One of Kimmy’s many nicknames growing up was Kim-bee. Whether she was influenced by the nickname, I know not, but throughout our childhood she had an equal love of bee designs and patterns. She was not so much enamoured of living bees, although she wasn’t deathly afraid of them like our baby brother (who to this day, at 6’3″, 250lbs will run screaming in a high pitched wail whenever a bee is in sight). Regardless, Kimmy had an extensive array of bee-themed paraphernalia growing up, from accessories to stationery to clothing. It will come as no surprise then that when she saw this Sweet Honeybees hand painted scarf by Joy in My Studio she was buzzing with interest.
Given that we both share a deep love of scarves, especially since living in Southern California where our standard ensemble was a pair of jeans, flip flops, a white Hanes tee and a standout neck scarf, we are always on the hunt for beautiful scarves to add to our collections. Joy in My Studio certainly delivers. Plus, the shop is brilliantly sorted by color so you can find just the shade of scarf your seeking for your wardrobe.
ENVIABLE PERK: Vibrant, hand-painted silk scarves, neckties, and paintings inspired by nature and imagination.
BEE-utiful scarves, indeed.
GIVEAWAY ALERT: Joy in My Studio is giving away a Beehive Honeycomb scarf, a unique, 8″x54″ flat crepe silk scarf, hand printed with a custom-carved honeycomb stamp – perfect for summer! To enter, comment on this post and tell us something sweet, like honey. For instance, we just think that each of you is positively fabulous and has an equally fabulous sense of style. You’re here visiting this site, afterall

This week on MB is so exciting – so many SOWA finds!! I got my mom one of Joanna’s scarves for Mother’s Day and she positively loved it. Clearly I will be back for more. As beautiful as they look on screen, I can promise they are even more amazing in person. So yes…something sweet….Today starts the 50th Reunion at my job and I find nothing sweeter than watching classmates embrace for the first time in as little as 5 years and for some up to 50 years. It’s amazing to watch true friendship wash back over these alums as they return to campus, see how it’s changed and remained the same and to experience it with their best of friends from decades ago!
Oh wow, these are beautiful.
My baby brother! Ok, now he’s six feet and good at hockey. But still sugar-sweet.
My 2.5 year old pitbull, Lola is super sweet, especially when trying to snuggle up to my hairless cat Sally (who wants nothing to do with Lola).
I was lucky enough to get to marry my high school sweetheart, who is about as sweet a human as is possible!

Your generosity is very sweet. It’s amazing the amount of giveaways that you guys have pulled-off. I’m always excited to see who you’re featuring and what you’re giving away.
I think that giveaways are as sweet as honey. The giveaway, in fact, is what connected me to your site through my own contest for a Spirithood ending this Wednesday. My public follower posted an entry today about this beautiful scarf which sent me happily clicking. Lovely pieces. Very creative, indeed. Love & brother/sisterhood in the form of the written word, giveaway benevolence & six sweet degrees of separation.. the 21st century is so amazing. best of luck in your business ventures.
Me, think the sweetest things is chocolate lava cake
Much Thankies for the chance dear

Something sweet, like honey is getting into your dream college after working so hard and never ever failing to believe in myself. More than proving it to someone, I proved it to myself.
That’s sweeter than honey, I think.
Something sweet…following Jesus, making new friends
, Getting hugs from my boys, seeing my hubby when he gets home, water after a long run 
and oh yeah, Milky ways….yum!
I love to put pennies on the ground, face-up, so someone else can have good luck.

One of my daughter’s friends is moving to another state at the end of the school year. In her honor, my girl wrote a piano piece for her and performed it at her recent piano recital. Who knew junior highers could be so sweet?
My kids have such sweet natures-really good hearted kids.
Joanna is so awesome! Her scarves are even more beautiful in person than they are in pictures (how is that even possible? they are so pretty!) I interviewed her on my blog if anyone want to learn more about her: http://craftymoira.blogspot.com/2011/04/artist-interview-joanna-read-cotter.html
