- Thyra, in housecat form for a change, streaches by the fire and curls into
- a ball again. With her head propped on one paw, she says to Gypsy <<Pegasus
- used to have an address for a shop in San Francisco that would make custom
- cookie cutters, to any shape you like. We now have several sizes shaped
- like knight's shields, and one like a rampant Pegasus for her, and another
- like a rampant bear for Jason (whose SCA device has two rampant bears on
- it). I doubt the information we have is any good, but you might check a SF
- phone book if you want to find the place. I'll see if I can find the name
- and other information she had on them.>>
