Note from shop owner Greetings! I had very high hopes for reopening my Etsy shop this holiday season but due to my new responsibilities as president of the Coventry Winter Farmers and the volume of events and local retail commitments, I simply am unable to list on here. I am, however, planning on posting weekly group photos of what I have in stock on Facebook (search for www.facebook.com/JohaDesigns) and clients are welcome to comment on pics to reserve a pair. I accept PayPal, Venmo, check and money order with Facebook/Instagram invoices. If you do not use Facebook, email me at johadesigns [!at] yahoo.com and I can work with you through there.

Thank you to everyone who supports me and is being patient with me as I take on these exciting new challenges on top of growing a very demanding but joy-filled business.

The earrings I received are beautiful. They are unique and knowing they are one of a kind hand creations just raises The bar! JoHa was a pleasure to deal with and I highly recommend her if you are looking for something different and pretty!

I got this pendant for myself, and I am very pleased. I was given my choice of chain length, and it was made just for me. I also purchased four seed garden pendants. I sent a DM through Instagram asking about colors available and got a prompt helpful reply. These pendants will be Easter gifts for my granddaughters. The pendants arrived promptly, all in gift boxes!! So thorough, and thoughtful. All the pendants look very well made, and are a great bargain. In all, a very pleasant experience.

The Evolution of JoHa Designs

Growing up, I reluctantly acquired the nickname JoHa from my closest relatives. My initial embarrassment towards this silly name eventually turned into an artistic opportunity as I found "JoHa" was a great way to sign my artwork in college. However, it wasn't until I began to suffer from severe depression in 2010 that this name would come to symbolize the vital bridge between my artistic vision and the support from my family and friends. So many family members and friends have helped me, both financially and emotionally, throughout my life and they continue to support me in every endeavor. And I'm happy to say that through lots of love, therapy (both craft and clinical), and growth, I am moving forward on this creative journey- one step at a time.

Every item sold from JoHa Designs is hand-made and held up to a very high standard. I take pride in my craftsmanship and work hard to create high quality items for reasonable prices.

JoHa Designs also believes in staying as "green" as possible. All of my ornaments and paper beads are made from upcycled materials (old books, calendars, etc.) and my jewelry boxes and gift/note cards are made from 100% recycled paper.
