Cottage in the Mtns

I am Rochelle Eisenberger and Cottage In The Mtns is where I make all thing: canvas bags; rag dolls; small tool rolls for crochet hooks, double pointed needles, or sewing notions; square drawstring project bags; needle books for darning, embroidery, or hand-sewing; bound journals; and all natural made from scratch soaps. My sewn items frequently feature embroidery or quilting and are often made from fabrics I've dyed myself.

The handcrafted soaps I make are made with natural oils and plant dyes, clay, and pure essential oils. Some soaps are made with plant based oils and milks, while others use lard, tallow, and goat milk.

When not making things, I enjoy gardening, foraging, taking care of goats, and walking in the woods with my spouse and dogs.
