Happiness is something we often chase—a goal on the horizon, tied to big achievements or life-changing events. But joy? Joy is different. It often lives in the details. It’s in the colors that energize us, the images that inspire us, textures that comfort us, and the small luxuries that bring a sense of calm amidst the busyness of life. 

Joy can be tied to memorable experiences—a vacation by the ocean, a favorite meal shared with loved ones, or a walk through a city street alive with inspiration. But it can also be found in the simplest of things: the vibrant hues of a favorite mug, a whimsical design that sparks a smile, or the feel of a cozy textile on a chilly morning. These small, everyday moments of connection remind us of the deeper joys that shape our lives—experiences, relationships, and the activities we love. 

As Ingrid Fetell Lee, author of Joyful: The Surprising Power of Ordinary Things to Create Extraordinary Happiness, says, “Joy hides in the small things.” She explains how intentional design—from playful patterns to bright, uplifting colors—can spark joy and transform how we feel in a space or a moment. This idea resonates deeply with the heart of KenmoreRd. 

Every product I create—whether it’s a fun sticker that brings a smile, a beautiful coffee cup that turns a daily tea break into a treat, or a vintage travel-inspired print that stirs wanderlust—is designed to spark those small moments of joy. It’s about creat joyful finds, about offering something unique that connects with you on a personal level and makes your day just a little brighter. 

I am working to always make time to discover the small joys in life. Maybe it’s a piece of artwork that makes your heart skip, a cozy corner in your home, or the colors of a sunrise that energizes your day. Whatever it is, those moments are worth savoring. 

If you’re looking for something to add a little more joy to your world, I’d love for you to explore what KenmoreRd has to offer. And as always, I’d love to hear from you—what brings you joy?
