The Tip is 'Teach Grandchildren' One day, while I was on the Made In America Secrets site my granddaughter noticed and asked me what I was doing. I told her about the Big Secret and as I explained, she began to ask me more questions. After several minutes she left my office to play with her little sister. Months had gone by and until recently, I had forgotten about that moment. She was visiting again and I was talking to her about buying a custom printed T-Shirt. She immediately told me about a website that I could use to buy one. Wow I thought, she is only eight years old and already teaching me. The most amazing thing then happened, she said "Pops they sell Made In America T-Shirts". Thanks to her I purchased six custom Made In USA T-Shirts. Her name is Britton, she understands the Big Secret and I love it when she tells me her Little Secrets! Now she is ten and writing a screenplay called Mertastic. It is a story about a mermaid. Recently, she was visiting our house again and using my computer. She called me to come into my office and of course I came to her because that is what grandparents love to do. One of the reasons I love to be with her is because it is always interesting to see what she is up to. This time, she needed a mermaid tail for her movie, so we began to look around using Google. Her mother is a talented seamstress and will make the tail so we were looking for fabric that would be satisfy my granddaughter's vision of her mermaid tail. Once again we began to talk about Made in America and therefore started to investigate the country of origin of the fabrics she was considering. Because of that experience Made in USA fabric is now one of Made in America Secrets products. Thank you, Britton. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Picture Frames dot Com We've been family-owned since the beginning. Artists, Steve & Joan Feinsod, founded Graphik Dimensions Ltd. (GD), in 1965, to bring affordable, fine art quality framing to the creative community they knew and loved. Always the innovators, they were the first to launch a business like this, direct to fellow Artists & Photographers, and later became the first to take it online, and the first to offer the uber-interactive virtual frame shop (our Personal Frame Shop). We thank you for letting us serve you ? and for inspiring us with your creations. ARTISTIC ROOTSWONDER YEARSAGE OF EXPLORATIONDIGITAL AGENEXT GENERATIONTODAY True DIYers, our Founders (and childhood sweethearts!), Joan & Steve Feinsod began making frames to complement their own art for sale at shows. Overflow made its way to friends & colleagues in their artistic community. Soon, there was heavy demand for their framing and they found themselves spending more and more time filling picture frame orders than creating art. Thus was the beginning of Graphik Dimensions Ltd. ? founded with love in the den of their Queens, NY home in 1965. Fun Facts: Joan's media of choice ? Mixed Media, Pen & Ink, Oil Paint, Acrylic Paint, Pencil, Scratchboard, Markers (and almost anything else within arm's length!) Steve's media of choice ? Acrylic Paint, Serigraphs, Photography Each year during the holidays, greeting cards handmade by Joan & Steve would cover every available surface in their home, so the paint could dry. To this day, their daughters Lauri & Robyn can still close their eyes and smell the turpentine! |
