School of Chocolate

So I know you have had the traditional Mariebelle Hot Chocolate...No? Well lets start here...

MarieBelle™ Aztec Hot Chocolate is made with rich, single-origin Colombian cacao. This smoky, perfectly smooth hot chocolate ...Remarkably, easy to prepare, mix with boiling water to create a full-flavored cup of European-style hot chocolate, or with milk for more traditional American-style hot chocolate. Refrigerate the European version to transform into a dark Creme de Chocolat, perfect alone or in pies.

Now that you have had the best Hot Chocolate EVER lets push the envelope!

Like Tea? Love Chocolate
How about trying some Dark Obsession Chocolate Rose Tea
Black Ceylon tea is deliciously flavored with chocolate extract, and embellished with pink roses. Delightful and sweet.

Too much chocolate, we have a lovely Jasmine tea for you...

Not your cup of tea, you say "I'm more of a coffee person myself"
Got something for you too my dear...

Cafe Copan
MarieBelle introduces a single origin Honduran coffee shade- grown in the highest mountains and impeccably roasted then presented to you in a beautiful red and gold tin. Medium and dark roasted coffee in three delicious blends: MarieBelle Copan Espresso, Copan Regular, and Copan Regular with Chocolate Infusion.

Let me just say it is like dessert and your morning coffee in the same cup..

What? Dessert? Oh we have that covered too.

Not only do we have the traditional Mariebelle Chocolate bars but we now have MarieBelle New York's Biscuits au Chocolate which are delightfully crispy and buttery biscuits that impart a warm chocolaty flavor with each crunchy bite. These confections are perfect an as accompaniment to mid-day tea, or to simply enjoy out of the box.

Need a little more chocolate education? Best way to learn is to eat it! Come and get some today!

This has been happening all week...These little handmade BlaBla stuffed creatures have been going out the door...and it seems they leave in pairs...but who could say no to these charming little faces...ha ha come and see for yourself! $28-$48.00

We have been making gift baskets like CRAZY...this one was sent to a Noble Peace Prize winner...
And I still found time to have fun at home...here are our wall sticker frames...they will not hurt paint, wall paper or hideous wood paneling! Yippie for color. Pink in stock today black and gray will be in later this week... $22.00 set of 8 frames

Did I tell you we now carry really beautiful single sheets of wrapping paper... $4.00Did you miss our trunk show with One Hula Girl...don't panic we will do it again, and if you have a favorite hard to find designer or creator of beautiful, irresistible goodies let me know, I want to do a trunk show once a month...cheers and happy Monday!

Need a little romance

I know we have had some hot summer nights but maybe you need something to turn up the heat somewhere specific. Like the bedroom...

AFTERGLOW Natural Massage Oil Candle With Body Brush Light AFTERGLOW and use it as a candle, then blow it out, dip the Body Brush in the warm oil, and paint it on the skin. When heated, Jimmyjane’s proprietary formulation liquefies into high-slip massage oil that softens and hydrates the skin. Our natural blend of spa-grade ingredients features a precise balance of Jojoba, Shea Butter, Vitamin E, Soy, Aloe and other botanical extracts to offer silky sensation at the perfect temperature.More than a candle, it’s a massage.

So busy thinking of the massage I forgot to tell you how nice they smell!... Cucumber Water, Bourbon, Dark Vanilla, Fig Leaf, Pink Lotus and Black Current. A sassy way to spice up an evening...$26.00 They come in a box with the matches and brush great for a hotel visit!

Spin the bottle for the new couple...
SPIN ME Game of Mischief Remember Spin the Bottle? Well, we thought we would raise the stakes a bit. The game of our youth lacked a bit of variety, so we've added a few plot twists. Some of those twists are G-Rated; others are closer to R or even...
If you bring it to a bridal shower, make the bride open the bottle...it is a great laugh to hear her read them out loud!

Oranges, kiwis and tomatos sure are nice

Hi there...lots of new things arrived this week at Red Pineapple! Look at these super kool cutting boards made of tempered glass...they are unbreakable.

We have had them in rectangular shapes and one pattern in the round shape but they did so well I had to get a few more pattern...$38.00
And more for the kitchen. Check out this colander that folds flat into your drawer. I got it in Pink because...who else has a PINK colander??? $25.00
