Hi, my name is Elaine and I would like to invite you to my shop called Chocolate Soup. We have 12 rooms filled with home accessories and gifts, some new and others gently used, but all are chosen carefully with our customers in mind.

Each room has been decorated with it's own personality. We hope that what we offer is not just merchandise, but a positive experience when you come to visit ...and when its time to leave that you feel you want to come back. This is what we strive for at Chocolate Soup.

"Friends bring Friends to Chocolate Soup"

Please ...if you are driving our mountain roads, keep and eye out for our four legged furry friends...they don't always take time to look both ways. We look forward to seeing you...

Remember: Our Spring Open House is the first weekend before Easter & Christmas Open House is the first weekend in November.

The Little Red House

For over one hundred years the Little Red House stood as a sentry on the main crossroads of Mariposa. Covered with dense foliage it has watched the changes made by progress through the years. When I moved to Mariposa over 27 years ago, I passed the Little Red house with fascination, wondering what stories it could tell. Often I would have my husband drive slowly past so that I could look into its gardens. As years went by it became harder and harder to see the little red house that I had fallen in love with. By chance (I really don’t think it was by chance), I met the owner and confessed my fascination and love for the Little Red House. He remembered and 2 years later the Little Red House became my dream come true. In 2000 Chocolate Soup celebrated its first Christmas Open house in its new home….The Little Red House.

One-of-a-Kind and Crafted with Care:

Upstairs on the front porch at Chocolate Soup you will enter the room of The Colonial Woodwrights. 90% of what you see in this room is hand crafted in Mariposa by Michael and Robbie Crowley. Established in 1984 the Crowley's have worked with wood to create 1000’s of pieces of quality furniture and accessories made in the tradition of years past. Each piece is crafted by Michael with carefully chosen wood, traditional methods of joinery, and finishing that takes 7 to 12 steps to get the desired look. That’s where Robbie comes in, sanding, painting, hand rubbing to create their hallmark finishes. Their goal is to craft pieces that incorporate traditional styles and design, but are functional in today’s homes. You can also appreciate the fact that The Colonial Woodwrights has always used US grown wood from sustainable forests and certified mills. The water based paints and cotton based lacquer top coats are environmentally friendly; approved by the strictest of EPA standards.

Robbie also crafts fun folk art out of wood. Her latest creations include birds, snails, and mushrooms. Just in time for spring decorating!

So come in and take a look. Each piece of furniture is as unique as you are. One-of-a-kind and crafted with care! And in today’s global market, it’s nice to know you can still have something hand made (in Mariposa, Ca.) at prices that are affordable.

I want to thank you once again for our success. Our Store only exist because of your interest and needs.

Thank you for shopping at Chocolate Soup….
