Spring is Sp”egg”tacular!

The days are long and sunny, the rain has been kept at bay, and spring has officially begun. I can’t tell you how excited I was to see the vernal equinox roll around again. It marks the end of a dreary winter and the beginning of the beautiful spring and summer seasons in Santa Cruz.

This year we have a couple of adorable seasonal items available online (see above and below) and we’ve got a special coupon running now through April 6th, 2010. Enter the coupon code SPRING5 during checkout on www.pacificcookie.com to receive $5 off your order, no minimum purchase required.

I hope you’ll take advantage of this sweet little deal and treat yourself or someone you know to a couple yummy cookies.

Best wishes for cheery weather in your area this weekend!

Cookies, Kids, & the Pearson Family Photo Shoot

Leave a Comment

In recognition of pediatric cancer awareness month a few Vine Hill Elementary school moms collaborated with Cookies for Kids Cancer to hold a community bake sale. Michelle Riddle contacted Pacific Cookie Company to see if we would be willing the donate cookies for the event. It was so successful that the 250 cookies we donated were sold in the first 30 minutes and left a lot of hungry kids with two dollars in hand pretty disappointed. So disappointed in fact that Michelle and her friends decided to hold another bake sale the following week. The bake sale raised over $1200 for Cookies for Kids Cancer, a small non-profit that encourages people to hold bake sales to raise money to help fund pediatric cancer research. www.cookiesforkidscancer.org.

Michelle, a skilled photographer, was so appreciative of the donation of cookies she offered to do a photo shoot for the Pearson family. With three little ones all under the age of 4 years, Nana Shelly (owner of PCC) had always wanted to get a good photo of them together. One late afternoon in November her dream came true and here are some of the amazing photos that Michelle took.
