What it took to start my own business.

And when my daughter turned three and I had my second kid, there was no good barretes out there. >> And I said, "Okay, I can make barretes. I'm I'm a crafty mama. I teach nursery school. I know how to use a hot glue gun." We had to go to a wedding in Washington. I remember stopping at every single Michaels along the way to pick up supplies cuz we didn't have wholesale distribution then. It was like [music] we would buy whatever was in stock and make bread. My husband was in real estate. He ended up leaving real estate and coming into the business. Now he runs the entire low-end division. So he sells to TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Burlington, Ross. He does mass market. I do high-end and specialty stores. And now we have this global company that's called Danar Global. People ask if it's the same thing. His is more [music] mass-produced. Mine is more Sarski crystals. We have a license with them and [music] more raw materials coming in from overseas. And then we hand make them on the upper west
