The Braithwaite House has been busy

testing new fragrances for our customers, we've also been searching for accessories that will accent our soy candles and patti melts. After much looking and researching, we think we've found some wonderful items. We will soon be offering simmer oils in stunning decorative bottles, as well as pot-potpourri burners in various styles and colors.

Roswell Stargate is busy gearing up for the up-coming UFO Festival that is held every year here in Roswell. Our "alien sudz" have been a big hit with the locals, now if I could just have 18 more hours in the day! Dawn

Finally Friday -

Decisions, decisions, decisions - so I can pour candles for the Braithwaite House and get prepared for the Roswell UFO Festival in July OR I can attend an estate auction, that promises to be absolutely wonderful. This auction is from a very large estate in the southwestern part of the state, and from the pictures, it seems this lady liked to collect anything and everything. Last weekend entailed cleaning out the barn and what an undertaking that was - just plain 'ole hard work.

Well, I won't be able to stand it if I don't go to the estate auction, at least just to "look" - no harm in looking right? There could be boxes and more boxes. Who knows what treasures could be buried in those boxes - something I might need.........

A New Adventure begins.........

The Braithwaite House is very proud to announce that our products can now be purchased at: www.abeautifulsecret.com A wonderful store that offers all the creature comforts that we ladies need and deserve - from make-up to hand poured soy candles from The Braithwaite House. Our sample service is also available through A Beautiful Secret.

A New Venture........

The Braithwaite House will soon embark on a new business venture. We're going to spread our wings a bit and partner with other store owners. Our latest fragrance "God's Grace" has been a great hit with our testers, and will be available on our website in the near future.

Our Roswell Stargate division is gearing up for the 61 anniversary of the UFO Festival held here in Roswell, New Mexico. The entertainment for this years festival are already scheduled. The familiar "lime green" figures are starting to appear in shop windows as well as on the sidewalks of Main Street. I'm sure it will be another outstanding year for the festival.

New Fragrance from The Braithwaite House

We've been busy testing a new fragrance. We think our customers will enjoy this one - we've named it "God's Grace". A nice light fragrance, perfect for the spring time of year. It will be listed on our website shortly. The Braithwaite House has also created a sample service form for all our customers who need to "sniff" before they purchase. If you'd like a sample patti meltz to try, visit our website www.thebraithwaitehouse.com and complete the sample service form and a sample of your choice will be on it's way to you. The mailing expense is on us - so enjoy - Dawn

Muncaster Castle Fragrance

After much searching, we've finally decided on a nice fragrance that will do justice to the name "Muncaster Castle". A nice light floral with a touch of leather. We will have this on the website once our testing is complete.

As we continued our search for our “family ancestors”, it became clear that our family was not only related to the “Braithwaite’s” of England but also to the “Pennington’s” of England. The Pennington family has resided in the Muncaster Castle since the 1200’s. Muncaster Castle is located near Ravenglass in Cumbria. The Pennington family currently reside in Muncaster Castle today. Archeological work that is being done at Muncaster Castle suggests that it may have been the location for a large Roman fort. I think our next endeavor at the Braithwaite House will be to find a soy candle fragrance that pays tribute to our Pennington Family. www.thebraithwaitehouse.com

Aunt Blake and Owens Scones

Aunt Blake and Owens have lived in Delaware their entire lives. The Braithwaite Family fondly refers to Aunt Blake and Owens as our “Great Baking Aunts”. The sisters were employed by the local school system as cooks, and by “cooks” we don’t mean open and can of something and heat it up. This was cooking (the old fashioned way) they used the ingredients found in the kitchen and made their own versions of meals that fed hundreds of hungry school children. On days our “Aunts” were ill, the school children would have to eat from the snack machines. Upon the “Aunts” return, the children would make it known to Aunt Blake and Owens that there would be no more sick days. The Braithwaite House has proudly named a wonderful baked fragrance “Blake and Owens Scones”. Now, you too can also enjoy the home baked goodness of our “Great Baking Aunts” in your home. Just imagine, the home baked aroma of sweet butter bread smothered with raisins, brown sugar and cinnamon – this fragrance is a touch of days gone by.

The Braithwaite House

Ever wondered how some people come up with the names for their businesses? The Braithwaite House comes from our family ancestors. After some extensive research (years of research and several notebooks later), we have found that our family line comes from England and parts of Germany. They migrated to Virginia. I am pleased to say that I am a decendant of the Braithwaite and Pennington families.Our Braithwaite House business is comprised of family members. Take a tour through our fragrance list and you'll find some of the names of our ancestors as well as the names of their homesteads, businesses and nicknames. It was our decision to use these names as a tribute to ancestors and the heritage they have left us. We're still developing and creating our website. But we'd still love to have you stop in -www.thebraithwaitehouse.com - questions? proprietor@thebraithwaitehouse.com
