Printable and Customizable Paper and Party Items by TheArtofJoy
Today I'd like to introduce you to a fun little shop that sells adorable paper products, stickers and other items along the Kawaii theme!
"Kawaii" is an adjective in Japanese meaning cute or pretty. Recently it has become commonly used by anime and manga fans to describe Japanese style items of all around total cuteness.
TheArtofJoy on Etsy has taken this Kawaii theme and ran with it with a wide variety of paper products depicting adorable little figures, dolls and pictures incorporated into their work.
The shop is filled with calendars, invitations, party stickers, and other customizable and printable paper designs.
As a school teacher, part-time librarian and busy mom the artisan behind this wonderful shop has a full schedule but loves to create these wonderful and talented items in her spare time as well. Her little shop is complimented by a terrific blog, the Creative Mamma blog, where she not only provides interesting reading material but you can also find free printables you can download!
YOU CAN CLICK ON THE PICTURE ABOVE TO VISIT THEARTOFJOY ON ETSY AND TAKE A LOOK AROUND OR, IF YOU PREFER, YOU CAN CLICK RIGHT HERE.
You can also visit the artist behind the work by stopping by and saying "hi" on Twitter!

Beaded Jewelry by a Busy Mom - BeaderBubbe
Today's shop is ran by Agnes, a mother of five and grandmother of six who lives in Brooklyn, NY and is a member of the BESTeam (Boosting Etsy Shops Team) that I am also a member of on Etsy.
Her shop, BeaderBubbe on Etsy, is filled with tons of little baubles and beautiful jewelry that uses gemstones and other beads to create splashes of color for your wardrobe.
Agnes is always busy with work and family and many of her jewelry pieces never make it to her shop because co-workers and family have a habit of snapping them up as soon as they're done!
BeaderBubbe is filled with both classic pieces and others that are a splash of color and unique in design and the combination works! I'm particularly fond of the necklace that's pictured here in this post as well as a butterfly necklace you won't be able to miss when you stop by to check out Agnes' shop.
YOU CAN CLICK ON THE PICTURE ABOVE TO VISIT BEADERBUBBE ON ETSY AND TAKE A LOOK AROUND OR, IF YOU PREFER, YOU CAN CLICK RIGHT HERE.
You can also visit Agnes on her blog (you can shop and purchase from there too, in fact!) or stop by and say hi on Facebook!
[This blog post is a "BESTeam Feature" for the Boosting Etsy Shops Team. The BESTeam is dedicated to helping its members promote their shops and assisting each other in marketing, advertising and sharing the tips and tricks of running an online business. If you are a seller on Etsy and are interested in becoming a member of the BESTeam, the team is accepting new members and you can find more information about the team as well as apply to become a member HERE.]
