History

Established in 1993.

We actually were a home based store for 19 years and recently moved to a store front located in Gales Ferry in July 2012.

The owner teaches classes on a wide variety of techniques. She also has several ladies who teach specific techniques that they specialize in teaching.

Requests for classes are always welcome as well as requests by your own group of friends to get together for a workshop.

Meet the Business Owner

Kathryn R.

Business Owner

After trying out embossing with rubber stamps for a Girl Scout activity in 1992… it was «love at first stamp». I taught classes at a local craft store and also taught classes in Storrs, CT for a few months. I started doing home party stamping classes which led to having inventory from ordering 2 of each stamp. My husband built my shelves in our basement and my store was started in 1993 after a year of stamping with the home parties.

I also homeschooled our son from 7^th to 12^th grade so we had «stamping art classes» at our home store for our homeschooling friends.

Our church ladies came there to make cards for the church to send to our members as get well, birthday, or anniversary cards.

I also had the ladies from church make stamped boxes or other items for Valentine’s Day banquets, Mother’s Day gifts and any other special occasions.

The former Gales Ferry School on route 12 by Job Lot offered to rent their classrooms so that is where we moved my home business in July 2012!
