp design bakes into tops of cookies.
With each cookie stamp, you’ll receive a free recipe booklet. This lovely booklet includes instructions for use and care, plus eight delicious recipes perfect for use with the cookie press. (The unbelievable peanut butter cookies are fantastic!) This booklet also includes tips on how to use the cookie press for clay casting or paper casting!
It is a rainy, soggy day here in Virginia today – a great day for baking cookies!

The holiday rush is keeping us busy this year, and for that we are unbelievably grateful. Many thanks to you, our beloved customer! So in order to keep the orders moving out the door, I’m going to keep this newsletter quick, just a little December note with a few items of interest including our latest TierraCast sale and holiday shipping schedule. I’ll be back in 2010 with a full-length newsletter filled with new beads, projects, and animal stories. In the mean time – Eric, Owen and I wish you a safe, happy and colorful holiday. Thank you for being a part of our lives! Happy Beading — Erin

Here in Virginia, there is a chance of snow on Saturday night. It is a balmy sixty-five degrees outside this afternoon, so there is something absolutely magical about the phrase and thought of “a chance of snow on Saturday night”. Weather Underground has an icon depicting gamboling snowflakes with a curious little question mark buried among the flakes. It could happen – there is excitement in the air!
For those of you in the northern climes, or even from the westerly or northerly side of my own home state, this much excitement over the possibility of snow may seem quite ridiculous. But ever since we moved to this coastal county by the Chesapeake bay, the flakes have flown far to infrequently for my mountain-girl soul. Even an inch of snow is a rare and celebrated event in our little corner of the state, and we’re keeping our fingers crossed for a dusting this weekend.
We wish you all a joyous and exciting holiday season! — Erin, Eric & Owen
