Joie Joelle Storenvy Theme Update





Just wanted to update you on my shop at storenvy.  I  am really happy to hear that Storenvy  got a  new theme design going on called Copper. To be honest the current  theme worked for me, it was all right but I wouldnt say its my thing.  I can tell you  now I am loving this  theme more.  For a long time I have wanted all the  categories  on the left side bar like it is now.  This has really  got me motivated since the change!

I also  went with more modern earthen  tone in the background. While I went through different  backgrounds to change it up I realized that  keeping it simple and clean is more  my style.  I thought that triangles in the background were too light at first so I was trying to bring out the triangles out more. It didnt work lol, but thank god  it didnt, I think it would been  too distracting and taking the  the  focus off my store itself.

Anyways, this site is almost perfect, the only thing I wish they  did was add  variation pricing  like my Etsy store  has right now.  I hope they implement it  soon, that would  really help me run things  smoother.   I love the variation pricing and tagging it helps me keep everything  under one item and I think it clears out the confusion here on my items. For now,  because there is no  variation pricing I will just make sure I section off everything  in the  right categories.  Also I will also be updating some of the descriptions of my items it might take a while though as that is alot of items to get through but its worth it.

 I have  learned that no shop is  perfect anyways but I sure try my best to keep my shop fresh  as much as possible. In the mean time I  have been  creating more items and new candles too, so can't wait  to share the news with you  on the new stuff coming up when I get things  sorted out. :)

Shop Feature: Caffeinated Papercuts Gift Pack Giveaway



Purple and Brown Floral Handmade Tile Coasters, Set of 4, Nature, Flower, Green, Red, Rose




This week's shop feature is Caffeinated Papercuts. I love this little shop as I find that Jennifer  is creative with what she has going on in her store. I love the fact that she makes all sorts of things ranging from greeting cards, ornaments, coasters, gift tags ad even gift bags! Just love all the variety that she has going on there. I am a big fan of coasters and I love her elegance in the coaster designs.

1. How did you come up with the Name of your Shop?
Would you believe it actually took me about two weeks to think of something? I wanted something fun, functional, yet still gave a hint as to what I sold. Originally I wanted to call my shop Caffeinated Stationery, but it turns out that Etsy has a character limit and the name was too long! It was my husband who suggested the switch to Caffeinated Papercuts; after all, I drink lots of coffee and cut paper. Usually at the same time.

My First Laser Color Printer



 I am so excited about receiving a brand new laser printer. In fact I never  owned one before. I have always  used a inkjet for so many years that I finally invested in a laser printer because of the fact that I realized that it was no longer cost effective to keep printing at Kinkos. That is why my  labels looks wonderful but at the same time I also thought to myself wow, the time I have go drive up there to print was crazy. Sometimes it was  a drag to get up there  to make a few copies. Usually the reason why new products take longer to come out is because I need a run up to Kinkos to get these labels done right!

Shop Feature: Jets Conceptions

This week's shop feature is Jet's Conceptions. It's a jewelry store that specializes in  glass and metal beads. It seems she blesses the each  jewelry  that she makes for store which is really unique. So each piece of jewelry that you receive from her shop should be full of  positivity.  Here is a bit more on  her shop and her work  :)

1. How did you come up with the Name of your Shop? 

I wanted it to be personal and let people to know a little about me right off the bat. So I took my name and added that it's my creations and abstract ideas for jewelry. A person's name is a very powerful and personal thing to know

2. Tell us a little bit about your shop and what you think makes it unique? 
I use many different mediums in my jewelry. Stones, feathers, bones, anything I can get my hands on. I'm always on the lookout for new things to use. I don't limit myself to one style or medium because what's the fun in that? The world is a very diverse place and I like to think that I could create something for everyone and that's why almost everything that I make is customizable. From religious to macabre, I like to do it all.

1. How did you come up with the Name of your Shop?


Kimberly and I wanted a sensible but down to earth name. We both believe in using what nature has given us. We jotted down some names, but "Nature's All" just kept poking out at us.


Arthritis Ease Tea 

2. Tell us a little bit about your shop and what you think makes it unique?

We make medicines out of herbs. Although we make medicine to help take away the symptoms of an illness, we also make medicine and work with a person to help heal them of the illness. We also have clients that we try out our medicine on before we put it up for sale. A lot of times we try it on ourselves first. We make capsules, teas, tinctures, lotions,butters, soaps, and shampoo. We do this all with good intention. We believe in the vibrations of feelings and emotion, so if one of us is sick or having a bad day, that person won't touch the medicine. Sound weird? Ya, I know, it kind of does. But that is us. We run our business by spirit.

Mini All American Candles Giveaway



This month I have decided to give away a pair of All American Candles. It's my only 3 layer candle right now. The colors of this candle are red, white and blue and since we just had Independence Day I figure I theme this up. The purpose of this candle is to help you feel more positive with your relationship or friendships. If you have been having a rough time with your partner or a close friend with heated arguments or disagreements, this candle should help bring back things into alignment. In other words when lighting this candle both partners will heal from what is hurting them the most which is the white part, as they heal from some of their deeper issues within themselves, they both will be able to find their own inner peace( blue wax). Once they are calmer, they the loving energy can begin to open up again and both partners can connect on a more positive level communicating and being more loving in the most positive way ( red wax) . These may be mini but they are strong ad pack quite a punch. You will receive a romance oil to work your magic anyway you see fit. :)

Give away is for US residents only. Please be sure you fill out all your info for the giveaway, your info is private and confidential as I do not spam or give out your details no anyone. I just want everyone to be aware of it as I do check all details to make sure the requirements are completely before contacting the winner.
