A sure sign it's Spring, despite the bitter cold! We've had a very cold Spring and freezing rain this April 15th, and distressing news regarding health issues that have made it difficult to think of making soap as I normally would be doing this busy time of year.  I'm asking our customers to be patient as it will likely be May before my inventory is restocked enough for large orders. In the meantime you can still find soaps in my Etsy shop and I will restock your favorites there as soon as they become available. Read our update on the Farmhouse News page for more and don't forget you can search out our soaps and vintage treasures on Etsy if you don't find them here...just click on the Etsy link below.     Visit us on Etsy for Soaps, Vintage Treasures and Beeswax Castings that you may not find on this website  www.etsy.com/shop/catsinthecradlesoap                                       Vintage offerings on ETSY 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"             We love our pets, all of whom are (and were) strays in desperate need.
