Cookies and Bookies
Fall and winter certainly feel like the seasons of tradition. We're a nostalgic group and love the idea of creating new traditions as well as keeping old ones alive. At Elsie Green, we've started a new tradition for the team that marries two of our great loves - baked goods and books.
