A warm and cosy farmhouse Christmas MERRY CHRISTMAS from Our Home to Yours Wishing you all a very happy, safe and blessed Christmas and a prosperous and healthy New Year! I will be starting a major re-do of this website in the New Year.  For those who miss seeing certain favorite soaps and other products I would urge you to check out my Etsy shop at: www.etsy.com/shop/catsinthecradlesoap There you will find many lovely soaps, skin care products, beeswax ornaments and castings made from antique molds, and of course lots of wonderful old vintage and antique treasures. It's fast and easy to order on Etsy!          My newly formulated handcream is available now on Etsy                         Primitive Blackened Beeswax Santa Candles are available now on Etsy  www.etsy.com/shop/catsinthecradlesoap Check out our photos on Picture Trail!                                       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"   Have we lost customers because of our political views?   I'm sure we have.  But we've gained alot too!             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!     Below, a young Fred hangs out in the barn,  about 1980   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
