A Few Spring Updates

Craftopia Spring Show | April 10, 2011

Stella Marie's first spring show was a great success (that's us on the right, with the polka-dotted table linens)! Along with 2 other crafty friends, I help organize Craftopia, a super duper day of original art, craft, music and food. We put on three shows per year in Pawtucket, Rhode Island (1 spring, 2 holiday) and so far, each show has been better than the last. I am fortunate to be able to work with wonderful ladies and we always have great fun organizing the show, despite the amount of work involved. We are able to attract amazing local artisans and we are truly grateful for our talented applicants and the customers who come in throngs. If you are interested in learning more about our events, follow us on Facebook or check our our blog!

Our soap of the month for April is a fresh, sweet treat! We invite you to celebrate spring with Mouthwatering Melon Madness! April's Featured Item, Caught in a Wash, offers up a clean fruity fragrance and bold orange and blue stripes!

We are also placing 2 of our March soaps on sale in order to clear the decks for more featured items. You can now get our yummy Irish Cream soap and our Fresh Cut Grass soap for the low, low price of $3 each! Quantities are very limited, so you've got to act fast!


Our spring soapmaking workshop is officially scheduled! It will be held on May 28th, from noon to 4PM. Click here for all the details!
Be there or be without soapmaking skills.

Starting this spring, selected varieties of our soaps will be available at Whole Foods Markets in the Providence area! Be on the lookout for us, starting at the Cranston location in Garden City Shopping Plaza. We will send updates as locations are added.

Introducing the Soap of the Month!

Begining this month, Stella Marie is going to showcase one limited edition soap each month. To kick things off, we are putting Opening Day in the limelight. Check out this newest section in our store. And thanks to all who voted in the poll!

Disturbing News

A friend of mine sent me this article. It describes some shocking findings from some seemingly reputable baby bath products. I didn't realize that some manufacturers actually use formaldehyde in their products. Seriously? I thought these things were regulated, but sadly, no. The FD & C does not require approval of these products before they go to the mass market.



Part of the reason I started making soap was to be in control of all the ingredients and know that what I was creating was healthy, without any weird chemicals. I applaud soap makers who take the health of their customers seriously. Formaldehyde does not belong in your tub. At least, that's my opinion.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to you all!

Thanks to all of my way cool customers who have helped Stella Marie off the ground. 2008 was a very exciting for us and we look forward to more soapy adventures in 2009!

Besides the aforementioned gift sets, we will be introducing a couple of new items:

Mighty, Mighty Bar Soap
A Tribute to the Mighty, Mighty Bosstones

Spearmint and lemongrass soap in a mighty, mighty large bar.
Available mid-January, 2009.

Hearts of Stone



Heart-shaped bath bombs in happy pink sugar.
Available mid-January, 2009.

Can't wait to get this party started!

Art Beat 2008

Stella Marie Soap Company will participating in Somerville's annual ArtBeat Festival this year! It takes place in Davis Square on Saturday July 19th (rain date: Sunday, July 20th).

From the Somerville Arts Council website:

"During the heat of summer, artists and festival goers converge on Davis Square, transforming it into one of the area's largest and most innovative arts festivals. ArtBeat includes music, performance art, craft vendors, dance, theater, food, and a whole more. Each year we develop a theme that serves as a launching point for artists and the community to express themselves."

This year's theme is : GREEN.

So, if you are a local yokel, and you want to enjoy a day of good times, come on down! We'll be offering the full product line! I'm going to put the whipped shea body butter on ice.
