Now I know I didn't reveal the outcome of the market *yet* but I'm so happy that I made the attempt. How is the fall market season going for y'all.. or are y'all already onto holiday markets?!
Wow, Dani, you’re truly an inspiration! And you took the train from Hamilton back to the East End? I wish I could have been there to lend a helping hand. Keep goin' you have my full support!
haha is it?! that's so sweet ( I secretly wanted a deep raspy voice 🤣) and thank you! honestly I would just say each time to try to improve on the previous set-up & it doesn't have to cost too much!
YAYYYY!! my people!! It's so nice to have you here friend. And I really hope that you make STRIDES and WAVES in swimming class, let us become mermaids by the end of this year 👏🏾👏🏾 Hugs! Dani
For market displays get yourself a Markham library card they have laser cutters and you can make anything your heart desires for cheap but high quality
say less!!! I'm gonna check it out. North York library has a whole fabrication studio (sewing machine, fabric cutter, heat press, embroidery machine) and Albert Campbell library has some of that also. thanks for sharing Dani 💜
ooouuff I know those late nights far too well (as I stare at the clock myself). I hope you've made some solid progress on your project. Sending you heaps of good energy, I hope you're building the business of your dreams 💜
LOL I still don't know how to swim and I am 35!!! I absolutely love your locs. You just reminded me that I need to wash mine. Also, so freaking happy I found another mom that is trying to run a small business. I have been struggling to find relatable content lately!!! Happy belated birthdaaaaaay!
lol Christy we can do this together! Say it with me, "2026 is the year that we - over 35 year old Black moms and artists and small biz owners - will master swimming!" Ummm I watch your content too, yay I love finding ppl to connect with!! let me go binge some right now ;)
thank you!! it's honestly quite easy. just listen to the tutorial the whole way through the first time so that you're completely clear on the steps. best of luck if you try it!
@@zodiacgoodes it did right?! the only thing I forgot to do was add the piece of white tape to finish it all off but otherwise such a great alternative! The tutorial is here: th-cam.com/video/-gaZd4gFx-U/w-d-xo.html
Your display turn out great! Love your energy, your products are so cute and you have a beautiful smile, keep moving forward, GOD Bless you and your little ones☺
ooh best of luck with markets next year!! i hope they go well. I have some family in the UK, would love to vend there just to see what the vibe is like
@@danitriesating you should try and communicate with the primary schools in the UK. They are all trying to be more green and sustainable. I think your paper dolls would be well received.
I applaud your eagerness to learn! That's the first part. Are you already taking classes? If not, shop around your community, if possible get some feedback from ppl that have taken the class to find a good instructor. Be patient with yourself as it will awaken muscles since it's a full body exercise. And finally, have FUN! you've got this friend!
yes, totally! I'm sometimes hung up on being redundant but again there are constantly new ppl being introduced to my content. My name is Dani and i'm the founder + creative behind sophupshop, a stationery + novelty gift shop filled with whimsical goods that are rooted in Caribbean culture. Peep my website www.sophupshop.com to take a look around. I've also got just the video for you ( an intro video about how it all came to be)
@@thetruthandnothingbutthetr6484 I rock my locs proudly, no need to infer otherwise. If I were trying to pander to a specific audience I wouldn’t be rocking them now would I. There’s a time commitment to twisting them every week, which I find exhausting plus I don’t usually twist my locs even on a monthly basis

Your voice is so calming. I love how the display came out!

correction: albert campbell i think it's more of a digital hub space. green screen + audio etc
This video has been so soothing while I was trying to stay awake and unflustered finishing a last minute project for my business.

Why did you make the “eeewugh” sound when you described twisting dreads ? Sounds like you’re trying to pander tons specific audience …weird !
