Shop Small: Happy Go Lovely Book Sleeves

Wow, wow, wow. I am TIRED people, but you know what really inspires me? Seeing small businesses navigate 2020 and keep creating. One of my favorite small shops that has ridden the wave of 2020 with such grace is Happy Go Lovely Sleeves, run by my friend Rachel. While Rachel became my friend, my relationship with her began like everyone else: as a customer.

Before I gush about Rachel the person, let’s take a moment for the product. What in the heck is a book sleeve? Only the greastest invention.

Basically, it’s a koozie for your book! If you find yourself throwing a book in your bag and don’t want it to get ruined, a book sleeve is the PERFECT thing. They make such fun gifts and are also perfect for bullet journaling supplies.

They come in three sizes: Maxi, Midi, Mini

The Maxi is perfect for hardcovers and the Midi is great for trade paperbacks. I love the mini for my Ipad mini but an E-Reader like a Kindle fits s well!

Rachel restocks her shop often and always has such fun prints. Besides that, the quality of her craftsmanship is impeccable. I have had a lot of products arrive from Etsy before and Happy Go Lovely Sleeves are the very best.

Beyond the product, the best part of shopping small is that you really get to know the person you are buying from and supporting. Here’s what Rachel has to say about her business, “I know launching HappyGoLovelySleeves changed my life. I learned to navigate my mental illness and chronic illness while supporting my family from the comfort of my home. I have Bookstagram and book lovers to thank for making my dream come true.”
