Autumn Open-Air Market

10 am to 3:30 pm

Route 117 - Sugar Hill Town Building

Happy Critters Farm - Pittsfield, New Hampshire

Sharon Blais has become a regular at our markets.  Sharon raises her own goats and uses the Nubian milk to create soaps with over 30 fantastic scents. Besides soaps, she has lip balms, insect guard, lotions, and unique room & linen sprays. Your best friend can also enjoy her soap; her Dog Shampoo bar was featured by Dog in Sight. We've been using it on Molly, our beagle, and it makes her coat very soft (and clean until her next roll in something smelly & dirty). You can also visit www.HappyCrittersFarm.com for more information on her wonderful products. Sharon will be at the market both weekends.
     Sharon's homemade soaps retain their natural glycerin. Goat milk contains the highest butterfat at over 5% making this milk a natural emollient in itself. Sharon uses only pure essential oils and sometimes high quality fragrance oils to achieve a soft and natural scent. The raw shea butter is harvested and processed by women in Africa, supported through the fair trade alliance. Each ingredient provides a crucial component in creating a stable and rinseable lather. Happy Critter Soaps rinse clean, even in the hardest NH well water. You will notice the soaps will last longer than commercial bars. All bars are hand cut and cured for 3 weeks prior to being sold.

Karen Tucker makes these beautiful decorative plates - just the thing for the special dessert you want to serve or to hang on the dining room wall. Each plate is handcrafted and unique.
