Brock and Thyra's wedding was one of many this summer for which we had the privilege of creating some cookie favors!  They decided on a colour scheme based on a regal purple, a very popular colour for weddings this year.
   Their lovely invitations were not blue and black as my poor quality photo suggests, but rather white with a purple edge and a swirl motif.  The bridesmaid dresses were purple and gorgeous, and all of the flower arrangements and bouquets featured some dark purple blooms as a base with brighter pink accents. 
   To round out this theme, we created cookie favors with a white cake shape, dark purple text and a variation of the swirl motif from the invitations.  Purple satiny ribbon finished them off and provided a nice extention of their colour scheme for each place setting on the tables. 
   Finally, remembering how hungry we were after neglecting the delicious buffet at our own wedding in all of the excitement, Andrew and I put together a little snack basket for the couple to be sent to their hotel room in case they felt the same way.  We put in some extra wedding favors and a dozen of Grandma Nam's Classic Choc Chip, along with some tea from one of our favourite gift shops in Steveston.  Yum! 
   Congratulations Brock and Thyra and wishing you all the best for a long and happy life together :)

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.
