The Japanese sticker swap craze!
I recently heard something really cool from my supplier: sticker swapping is a huge trend in Japan right now. People are swapping stickers everywhere, there are small swapping groups, it's a real cozy mini-community.
You may have noticed things have been a little quieter around Cuteness lately. Behind the scenes, I’ve been working through a change that feels quite big for me – but also really good. ✨
After a few years of running Cuteness full-time, I’ll soon be working part-time again. 💜 This new job came my way during my little autumn break, and I decided to go for it.
It takes some getting used to, but it feels like a kind and conscious step. Over the past few years, I’ve truly enjoyed the freedom of being self-employed – planning my own time, being there (without guilt) when someone at home was sick, and focusing fully on something that’s completely mine. That still feels very special, and I’m proud of it.
At the same time, I started to feel it was time for a bit more balance and structure. A new rhythm where I can keep pouring my creative energy into Cuteness, while also having the security and variety of a part-time job alongside the shop. It feels like the right step for now, and I’m looking forward to finding that gentle balance in the coming months. 🌷
Cuteness isn’t going anywhere! Everything will continue as usual – just with a little more planning behind the scenes. 😊
A few practical notes:
Most importantly, there are still plenty of fun things planned: new goodies, cute plushies, and the cutest stationery that I'll continue to carefully select. 🥰
Thank you for being here – whether you’ve been ordering for years or just stop by every now and then. It truly means a lot that I can keep doing this with the same love and dedication as always. 💜

The past few weeks have been all about change. ✨ In this blog, I’m sharing a little about the new chapter that’s about to begin, what it means for Cuteness, and how I hope to find balance in it all. 💕
