Just wanted to thank you all for your expedient service and excellent pricing. I read some of the comments about your shipping charges, and I thought I’d let you know that I find your shipping costs to be quite reasonable. I had ordered multiple stamps and they all arrived in pristine condition. You guys Do Not mess around when it comes to packing! I doubt they even budged once the box was sealed. Your command of packaging techniques and appropriate use of materials for the job at hand demonstrated to me that your shipping costs were absolutely fair. Thank you for your attention to detail. Thank you also for the lovely stamps!
Enclosed you will notice a picture of my most recent cookies. These are a springerle recipe, the dough was made and stamped yesterday and then left to dry out overnight (so that the stamped design would set). I
baked them today and the amount of detail remaining in these cookies is really impressive!
Every blade of grass on the elk stamp, every little line on the viking ship, even the bees on the beehive… they all turned out beautifully! You’ve made the season for me and you’ve earned yourself a loyal customer with a broad tendency to tell everyone she knows about your stamps. 🙂
I’d love to see if you could come up with a springerle rolling pin, but I’ll just drop that in the ol’ idea box and hope for the best sometime in the future.
Thanks again!

Greetings:
What a joy to find your website. I have been looking for cookie stamps ‘everywhere’ to be able to purchase a holiday gift. We will be traveling to Poland for the holidays to meet the family of our potential future son-in-law, whose mother bakes wonderful holiday cookies of many types, from what we are told. I thought cookie stamps would be the perfect gift idea to take with us, and have been searching for a couple months to find some that were lovely and look well made. Then I came upon your website. I can’t wait to put together an order. Thank you for your time and your great website.

PS I may just have to start baking cookies and get a stamp or two for myself – they are beautiful!

“Robin,
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for your hospitality, tour of the crafting area, your kindness and generosity. It was such a wonderful treat for me just to meet you. As we discussed, the first time I got turned on to Rycraft was in the early nineties at the Trade show in San Francisco. That is also when I really got into Rycraft and Brown Bag cookie stamps and shortbread pans. I remember ordering from you when you were still located in Oregon.
What a wonderful treat it is that you are now located in Chester and I can actually drive over and check out all of your beautiful collections. Thank you again for your kindness and I look forward to meeting your wife Carol and probably making more trips over to Chester than I should. But I am hooked on cookie stamps and have been spreading the word around Quincy….
I am telling everyone that I know, who is into baking and stamping, about you. Hopefully it may generate a little more business for you. However, you didn’t need any miniscule help from me, as you have such a wonderful, established and incredible business that your excellent reputation precedes you. I will look forward to receiving some of your emails regarding sales and new products and to seeing you again in the very near future.
Thank you again and God Bless,”

“Dear Mrs. Rycraft,
Checking the price of shipping the chosen cookie stamps to Slovenia, I gave up. The amount was so high, even if I reduced the selection to barely a couple of them, that I couldn’t afford it. The shipping, I mean. The cookie stamps’ prices are ok.
But I cannot forget them. The summer has passed and children and I will start to bake again, and all I have in my mind are your perfect cookie stamps. I looked and looked around the Europe for at least a substitute, but to no avail.
Yours are just so perfect. I crave for them. Not a day passes I don’t think about a way to obtain them, short of traveling to your location. Which is not possible.
Today I got a response from my daughter’s friend who is studying in San Francisco. His sister will be there for a couple of days from now, and she could have come to your location and pick up the stamps, if that would be possible. I have to let her know today still, or at least tomorrow, and I am not sure if you make any exceptions, as I see you only ship your products. Or if you have any other idea.
I apologize for bothering you but my wish to decorate our cookies with your beautiful designs overcomes my pride – I kindly ask for your help. No, I beg you.
Whatever the result, I thank you in advance and send you best regards,”

“Hello –
I’ve had my Rycraft cookie stamps probably for at least 25 years, bought most of them in Frankenmuth, Michigan and still really enjoy using them. I always buy them when I see them. Thanks for making such a great product!! Would you be able to mail a recipe booklet to me? I don’t think I’ve ever seen one. Thanks much – can’t wait to bake those Christmas cookies!!!”

My sister and I have been using your cookie stamps for years, love them, and yes, they have created many happy memories and traditions for us. I plan on handing down my stamps to my two daughters when the time comes and hope they cherish them as I have. Thank you for your beautiful, handcrafted, made in the U.S.A. products. I enjoyed reading the family history of your business also.

Robin & Carol:
I prefer to see and touch what I purchase, but in this case, I already know the quality of your cookie stamps so I am assured of what I am getting. Now I am finally placing an order online so I can enjoy and share more of the amazing designs/cookies!!!
Thanks for creating such beautiful products! Also, I would like to get a list of retailers in Oregon, Washington, California and Texas… just in case I happen to be near a source. Maybe you even have someone locally here in the Portland area and I just haven’t happened upon the location yet.

