It’s a scarf. It’s a stole. It’s a wall hanging! What is it?
Truth is, these first radiant creations with positive messages and lots of uses have been a big challenge to name. I’m stumped. So I’ve decided for now to name the company instead – Joy on Your Shoulders ™.
And you’re more than welcome to call them whatever you’d like. I’ll know what you’re talking about.
Radiant creations are handmade in western North Carolina one at a time by seamstresses who add lots of love and joy into each one. Wear one over your shoulders. You’ll be sure to attract lots of oohs and ahs, and “That’s unique! Where did you get its?”
Give one to your best friend; she’ll love it, and you even more. Drape one over Grandma with a kiss, Shine your sweet self. Hang one on your wall as a daily reminder. Lay one on your altar.
Our creations love to be anywhere (other than hanging out as stock without any loving).
Heck, we’d be more than glad to see them tied around trees and lamp posts all across the land. We even have a plan to tie some out and about in Brevard, NC under cover of darkness…a surprise give away to kick off a Joy Movement.
Can you see it?
Dawn enters…ah…the avian symphony…a breeze to get me moving again…do I ever look RADIANT….I imagine quite joyous…and I am….woo hoo!…I have the task of being a flag for joy as a gift to the world….and whoever finds me can put me on, pass me to their neighbor, or let me continue to hang here for all to see….joy on the fly. Sure hope whoever sees me, flashes a wide smile…then reads the tag about the Joy Movement.
Want to take part? Tie some in your town? Start a circle to dream up other ways to spread joy? Write in…we’d love to hear from you!

Wow.
These radiant creations have blessed people, shoulders and more for years…how wonderful!
Along the way, so much has happened.
For one thing, a new man entered my world in 2018, and his creative ideas are awesome, leading to
this: we now offer wooden/chain hangars for these treasures, so that you can hang it up when you’re not wearing it.
We also offer shorter versions to hang up!
Earlier, adorable bags (S.A.C.S. – Simply Adorable Catch-all Sacs) were birthed, along with Portable Joy and bookmarks.
There’s a whole line of Joy on Your Shoulders Batik cotton gifts with positive words these days, along with the inspiring,
award-winning books that wrote themselves through my heart and hands.
Lots of joy for you and your friends!
Created through lil’ ol me to share goodness in the world.
Sweet.
Plus…I’ve long served clients as their spiritual mentor, giving dear souls gifts for their evolution while offering me delight to share deep peace, wisdom, love and joy that enliven my being.

Hi (AGAIN) Joy,
I just finished reading the article “What Do We Call These Batik Sweeties” and I had an idea…
You have probably heard about the tragic event which happened in Chardon, OH recently.
Every time I drive though town, I wonder whether the red ribbons tied everywhere are still doing
good. Are they helping the town to heal, or are they just a painful reminder of the whole thing?
If something like one of your “sweeties” were out there, the message would be clearer, I think.
Maybe the simple messages like “Peace” and “Love” would help. Maybe a little humor like
“Chocolate always helps” would bring a smile. I personally think that those creations are MUCH
too beautiful to leave out in the weather, but, hey, it WAS your idea. What do you think?
Sincerely,
Laura Reed
Greetings Laura,
Thank you so much for your comment.
My loving heart sends compassion to Chardon
and so many places.
What a lovely idea!
Radiant creations can be purchase wholesale
if you’d like to tie some there.
Personally, my company gives away more in inventory than may be
wise, and we mailed a large check last week to
buoy someone needing some good news and
a little joy on their shoulders.
Blessings,
Joy
