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.


2009 Passport Program

The Passport Program that we introduced in January 2008 has surpassed our expectations and we definitely know that it is creating excitement and energy within this already fabulous environment.  We are, therefore, offering the Passport Program again in 2009.  It will continue to be offered all year long so do let us know if you would like one.

Passports purchased in January 2009 are $12.00 each and $15.00 each for the balance of the year.  Please note that owning a passport is now the only means for receiving a discount following a class.  This is a major change in our classroom policies but we are sure you will understand the need for this change.

As a passport member, here are some of the highlights...

  • Receive 10% off your entire purchase of regularly priced merchandise all of the time – yep, every day, all day long.

  • Attend 12 classes and receive a class voucher worth $20.00 towards a future class (in 2009).  A new change in 2009 is that the $20.00 voucher is good for EVERY 12 classes.  Vouchers, however, cannot be combined.

  • Indulge in up to 6 mini cupcakes of your choice on six different visits to Coffee-To-A-Tea each month all year long!

  • Liberty Bell Printing extends to us up to 100 color copies at only 39 cents each one at a time or all at one time!  Paper is high quality 8-1/2” x 11” 25 pound text weight.  What a steal!

  • Liberty Bell has also extended a 20% discount on any Bergsma Product one time each month.  Purchase a Bergsma product every month and receive the limited edition 2009 Bergsma mug FREE at the end of the year.

  • Terjung’s Studio of Gifts (our fabulous neighbors across the street) is new to the Passport Program and extends to each member a 25% discount on any kitchen product that they carry once every month.  They have lots of really GREAT “stuff” so make it a point to stop by and check it out.  Stock up on your gift giving all year long!

  • As a member of the Paper Connection AND the Passport Program, receive 20% off on all 12” x 12” and 8-1/2” x 11” paper that is in stock all the time.  We love our paper!

  • Travel with Friends and Company to 12 different countries throughout the year (one each month) and get your passport stamped for the countries you visit.  Validate all 12 countries with our special stamps and you will be entered to win our 2009 Passport giveaway of a brand new Cricut Expression (value $600.00).  We gave one of these away in 2008 and many more folks are still looking to own one so we’ll do it again!!
Sound interesting?  Register today.  We are happy to e-mail you the registration form!     

"ENVY"lope Contest

Congratulations were extended to Linda Riegelsberger who won our 2008 “Envy”lope contest.  All the entries were fabulous and are still posted at the shop so do stop in to take a look.  It really is worth the trip.  Linda was awarded a $100.00 gift certificate to the shop.  Way to go Linda!! 


The Paper Connection

OK, stop the presses.  We are looking for new members to this terrific club and you may be just the right candidate.  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 2009 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.


Rent-A-Rack

Another new feature for 2009 is our “Rent A Rack” program at our West Seattle store.  This program is the brain child of one of our valued employees and we think it is brilliant!!

Each month a featured artist will be able to showcase and sell their work for the entire month in our baker’s rack.  A small percentage will be returned to the shop making it a win win for everyone including you who will be able to take advantage of some really great “stuff”.

Our artist for May is Lauren Stevens who will showcase several of her fabulous altered books.  We are sure that these are hard for her to sell but she wants to share her talents with others so stop in and take a look.  Our featured artist for June is Kelly Anable who, along with Jessi Cornwell, will feature their great collection of bead work.  Stop in and help support our local artists.  You’ll be glad you did.`

We hope the “Rent A Rack” program will be fun and rewarding at the same time.  Do check it out!!  Let us know which month you would like reserved and what product you’ll showcase.


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.
