About Caldos y Gatos

Welcome to Caldos y Gatos a Rosary Shop!

Thank you for visiting Caldos y Gatos Rosary shop. My shop was named after my love for making soups (caldos) and cuddling with my three adorable cats. 

My creativity comes from The Lord; inspired by God. My rosary designs are mostly about love, flowers, being a light in the darkness, colors, cats, and some with matching accessories to encourage and motivate others to love and continue with daily prayer.

In my darkest days, praying the rosary saved my life. Now I make handmade rosaries filled with faith, love, and a little fashion.

Your support helps me keep going—and it is a reminder on how God led me back to the faith of my abuelitos.

So if you’re looking for a rosary that’s meaningful and made with heart, you’re in the right place!

Owner, Sandra Isabel Hernandez, says, "Caldos y Gatos is more than a rosary shop—it’s a story of healing, faith, and devotion."

Her rosary shop is named after her love for comforting family and friends with soups (caldos) and spending time with her three beloved cats. 

Sandy’s creations are rooted in her lived experience — a journey marked by resilience, faith, and the quiet strength of healing. Raised by her abuelitos, she grew up surrounded by love, tradition, and the gentle rituals that would one day inspire her work.

Life brought painful revelations and traumatic moments, including the truth about her biological parents and the wounds left by her father’s abuse. For a time, these experiences pulled her away from her faith.

Yet through reflection, creativity, grace, and a miracle, Sandy found her way back. Today, every rosary, blessing card, and keepsake she creates carries a piece of that journey — a reminder that beauty can rise from broken places, and that faith can be rediscovered, renewed, and made personal again.

Each purchase supports her dream of continuing her mission to share light through prayer. 

The dream is to publish my story; Caldos y Gatos: A Rosary, A Dream, A Return to Faith. 

“No estás sola, mija,” Holy Mary Mother of God, Mother to the Motherless, Mother to all humanity. 

Future publishing aspirations, In this deeply personal memoir, I'd share my journey from heartbreak to healing, rebellion to redemption. Raised by my paternal  grandparents, my world shifted during the critical age of my adolescent years when I learned they weren’t my real parents.  

After many years of grief and spiritual wandering, a dream of Mother Mary led me  back to the faith of my troubled childhood.

Through handmade rosaries and heartfelt prayers, I found strength, purpose, and peace. Caldos y Gatos is my story of love, loss, and the unwavering grace of God.
