any SMALL BUSINESS owners here??
🕑 Added 2024-09-23 14:59:34 +0000 UTChi, yes, helloooooo.
We all know in November there is Black Friday and Small Business Saturday.
If you have a small business yourself, or one that you support personally that you think I should check out - drop their website/Facebook/Etsy/ways to shop down below in the comments on this post.
I'd love to shop your business for Shop Small Saturday! This video idea would go up in Mid-November. I can't guarantee that my video will boost your sales, I also can't guarantee that (depending on how many comment) that I'll be able to shop them all.
I'd love to support the wonderful people who also help support me. 🤠

This is not only very sweet of you but also very cool 😎. I like to support small businesses too, whenever I financially can. 🩵🫶🏾 I personally don’t own or have a small business but I’ve shopped through my share hehe 😜. I have several small shops I can recommend, some are Disney centric/themed and some are not. I’ll just list a few of my favorites below but they’re all fantastic 🫶🏾. Non-Disney related: 1) Willow & Jade Healing - @ https://linktr.ee/willowandjadehealing?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=fee2d2ff-490b-491e-be16-4b057e801791 - she’s local to me in South Carolina, and generally goes live on TikTok every Saturday night. She sells beautiful natural stone and crystal gem jewelry. As well as metaphysical (like candles, crystal towers, incense, etc) items. 2) Basically Wicked - @ https://www.basicallywicked.com/ - She makes all natural soy products (candles, car fresheners, etc) Disney related: 1) Magic Castle Co. - @ https://linktr.ee/Adriennetrail - She makes the most detailed and beautiful floral and fabric couture Disney “ears”. She tries to hold sales every Saturday night, and it’s just her doing everything so they’re small quantities and sell out fast 💨 but they’re absolutely worth any wait because they’re the prettiest mickey ears you could wear. (Yes I’m definitely biased in her favor but it’s still true lol 😂). She’s an absolute gem of a seller and person and I’ll support her whenever I can. 2) Glitter Chic - @ https://linktr.ee/theglitterchicc - she makes beautiful tumblers and mugs, both Disney related and non-Disney related. She tries to hold as many sales as she can but it’s just her doing everything as well. 🫶🏾🙂 3) MAK Kreations - @ https://linktr.ee/mak_kreations. - She does yarn made cup cozies, lid covers, etc. Some are Disney related and some are not. They’re awesome and fun designs. 🙂 All of these sellers can be found on all the social media outlets: Facebook, Instagram, websites, TikTok etc. Some have Etsy shops and some don’t. They’re all fantastic and I’ve loved 🥰 everything I’ve ever purchased from all of them. There’s a bunch more that I love but I didn’t want to inundate you with a lot. 😂🙂

Here's a small business more folks should know about. Emily Engel is beloved in the Muppet community. She does very detailed hand made Muppet replicas. Also does custom orders. She's going full time in November so more stuff'll be added to the store. The replicas are on the pricier side but she has less expensive stuff like pillows, vinyl stickers, and Muppet cross-stitches. One of her pinned posted on instagram is of the Electric Mayhem puppeteers receiving their puppet replicas of their characters. https://www.etsy.com/shop/BxFiberArt

Hi, my wife and I own Messy Cat Creations in Downtown Paducah, Kentucky (the city should sound familiar 😁). We just celebrated our one year anniversary in August. The two of us hand make all the art and jewelry we sell and we would be honored if you would check out our store. We are on Facebook, Etsy, and Insta at @messycatcreations and our website is www.messycatcreations.com Thank you so much for the opportunity! Also, we do custom pet portraits in case you are interested 😏

Small nonprofit here (Giving Tuesday is coming up too)! I founded the Museum of Food and Culture (museumoffoodandculture.org) We do lots of cool education for kiddos and learners of all ages. Our programs use food as a bridge between history and present day, across different cultures, and between personal stories.

https://www.studiorktx.com/shop-6 This is my friend's, Rachel Sherrill, business. She makes handmade pottery along with a slew other things. She's in my hometown of Maypearl, TX, about an hour south of Dallas. She even had a big boom of business when Chip and Joanna Gaines reached out to her a few years ago!

