soap is beautiful

Gorgeous and crafty! I love the simplicity of these packs and the soaps. The baby shower soaps are adorable. Go see more at Herbivore Botanicals.

Handmade shea butter soaps by the Soap & Paper Factory.
“We created this line to combine all natural, beautifully scented, handmade products wrapped in exquisite, earth friendly packages. Each pattern and fragrance are created together. Each fragrance is designed to stimulate the mind, body and spirit. Each pattern starts as a hand drawing often inspired by nature and finished with a modern flair.”

I have fallen off the blogging boat! But I shall return. So now for your viewing pleasure, check out this video of a bar of Ivory soap being nuked and turning into a monster pile of white fluff. Apparently this only works with a fresh bar of Ivory because it has airpockets!

Lovely rustic looking soap and packaging by Padua Farms, sold at Heirloom on etsy.

I love the simplicity of the design of these soaps. Not too bright, not too many colors, just right! They are gorgeous. I only wish I had bigger pictures of them. Vice & Velvet from Australia

Savor has some amazing melt and pour soaps and it seems now that they are making cold process soaps and doing that amazingly as well. The coconut mochi soap shown below is actually the very first soap I ever purchased from etsy! I remember how amazed I was by Savor’s soaps!

I posted a photo from Pieno Vonios when I first started this blog and wasn’t super organized about naming my posts. I’m so glad I found them again! I originally found the soap photo from the blog, but tonight I found these beautiful photos on Pieno Vonios’ Flickr. I can’t seem to find an online shop, so if anyone knows of the shop please let me know so I can link back to it. So for now I will link to the blog and flickr. Enjoy! From Lithuania.

Check out these swirls! Beautiful. Kushmoma soaps from England.

I am sold on this Pumpkin Pie soap from Long Leaf Soap. How beautiful are these photos? I love the detail of the stamped leaf border.

I love the simple patterns of this soap packaging from West Elm designed by Colene Blanchet. Check out Colene’s website for more wonderful work.
