First Markets of 2024! // Market Prep, Benson Boone Concert, TWO markets, + MORE

Don’t stop markets don’t loose that inspiration digital is cool and profitable but not the same as meeting the community and connecting in person. Keep growing and best wishes! Thanks for sharing great content

low key just realised it's not cherry but cheery when you mentioned it 😅 ps. you should take the Halloween coasters to your market! some of us love being spooky year around 😂

I've significantly reduced the number of markets I'm doing this year, as I have other ways/ streams that I can sell my products through that make more money which are easier and quicker, so giving me more time to spend with my partner and dog, so giving me/us a better work life balance. Markets will always be there (finger crossed), if you need to go back to them, work less, make more money and ENJOY life ❤

It was so nice to meet you!!! Thank you for the 1-hour video as well. I always enjoy the long videos as I watch them while market-prepping! My next one is coming up soon. :)

You might look into Velcro zip ties.They're reusable

baskets for the candles. those foldable baskets would be cute.

Do you ever have issues with people stealing stuff? I’d worry about that with the keychains there on the end.

glad you enjoyed the concert! I was trying to figure out who they were and then eventually beautiful things came on 😂

I love your new pegboards. Only suggestion is to paint the backs of them white so when you see them thru the stand you dont see the brown sides,😊

I love your vlogs, you are so inspirational, full of energy and unbelievably resilient. I can understand the conflict you have over tik tok and markets, the energy put into both for complete different outcomes. Markets are hard work and deflating if the sales aren't there. Just do what feels right for now as that's all we have ❤❤ xx

I’ve had some awesome markets and some clunkers. Those are the ones that keep you humble. Stay on the grind is my advice. ❤😊

That laser cutter is so cool. Keep a fire extinguisher close by

I love your vlog

My daughter went to the Benson Boone concert last night in Raleigh, NC. She said is was a great concert.

I think markets are good just for local reach. You never know what connections you could make. But I also say ride that TikTok wave because you will just continue to grow your online presence as well. I have my first market in a LONG time this weekend and the work I’ve put into it so far, I doubt I’m getting back out of it lol

I swear by dip manicures, my nails have never been stronger. They still break sometimes but I'm just rough on them.

Great video. I always enjoy your videos. I notice at the last market the dogs were dress so cute. A thought have you ever thought of putting sunglasses on your dog or cat keychains as summer limited edition. Just an idea but I know that y'all are super busy. Keep up the good work.

lol Donut, typical cat

I understand the dilemma, Ive been seeing your success on TikTok which is amazing! But I will say community wise and repeats happen more from markets, at lest in my business. I am waiting to get that Live break still on TikTok but I have noticed people who have ordered from me from a market have come back to order from me again and again and really love talking about my business to others because of the experience they had with me. So markets I still find valuable for brand. But I do agree you have to just figure out which ones are worth it from a brand and money perspective. Also I would actually maybe try moving the kits to be by the coasters since they are similar products? It is a higher priced item and someone who is interested in the coaster may see that and be like "woah cool!" and buy that instead or get both! Just a thought though. Glad to see Donut is feeling better.

Do you announce where your fairs are? I'd love to go to one! I'm in MA. Would love to attend a class too...I'm not doing too well with my kit!🤣🤣🤣🤣
