Welcome to Casting Keepsakes online!

Casting Keepsakes is a home grown business that got started in a kitchen in 2002 by 2 sisters trying to find complete hand & foot casting kits for their newborn infants. Unsuccessful in finding exactly what they were looking for in retail stores, they spent several weeks gathering and testing molding and casting materials until they found what they considered the perfect combinations. [Side note: One sister was a biochemical engineer, so this was a good excuse to get in some 'play time' as far as she was concerned.]

Because they had many left over supplies, they decided to put together kits to give as gifts to family and friends. Over the following year or so, the word about the kits apparently got out and when they started getting requests for kits from people they didn't know and eventually from across the country, they decided to begin offering them on eBay under user ID MarlasMarket. [They have had over 10,000 transactions on eBay since 2001. Their feedback rating is over 5500 and is 99.8% positive.]

Casting Keepsakes has since launched this website and moved out of the kitchen and into a dedicated space. However to keep costs down and because a lot of the work is done during non-business hours, the pair have chosen not to maintain a physical store-front. They do, however, attend various events, expos, shows, craft/gift fairs, etc.

The casting kits have always been packaged and assembled by hand and some of this is 'out-sourced' to stay-at-home moms in the area. When you receive your casting kit you can be assured that it is freshly packaged because the kits are never packaged more than about 4-6 weeks in advance and many times it may even have been packaged just the night before. [Note: The clay keepsake kits, baby ink print kits, pregnancy art and the ProudBody Pregnancy Belly Cast Kit are not manufactured and/or assembled by Casting Keepsakes.]