https://youtube.com/shorts/WDUNqYXWbMg?si=JnB-garpAngMc7ZU Dianna, popularly known as Physicsgirl on youtube, was a popular youtuber and science communicator on youtube. she got sick with covid and has succumbed to long covid. there is no known cure and very limited research on treatment for this condition. any help and exposure for her would mean a lot to her and her followers and whoever else is suffering with this condition.

lol, not sure how i could walk a dog for you, but i genuinely appreciate this gesture nonetheless -- you're good people
Kristen North
Our record store is solely brick and mortar, no online sales, but I still want to say this is a really nice gesture.

I'm in the process of getting a mech store set up for my ghost hunting channel (that's also being built right now [I'm totally new on all platforms!]). I'll keep you posted. All designs are 100% my creations.

I have a photography website & business. It's never had much traction in the 3 1/2 years I've been running it, but it's really just for fun. I share unedited photos I've taken of Alaska and other places I've been to. I'd be happy to check out other small businesses! Thank you for doing this! https://www.sprucewoodstudios.com/

I'm a Nature Photographer mostly, but I'm also a digital designer, a Citizen Scientist and I'm an Activist for the residents, trees, and wildlife in my community...hence my YouTube channel, which shows documentation of everything we are going through. Five of my photographs are hanging up in the Doubletree Hilton Hotel in Myrtle Beach, SC. My nature photography is on the website Redbubble. You'll find them as prints, canvas, t-shirts, dresses, shower curtains, blankets, pillows, cellphone cases, and more. There are still a few of my designs here, that I haven't moved over to the other store as of yet. https://www.redbubble.com/people/DAWNESROMEO/shop?asc=u A lot of the designs I've made are from my actual nature photos, and I've "changed" them, but I do make my own designs as well. These designs look amazing on the A-line dresses that Redbubble has. https://www.redbubble.com/people/WhatISeebyDawne/shop?asc=u I also have my photography and designs on Society6 where you can find them on curtains, furniture, wall murals, and more. https://society6.com/whatiseebydawne/designs If you'd like to help nature and wildlife like I do, you could send a donation to the South Carolina Coastal Conservation League. https://coastalconservationleague.org/ Thank you Ashleigh, with all I try to do during the week, your videos give me the time to relax, laugh, or cry when I need my brain to take a break. Thank you for this as well. ~Dawne - Island Green Strong

I know that many have online businesses, but I am in central Florida and if you have a brick and mortar store, let us know and we will come by.

This is such a wonderful idea Little Sis!! I hope you are able to visit my humble little shop over on Etsy where I make dream catchers. (I also have an ebay shop with many different items in addition to dream catchers). https://www.etsy.com/shop/CherokeeDreamDesigns https://www.ebay.com/usr/cherokeedreamsstudio

https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61552483558357&mibextid=ZbWKwL Here's the link to my brothers page on Facebook. Probably easier to just go on Facebook and type in MichaelDavid Designs. I will find out if he has any upcoming events in Tennessee if you are interested.
Bill Bevins
Ashleigh, do you remember when I mentioned my brother Micheal did costuming and wardrobe for independent films and television. He lives in Hendersonville, Tennessee and he and his partner sell hats that he designs and makes. There are other things, too. He mostly sets up a table at swap meets but they do have a Facebook page. It's MichealDavid Designs. Check out his products. If you see something you like I will buy it for you. Just order it and I will have my brother bill me. Just let me know right before you order so I can make the arrangement with him.

I think I responded before, but just in case: bukuvintage.etsy.com is my main spot, but I also have my own website and do live sales on WhatNot. I sell everything from Art Nouveau to 1970s kitsch.

We have a popcorn shop that does gourmet popcorn, all made locally by my wife. We ship anywhere in the USA. https://popspopcornfactory.com/ is our website. I'm sure we could work something out if you want some free popcorn to much on while reacting to movies!
