November
5, 2008, Pomfret, CT . . . Join local author and artist Sarah
Brady Underwood at Celebrations Gallery & Shoppes in Pomfret on
Sunday, December 7th from 1-3pm for a sweet time! Underwood
will sign copies of her irreverently funny book “Sweet Memories,
A Gingerbread Family Scrapbook.” The story stars Fred &
Ginger Bread, cookie characters in a tale full of "fresh baked humor."
Your favorite "Sweet Memories" gingerbread cookie characters will
be available to purchase along with a selection of other artfully decorated
& delicious holiday cookies. Plus enjoy a complimentary cup of Harney
& Sons Holiday Tea. Books and cookies can be pre-ordered (e-mail
us!) so that you are not disappointed when they sell out.
"My mother and I started 'painting' gingerbread cookies thirty-five
years ago as Christmas gifts for our friends and relatives," explains
Underwood. "After the release of our book, I began to explore the idea
of the cookie as a piece of art. I love the challenge of designing the perfect
cookie for any occasion."
