_{Buzz! Sweet, sticky honey serves as a healthy alternative to sugar in dessert or tea. However, this common, naturally occurring substance can also be turned into a business, as one couple learned. When “[their youngest child] developed a medical condition” the couple was forced to turn to other methods of money making. After receiving preserves as a gift from a relative, the parents realized creating and selling jams and jellies “was something [they] could do.” After finding success with the fruit-based spreads, the two “continued with peanut butter, and then honey too.” Now, they work with local honey company Lip SMAKin’, selling different types of honey and other spreads for customers to enjoy.

_{The candy bazaar, which sold candy for $1 per full size bar when demand was high, sold many different types of candy, such as Reese’s Cups, M&Ms, Kit Kat, Hershey’s and Snickers. However, after the lunch rush, the demand was not high anymore but the supply was still plentiful. This meant they had to reduce the price, first to 50 cents per bar and eventually to 25 cents.

_{Inspired by “Fixer Upper” on HGTV, beginning on Etsy, Paint the Grain Studio is a workshop for Do-It-Yourself home decor. Customers bring family and friends to enjoy food and drinks, while learning how to create artistic decorations for their houses. “It was almost an accidental hobby-to-business. I started traveling for about a year and a half to people’s homes. After that, I turned my garage into a studio and then eight months later I moved into where we are now,” company founder Jasmine said. (Photo/Anya Pinto)}

_{Bullets 4 Life is an organization that collects bullets from inner cities and high crime neighborhoods and turns them into bracelets. As their motto states: “one less bullet on the street equals one less life lost to gun violence.” All proceeds go to families who have been victims of gun violence helping them with burials or even getting them access to therapy.

However, it was only recently that one business took matters into their own hands and decided to spice up the traditional woven basket.

With materials from Brazil, Mexico, Asia, and Africa, one person brings all corners of the globe together.
