Mariann Smith is the founder, owner and chief bubble maker of Children's Treasures/Just Bubbly. An artist, and a seasoned crafts person with 24 years of wholesale and retail selling experience, Mariann was taught to sew at age 6 by her godmother who was a seamstress. She always had a natural and artistic ability at every type crafting. Children's Treasures/Just Bubbly is a small home based business and her home/studio is where she creates novelty, fun, functional and eco-friendly bath and body products. Mariann began her business because she wanted to be at home with her children while they were growing up. As a single parent, it was the need to provide financially as well as emotionally for both of her children while being home with them as much as possible that led her to start her business. Drawing upon her talent as a sewer and as a crafter Mariann began to make baby gifts for selling to the retail sector at craft fairs. Because her crafts were successful she expanded her line to include consumable goods which would promote return business and brand loyal customers. Born and raised on the shores of Rockaway Beach, New York, Mariann lives in the house where she was raised with her two children and an assortment of pets.
