Well it is technically summer now, and many signs that it is indeed time to break out the flip flops and shorts are starting to appear (kind of...come on Mr. Sun!) but none more so than that circled date on our calendars...the last day of school!  Congratulations to all the students who have worked hard all school year and are now ready for a break and some new adventures.  Congratulations also to our fellow teachers who have worked hard all school year and are now ready for a break and some new adventures :)
Being teachers, June is an extremely busy month with all kinds of celebrations and wrap up activities going on.  It is also at the end of this month that we say goodbye to graduating students, retiring colleagues, and teachers and students moving to new schools for the fall.  The absolute classic book for these moments is Dr. Seuss' "Oh, the Places You'll Go" (one of our all-time-favourites!!!) and with this in mind we created our cookie version of the inspirational title.  We think these make a great gift for graduates and retirees, or perfect party favours for the celebrations that follow.     
Big thank yous are also in order as here at the Steveston Cookie Company we have been extra busy in the past few months and we have all of our awesome customers to thank for that!  May and June have been very busy with retirements, graduations, wedding showers, baby showers and more!  And of course, we have been busy with our dear Steveston Farmers' and Artisans' Market.  Thank you to everyone who comes by our booth when we are there to say 'hi', and to pick up some treats.  At the Market you'll always find some classic Steveston Cookie Company cookies such as our Flocks of Seagulls and Steveston Boats, along with some seasonal specials and other surprises.  Check out our photo galleries to see some pictures of what we have been up to, or send us an email if you want to request that we make something in particular for the Steveston Farmers' Market when we are there.

Steveston Village is full of amazing restaurants, social gathering spots, historic sights, and of course, great shopping.  You will find my hand and face prints on the windows of one shop in particular... The Spotted Frog.  This awesome store features gorgeous, quality furniture, and beautiful, unique home decor that you wont find in the large furniture chains.  The Spotted Frog is also a great place to find gifts with lovely, thoughtfully-chosen items available in all price ranges.  And don't miss the fantastic seasonal displays... currently for Fall huge gnarled branches dripping with gourds and pumpkins descend from the ceilings, looming over gorgeous solid wood tables laden with place settings in warm autumn shades.  At the Steveston Farmers and Artisans Market this Sunday, September 27th, The Steveston Cookie Company booth will feature place settings created by The Spotted Frog Furniture Company.  Gorgeous place settings and beautiful, delicious cookies... your key to adding instant style to any special event.  Hope to see you on the weekend!
