New Cookie Connection Merchandise!

Julia M. UsherFounder and Host, Cookie Connection; Owner, Recipes for a Sweet Life

Hi, all! I have a fun little announcement for you, which includes some goodies designed to make us feel even more like one big, happy Cookie Connection family!

Long story short, I recently partnered with teespring.com and YouTube to bring branded Cookie Connection and JULIA merchandise to YouTube. I’m beta-testing the feature now with some cute Cookie Connection tees and other goodies. Right now, I've got two Cookie Connection tees that look the same from the front . . .

. . . but which have different messages (in different sizes and colors) on the back:

I also have an assortment of JULIA-branded tees, mugs, and phone cases that bear some of my favorite catch phrases (like "live sweetly", "more is more", and so on). Here's an example of one:

All proceeds from these product sales go toward defraying the ongoing maintenance costs of Cookie Connection and my YouTube channel, so that I can continue to bring this content to you for free. Please check out the new merch by going directly to my store on teespring.com, clicking on any of the t-shirt links you see on the right hand side of this site, or accessing it under any of my YouTube videos on my YouTube channel.

As I said, I am beta-testing this concept with some very simple designs, and am not yet wedded to anything, so please let me know what you think and if there’s anything else you’d like to see. Please email all feedback to sweetlife@juliausher.com. Thanks!

Not to my knowledge, though you could ask customer service on the teespring site; they are quite helpful. You can also find exact size charts on the store pages. Below is a screen shot:

I went ahead and bought a medium.

Thanks!

I wear a medium too, and, if it shrinks a bit, that would be okay. The site says they run small, but they seem to run a bit big to me.

Also, to note: They print shirts only after the 3-day sales campaign concludes, so there will be a little delay before the printing starts. The items are on automatic three-day selling cycles or campaigns. But this is all explained on the store page and in the receipt you get.

I bought it to support you. If it fits well I’ll wear it to CookieCon. Thanks for doing it in black.

You are sweet! Thank you! I wanted to offer more colors, but the logo only works well on white and black, because of the other colors in the logo. One or another of them doesn't show up on most of the other possible t-shirt colors.

On the topic of CookieCon, are you interested in doing blog post coverage for it again? I haven't thought far enough ahead to organize that, but, if you are, would love to have you do it.

My t-shirt came today and I love it! I got “cookies unite the world” in black. Thanks for doing it in black since I’m not fond of white shirts. It fits great and I’m looking forward to wearing it at CookieCon!

Woo hoo! The logo colors unfortunately kind of restrict how many t-shirt colors I can offer; it really only looked good in white and black.

I don't wear T shirts but I think they are a great way to unify the group- the logos are meaningful to us that are a part of CC !

I love the mugs. I love mugs anyway and these are super!

Good luck and congrats.

Hi, Tracy! I think I answered this question elsewhere, but if not . . . you can't find it! The system launched in April and stocked out early in September, but I have decided not to reissue any more systems with this particular partner (Badger Air-Brush Co.) for reasons noted in this message I posted a month ago: https://cookieconnection.julia...ulia-airbrush-system.

I love the system and use it every day, but things just didn't work out with my partner. I'm currently exploring opportunities with another manufacturer, but it's too soon to say when/if I will release another system.

Thanks so much for your interest!
