There are just so many gorgeous handmade shops out there that I want to start sharing some of my favorites with you. Those shops that catch my eye, make me happy, bring a smile to my face.
Simply, shops that I adore.
***
It isn't a secret around my house that I adore this shop! I have been hinting to my husband that I'd really love this in my favorite bible verse, Proverbs 3:5.
Anna's shop is truly filled with joy. The colors, beautiful pictures, and just gorgeous items, you can tell they are made with love and joy.
Interview with Anna:
What is the story behind your shop name?
For the Love of Joy is inspired by how I live my life. Every day I try to find joy in the mundane and routine. I like to bring joy to others by helping out or just having a conversation and asking about their day. I like to bring joy into my home with things that make me and my family smile. I guess I would have to say I am a joyful person. And my middle name is also Joy!
What inspires you to create?
I hate to sound cliche but there is no other reason why I create but for God. Everything I make I hope to bring Him honor and glory. It is because of God that I am able to create. I find inspiration from the Creator all the time. I know that this is His purpose for my life and I feel blessed beyond belief to fulfill it.
What can be found in your shop?
Right now I have coffee sleeves, mug rugs, camera straps, quilted boppy pillow covers, name pillows, scripture or quote pillows, and other fun pillows! There will be a couple of new products and designs in the shop soon as well.
What is one word to describe your work?
Ummm...joyful!
I don't think you're cliche at all, Anna. I too create to give God glory and am so inspired by your joyful spirit!
Oh, I love this! The lovely colors, cheerful photos...off to check out the shop now! :)
