Greetings everyone and Welcome to Friends and Company!

We are fully loaded rubber stamp stores located in West Seattle, just 15 minutes southwest, and in Issaquah, just 20 minutes due east; of downtown Seattle, Washington.  Our hope is that we can be and will remain your number one stop shop.  We carry thousands of rubber stamps and tons of accessories for all your rubber stamping needs.  We have a host of classes for all ages as well as special events such as birthday parties, specialized rubber stamping classes, group meetings, and so much more.

Friends and Company's exclusive line of original art is also available in unmounted rubber!

Please check our site often.  We are continually growing and hope to hear from you soon.  Our newsletter includes all the great "stuff" going on at the shop along with tons of classes to choose from. We are sure there is something for everyone.

Let us know what you would like to see as part of this site.  We are excited to be on-line and want to help you fill those toolboxes with lots of goodies, ideas, tips, and whatever else you might need.  Give us a call anytime.


2010 Passport Program

A new issue of the 2010 Passport is now available and sales will begin on 1 January 2010 at either location. Remember that the passport is valid at either of our locations. This also applies to class and/or store gift certificates. The passports are available in January for $12.00 and will increase to $15.00 thereafter. Passport benefits include the following:

The Paper Connection

We would love to see all of you as members of the Paper Connection.  Being a member of this great club helps us in more ways than one can imagine.  You, as members, are what we need to help keep us afloat.  We are always looking for new members so please give it some real consideration.  We think that you will be happy you did.  Read on for more information.  Please take time to join and register today.  It’s loads of fun and its value is great also!

Looking for some fun?  Looking for some surprises?  Looking for something different?  “The Paper Connection” may be exactly what you are looking for!  The Paper Connection is an innovative, fun, and perhaps unique approach to owning paper and is made up of club members who just love paper, love getting packages in the mail, or simply do not have access to some of the rich, vibrant, and high quality paper now available on the market.  The club consists of membership with monthly dues of $19.95.  Each month, members receive a mystery package delivered directly to the address of their choice full of fun surprises and “stuff” which is all about paper. 

Membership also includes bonus items that will enhance your paper collection each month.  With each six month membership, members receive a 10% discount at Friends and Company on all stocked 12” x 12” or 8-1/2” x 11” paper products during the time of membership.  As an added bonus, members who are also 2010 Passport holders, receive a 20% discount.  Sound appealing?  We think so!  More details are available at the shop, so do stop by or call to check it out.


Annual Fundraisers

Holiday Food Drive, Sweet Willey Roundup
and
Sweet Willey's Cakes for a Cause

We totally recognize everything that is done for us and find it is especially important to remember at this particular time of year and pass on the good will.  With your help, we have been able to reach out into many communities to give back and extend a helping hand in one way or another.  The Sweet Willey donations took us over the top with donations in excess of $1,100.  Way to go everyone!

And because of your generosities, many lives have been changed for the better.  The Food Barrels for both the West Seattle and Issaquah food banks were not as full as in years past but continued to meet our expectations.  Again, many lives were touched.

We were also successful in reaching residents of the Hickman House, an underground refuge for battered women and children, who are being phased back into “life”.

So, between all of us, we have been busy.  Many many thanks for all that you have done and/or any contributions you may have made towards the many fund raising endeavors that we have embraced.  It is really because of you that any of this is possible.  Even when faced with our own hardships, the generosities excel.

Our summary in five words:

"Thank You Very Very Much!"

 


Happy Birthday!

Receive 25% off on any one rubber stamp as our special gift to you for your birthday. This offer is good only for rubber stamps we have in stock and can be used any one time during the entire month of your birthday. We will continue to verify your special day with your driver’s license or other appropriate ID.


Do we have your E-mail?

We are moving to the age of  e-mail for announcements on special events, sales, and general “stuff”.  Send us an e-mail to be sure to get on our list!


Newsletter Delivery

Our newsletter has proven to be a valuable resource so we want everyone to continue receiving it. Here’s how:

  • Pick up a copy from the shop.
  • Print it from the internet. Click here to go to our Newsletter page.
  • Provide us with 6 legal size #10 envelopes that are pre-addressed and pre-stamped an you can continue to receive it by mail. (Renewal of this method will be required each year); or
  • As a member of The Paper Connection, a copy will be automatically slipped into your “pizza” box.

As usual, our first order of priority for the new year is to update our mailing list. We love to introduce new folks to rubber stamping, however, the database is rather large so updating helps us to minimize associated costs. This also includes e-mail as we are required to “lump” e-mails which in turn takes some time before completing the list. In any case, each January we ask you to verify your address and/or e-mail. so that the database can be updated.

If we do not hear from you, you will be archived on the physical mailing list but not on the e-mail list unless you tell us otherwise, so please take a minute to let us hear from you. If you are unable to make it to the shop, simply give us a call. We want to make sure that all our valued customers get all the information they need to have a fun and fulfilling year so don’t delay. We thank you in advance for helping us streamline our database.


Exchange Policy.  We will very gladly exchange unused items within 30 days of sale but a sales receipt must accompany your request. No returns or credits are allowed. We are sure that you understand the necessity for these policies and will support them.
