Who We AreWe were once Dolls to Hug. We are the same people with a new name and some new products. This time we are all involved-- the whole family! Our name was created out of two elements in our daily lives: our very small house and the level of noise created by a house full of four lovely children and their two parents. Some things remain the same, for instance, we still do Custom Orders! (Scroll down further for Wholesale Information) Noisy Cottage is located in Portland, OR- though, currently, we do not have a physical (or brick-and-mortar) store. We are an alternative family with four children who emphasize art, creativity and a deep celebration of childhood. Noisy Cottage was started not only to help us make ends meet but to be a creative outlet for our family. It is a venture we do together so that, as a community, we can help pay the bills while also doing fun projects and making art. Both the momma and the poppa bear of Noisy Cottage attended Waldorf school- one in Germany (Bochum) and one in the US (Ghent, NY) and they bring this experience into their daily parenting. The bear cubs knit, play outside, sew, find gnome houses in every tree, read books and tell many stories, keeping alive the magic and wonder of childhood. We spend our days crafting, learning, having tea times, playing and more. And, in the moments when the bear cubs are off playing with each other or at their local school, Momma Bear gets a chance to sew, felt and craft to create many of the dolls and toys you see on this website. Poppa Bear works outside of the home for as a master carpenter. He uses his spare time to play with the cubs, work on the actual Noisy Cottage (our home) and do projects with the children. ***Wholesale Information*** We do wholesale many of our products. Below is a list of products we currently wholesale. We will consider wholesaling some of our other products please inquire with us directly to learn more. We strive to keep our wholesale prices low while still getting paid for the time and effort put into each creation. Your purchases/orders go to support and true small family run business. (The Linda Link dolls are not available for wholesale) Custom Crayon Holders- These are our own Noisy Cottage Crayon Holders design but with a customized twist-- you get to choose felt colors and work with us to design a *custom applique* for your crayon holders. Plus, we will not repeat your design with any other store or company unless you give us *written* consent to do so. That means you get to put "exclusive" next to the crayon holders on your site because they were design with you for your own store/company! Soft Momma Breastfeeding Sets- Yes, these are available wholesale! You choose, hair color and type, velour colors, skin tones, eye colors and styles, snaps or no snaps (again, your choice) and even whether the faces have smiles or a plain line mouth.
