This cute little Etsy shop is run out of my neck of the woods, the beautiful Whidbey Island. Tabetha, the owner, started making soap just for fun. But when she was joined by her two teen daughters, Emma and Kaylee, the family business was up and running.
The packaging of the soap leaves really stands out. It’s sophisticated and classy. The soap leaves are nice one-time-use soap leaves that look gorgeous in a soap dish or can be taken on a backpacking trip.
I ordered Spring, Winter and Summer Soap Leaves, the Strawberry Bundt Cake, the Whimsical Watermelonand the Herbal Infusion bar soap. Everything was fabulous but the Watermelon Soap and Spring Soap leaves were the fan favorites in the Bramble Berry office. In fact, Holly in Customer Service loved the Watermelon Soap so much that I gave her the bar to take home.Follow Essence Aromatics on Twitter and visit Essence Atomatics on Etsy
The leaves are beautiful – and since they were designed by another soaper (I didn't come up with the idea) – I will leave that idea in the soap vault for now. They are lovely, aren't they? =)
Anne Marie, would love to see a tutorial on how to make those soap leaves. They are beautiful. Would it be possible.
The soapmaking community is amazing – so kind, supportive and willing to share. Thank you everyone for your comments and support.

Wow! What a great story unfolding! I'm so glad I came in late…I get to not only read your great review (it is wonderful packaging) but also that Tabetha is reconsidering closing shop. 🙂 I love a happy twist!
That's awesome! That's why I love indie businesses! Anne Marie, thanks for posting Essence's Soaps, Thanks community for supporting each other and thanks Tabetha for sticking with it!
Anne-Marie – I can't thank you enough for the wonderful write up on my shop. After 2 years of soaping and chandlering from home, I had made the decision a week ago to "Go out of Business".
The amazing response and support I have received from your post has revived my dream and now has me rethinking my decision. For now…the shop will remain open :o) Thank you again everyone!
Sincerely,
Tabetha

Hey friends in the soaping community! Let's all go and order something from them..I did..I ordered the things Ann-Marie ordered. I also encouraged them to stay open! I hope they get bombarded with orders. I offered to blog them, facebook them (which I already did) and so on. I am working on my shop Outrebeautybistro.etsy.com and it has taken me hours upon hours to get close to my grand opening. There shop has only been open since May and only had 8 or 9 sales and many of them are from the last few days. Lets do something good here!!!
What lovely products! They are so talented and it is sad they are closing shop – I hope they use their talents in another venture!
her packaging,and her concept are wonderful. it is obvious she spent alot of time and effort to think on her concept and presentation.
is she really going out of
business? maybe you will help to convince her otherwise.
that makes me so sad.
love the leaves idea….sorry to see they are going out of biz.
They are really lovely items – quite nice in packaging, presentation and performance. =)
Its sad there etsy store says there going out of biz, looks like wonderful items so sorry XOXOXO
