life as a small business owner // making my own display stand, come with me to a vendor's market

[@danitriesating]

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?!

This video has been so soothing while I was trying to stay awake and unflustered finishing a last minute project for my business.

[@danitriesating]

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 💜

[@zodiacgoodes]

That display stand turned out so well! I need the deets on that!

[@danitriesating]

@@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: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5jEi5dqnKurY7c

[@coriineo]

Awesome job on the stand. I have to try that. What a great idea!

[@danitriesating]

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!

[@hen8110]

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

[@danitriesating]

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!

[@digitalrevolve]

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!

[@danitriesating]

aww you are TOOO sweet! thank you, it means a lot (honestly!!) 🌻💜

[@roxannehoward7333]

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☺

[@danitriesating]

@@roxannehoward7333 you are sooo sweet! Thank you, I am sending lots of good energy your way 💐💜

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

[@danitriesating]

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 💜

[@danitriesating]

correction: albert campbell i think it's more of a digital hub space. green screen + audio etc

[@LoveLocsLiving]

So happy for you. I’m in UK and will be aiming for the markets next year.

[@danitriesating]

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

[@LoveLocsLiving]

@@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.

[@danitriesating]

@@LoveLocsLiving Thank you, I will definitely try!

[@KaliHuntArt]

Great job on stand

[@danitriesating]

@@KaliHuntArt thank you! I was so pleased!

[@DaniAlexandria]

You are a girl on the east end of Toronto also named Dani who runs a small business with a Caribbean background. We are twinning ❤

[@danitriesating]

ayyyyy Dani squared!! it's so lovely meeting you as well, i'm subbing!

[@StylesbyNancy]

New Subbie here!

[@danitriesating]

welcome welcome beauty, glad to have you here 🌻

[@coachcarenfern]

hey hey first time here, can I get swimming info please 60 year old lady that want to learn as I enjoy cruising please and thank you 😊

[@danitriesating]

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!

[@thetruthandnothingbutthetr6484]

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

[@danitriesating]

@@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