I wanted to thank you for sending the monogram stamp (for our daughter’s wedding) so quickly in the middle of your move. I wasn’t expecting it so soon and know you made a special effort to get it out. The cookies were beautiful and made a special day even more memorable. Thank you so much. It was appreciated!
God bless,

Hi Carol,
Thank you so much. You guys are great. I understand about the move and everything. As I’m sure you can see from my order, I bought plenty of cookie stamps so I think the shower will survive without Circle of Love [#076]. I made the unbelievable peanut butter cookies using the bird [#192] and the elephant [#366] and they are getting rave reviews so those are the ones I plan to make for the shower (it’s Saturday).
Thanks again for all the pretty stamps, and I hope you’re enjoying northern California!

…I have 9 cookie stamps that my Dad’s secretary began giving me in the early 70’s. We are about to move, so while organizing my kitchen “stuff” I rediscovered them, buried in cabinet. I’m so excited to see them again, and decided to look you up online to find out more information about them. What fun, reading about the history of these little works of art! I’ll have my husband build me a case for proper display, now that I’ll have room in our new home, and I’ll be using them, too. I’ll be baking in altitude now (Denver), so can you advise me on any changes I need to make to the recipes?
Thank you so much!

Hello,
I love your cookie stamps!! Wanted to let you know that you do not need to include the recipe cards with this order. I have quite a few. I have told everyone I know about your cookie stamps and website. I heard you spoke with my aunt in Arizona a couple months ago. Hope you had a nice move. Thanks again!

Thank You!
I appreciate your speedy work and quick delivery of these stamps! They made wonderful trophies, and helped in contributing to another successful fundraising event for the American Cancer Society!
You helped make it possible for this event to raise $3,000 for the ACS!
Again, Thank You!

Dear Carol,
I smiled at the timing of your e-mail, as I received my order on the 15th! Thank you for the notification, but there was no inconvenience at all, and I am very pleased with the cookie stamps. Now I am looking forward to an opportunity to try out some old family-favorite recipes, and maybe some of the new ones you included.
I am quite delighted – my mother was the only person I ever knew who had cookie stamps (hers, I think, were stoneware) and I was so happy to come across your website. It brings a little of my childhood back to me, and hopefully will let me share some of these same kinds of memories with my own daughters. Thank you so much!
Sincerely,

Very excited about finding this website! I fell in love with the cookies that Martyha Stewart did and was disappointed when I couldn’t find the stamps [until now]. Also, spoke with someone on the phone -– so friendly and helpful. Really appreciate your customer service. Can’t wait to get my stamp!

In response to trying one of our recipes for Almond Shortbread:
I have been making these cookies for 25 years! It has become a family favorite around the holidays. I am making these for an American Girl Tea Party for 24 girls at our Library. The cookies will be highlighted as cookies that Kirsten would have made. Thanks for helping my family and friends make memories enjoying these great cookies.

I had a cookie stamp many years ago; when we moved the stamp was lost. I would like very much to be on your mailing list, as I have hopes of collecting the many beautiful stamps, and making the wonderful cookies to share with family and friends. . . . Thank you for continuing this wonderful tradition and wonderful accomplishment (gift) from your parents.

I was so pleased to find the recipes on line, and will be making my family’s favorite, Melting Moments tomorrow. I have given thousands away over the years, all with rave results! You should be proud of doing such a great job!

. . . . I just had to write as I have had a little book of recipes that came with the stamp. I think I purchased it in a kitchen shop, but it is so long ago! that I don’t remember. I have been making the cookies, all the recipes, since for Christmas. I misplaced the recipe book, it was in tatters from all the years of use and when I looked this year for the recipes, I only had the cover! BUT that had your address on the back and I have found you and my favorite recipes again!!!
My family and I have loved the recipes, and I would have hated to lose them. It’s exciting to see all the other stamps that you have.
Thought you would like to know, and thanks.

Thank you so much for your prompt attention to my order for two stamps, and for replacing mine that had the broken handles.
I appreciated it very much and have already used my new ones and given the others as gifts. The recipient was delighted.

Thanks so much, Carol & Robin! I love your cookie stamps! I’m excited to give them as Christmas gifts this year. A fresh batch of cookies (made with my own stamp), or fresh batch of cookie dough, will accompany the stamps I give as gifts. My first cookie stamp was given to me by a friend, and I was “hooked”. Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Most of my Rycraft stamps were purchased in Corvallis in the 1980’s. I am looking forward to receiving these new designs. After reconnecting with family in Germany, I have been baking Speculatius and Springerle each Christmas. Your designs will be a nice addition to my cookies.

Wow! What great customer service. Thanks so much! My daughter is an exchange student in Denmark this year. She won’t be home for Christmas, but I’ll really enjoy having my new Scandinavian ornament and cookie stamps to use.

Hello! I appreciate the quick response. Earlier this fall I came across your cookie stamps in a shop in Fredericksburg, Texas. I bought two for myself and one to give away. I’m looking forward to using them (and, hopefully the new ones) in the next month.

I would like to thank you for replacing two of my cookie stamps free of charge and no shipping charge. What a great company to deal with. You are truly good Christian people. May your business grow by leaps and bounds. I hope your husband is now well and has made a complete recovery.
God Bless you folks and thanks again,
