Shimmery

Home for the Holidays | Holiday Collection 2011

I am SO excited about this month's soap! Think: clementine, clove and cinnamon with shimmer on top! It was dyed with Bramble Berry Lab Colors Yellow & Orange + Cocoa Powder. Home for the Holidays will be available through the end of December. Beginning next month, it will be joined by two other limited editions. Stay tuned!

Dragon's Blood Soap in Progress

Here is a pic of this month's featured soap in progress. The red oxide gave the raw soap a beautiful rusty red color - exactly what I was going for! Once the soap cooked and hardened, though, it became a muted red/pink/brown. Not bad, but not what I had in mind. By adding a red shimmer to the top, the design has a bit more depth.


This soap, along with a couple of other fall treats, is now available in our online store.

Summer Blues

Hello, Summer!

All three soaps are now available in our online store!

Easy as Punch!

This season, we are rolling out the Punch Card! When you purchase 9 soaps, you get the 10th one free! This offer is only valid at in-booth sales, so you've got to visit us at one of our weekly markets or events to get your card punched and redeem it for free soap! Open market season starts on May 1st and we can hardly wait! See you there!

Providence Open Market & New Bath Confections!

We will be showcasing some new treats at the Providence Open Market tomorrow!


This is a variation on our bath bombs. We've actually used a similar treatment a couple of years ago, but we've added the label this time and are using a Hoodsie-style cup rather than a cupcake liner. This is a very summery-style. Flavors for the weekend are lemon, cherry, cotton candy & lime!


Soap cupcakes for this weekend's markets are citrus splash, raspberry, wisteria and ginger verbena!

Busy! Busy! Busy!

Hope you all had a great Mother's Day! I had a very pleasant day with my mom and my grandmother. My cats bought me nothing. As usual.

Ok, onto the soapiness ...

First up, you can now find our cute cupcake soaps at The Cupcakerie in Cranston, Rhode Island! They make the best REAL cupcakes and now they have added some novelty cupcake items to their shop. Check them out sometime!

Since we are such fans of supporting our local peeps, we are now using coffee beans from New Harvest Coffee Roasters of Pawtucket, RI in our Java Lava soap. Their coffee is certified organic and Fair Trade.

Please check out our spring and summer schedule, now updated to the right. We are all booked up and ready to rock the outdoor markets ... and your bath tubs!

Speaking of summer and rocking your bath tubs, we are planning on launching some amazing soaps in the very near future. Be on the lookout for a beer soap (using Narragansett, because they are our neighbors, of course!) and key lime pie soap. The hops in beer provide great moisturing benefits for your skin.

More Changes

I'm on a roll with changes these days. Here is a hint at one of the latest changes to the line:


I am discontinuing fizzing bath powders to make room for salt soaks. I am reeeeeallly excited about this product. The soak consists of 3 different types of salt, including dead sea salt. There will be 4 varieties offered: pink grapefruit, tangerine & lime, coconut cream and lavender. I will be making some modifications to the gift sets in the next couple of days, to reflect this addition to the Stella Marie collection.

May 2009 Soap of the Month

Stella Marie has chosen to recognize all of the brave and honorable women who fought for equal rights - the grandmothers of feminism - with May's Soap of the Month, Suffragist.

She is a lemon verbena delight with the gentle exfoliation of crushed sunflower seeds. The Suffragists adopted the sunflower as a symbol of their powerful movement.
