Re-Create

We are pleased to announce the opening of our resale section located within the Checkered Cottage. All you need to do is bring in your "nearly new" card making and scrapbooking items. You will be assigned a dealer number and will receive 50% of the selling price. All items will be on display for 60 days - 30 days at full price and the next 30 days at half price. Checks will be issued on the 10th of each month for the previous months sales. These checks will be available for pickup in the store. Items may be dropped off in the store during regular business hours. New product is priced and put out for sale on Mondays. Items are accepted at our discretion.

Cards for Soldiers Workshop

You are invited to join Cindy and Jackie at Checkered Cottage to create cards that our soldiers can send home to their families and friends for holidays or special events that occur while they are out of the country. We host this event once a month with holidays changing monthly, but you are not restricted to create only holiday cards. You bring in your supplies to create and share ideas with other fellow cardmakers. A 10% discount is offered in the shop during this time if you wish to make any purchases. If you are not able to attend our monthly card night - we do accept cards daily in the store and they will be mailed out once a month to the soldiers. All monetary donations towards shipping costs are appreciated. We have the Operation Write Home stamp available in our shop that needs to be put on the back of every card. The requirements on what can and can not be on a card can be found at www.operationwritehome.org along with the schedule for the mailing of certain holidays. No glitter can be used on a card. For more information for upcoming dates please call Checkered Cottage at 314-909-7233.

Private Class Parties

Checkered Cottage will do a private class of 5 or more people on any of our class projects. You can bring in your own beverages and food if you like and we will set you up with the paper goods you need. We have hot tea bags, hot chocolate, hot spiced cider, and water that are available for anyone’s use during a class. All private class participants will receive a 20% discount on any shopping done in the store that day and the hostess of the party will also receive a $10 punch card. We do welcome children’s classes in the summer for embossing projects with Jan Conway for ages 8 and up
