Sisters has been pampering bodies one at a time since 1999!  Sisters Making Scents became a vision one very dreary January day in 1999, while I was visiting my big Sister Joey.  At the time she lived in a small town on the "Sunshine coast"  What I was looking at out her window was not a beautiful sunshine coast but a raging Sea. While we were hanging out, Joey had come across an ad in a magazine about a "Spa in a box." She pointed to the ad and said, "Phyllis, you make soap and stuff with essential oils.  We should do this!"

Working with essential oils has been a passion of mine for many years. At this point I had been making natural soap for about 3-4 years.  My brother-in-law Bob came up with the name and the only thing left to think about was whether these two Sisters were making sense and would their plan make cents!

And so it began, the scheming, planning, creating, fun and hard work that goes into the beginnings of a cottage industry. The biggest challenge in this business was the fact that my sister & I lived in two different towns, two ferries apart, not an easy way to run a business.  We managed between long weekend soap making adventures, burning the midnight oil and racking up our telephone bills. We never did get to work together at any of the same markets, something I have always regretted.

I am now the sole proprietor of Sisters, my big sister has been unable to continue this venture with me due to illness in our family.  Out of love & respect I have kept the name.  I miss you big Sis, especially the times when you ran around looking for your glasses so you could read the scales! Now it's my turn to run around looking for my glasses!

A Sisters Quote; Thank you for hugging me when all the world went wrong. Thank you for reading to me when I had measles. Thank you for blowing my nose when I was very small. Thank you for holding my hand when I was horribly afraid. Thank you for taking care of me. Pam Brown,b.1928
