HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY ! Greetings and Salutations from Cats in the Cradle...we wish everyone a safe and happy July 4th as we celebrate and remember with thanks our freedom, liberty and independence and those who gave us the greatest country in the world ! I've always loved the old photo above with its kindly faced gentleman portraying Uncle Sam..what a different country it was then...NO political correctness....and the words "America First" symbolized honest patriotism, NOT racism or division......     Farmhouse Soaps & Vintage Treasures We have moved our vintage items from our Etsy shop to this website and hope you'll find something unique in addition to soaps. New items will be added each week.                                     Vintage offerings are from my own private collection gathered from years of treasure hunting, and from recent trips to do what I love doing most....perusing flea markets and antique shops!                    We are located near beautiful Alton Bay in the "Live Free or Die" state of New Hampshire!                                                                                WHOLESALE INQUIRIES WELCOME! We hope you have a sense of humor as our beautiful products are not the only thing you'll find on our website...there's alot of good old fashioned common sense and political quips too....definitely not for the faint of heart... or the "snowflakes"             Check out my LINKS page for great news sources...the truth, the whole truth...and nothing but the truth! If for some reason the links don't work, copy and paste the sites into your browser. We love our pets, all of whom are (and were) strays in desperate need. Please consider helping to support homeless and injured animals....consider donating to  your favorite local shelter.  Help make this year a happy one for homeless animals and provide a "forever home" for a shelter pet!                                                                    We remember our first cat...Sir Frederick Gas...the one who started it all "There is no surer sign of decay in a country than to see the rites of religion held in contempt."  Niccolo Machiavelli All photography, artwork, design by Chris Wittmann and may not be reproduced in any form without written permission
