The Tip is 'Manufacturer's sites' I recently ran out of my favorite pancake syrup. I loved the brand we had been using but when I went to the grocery store, I couldn't find it. The syrup was made in Indiana and I was living in Florida at the time. I tried unsuccessfully to find it on an internet. The manufacturer is small and their products are not readily available so I thought I would try their website. They did, in fact, have their own internet store so I ordered it directly from them. Now, I always buy their made in USA maple syrup from their website and never run out. Made in America Secrets has thousands of made in USA products offered by hundreds of small manufacturers. These small Made in America companies are a large contributor to our economy. In fact, according to the 2008 US Census Bureau small businesses, those employing 1 to 99 employees comprise 98% of all the USA businesses. This is equivalent to 5.8 million businesses that employee over 40 million people. Most American's are unaware of how significant small business is when compared to the total size of the US economy. This website is aware of it and that is why 99% of the businesses that advertise on Made in America Secrets are small businesses. Use this web site to for a list of products made in the US- especially since it is likely that a small US manufacturer employs someone you know- your husband, wife, children, or grandchildren. When using Google to search for Made in America products often times these small made in the United States businesses never show up on page one- and most folks don't look past page one. What does this mean? The consumer has a difficult time locating that US made product. Made in America Secrets was conceived to provide a solution to that problem. As an example search for motorcycles Made in America using Google and you will likely miss many of the companies that make this country great. Use Made in America Secrets for the search and you will likely find a hidden jewel. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Nicole Paloma Expressing yourself and feeling beautiful is the true drive behind style, and knowing that and incorporating it into his or her art is the mark of a true fashion designer. Nicole Paloma Rockhill has been using her artistic talents to create things from the time she was old enough to use a pair of scissors, but she never thought she would spend her life creating clothes until she bought her first sewing machine in 2007. Her journey began in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, as she started making things for her daughters, Laurel and Laine, and her girls' line eventually evolved into a women's collection. Since then, Nicole has been working tirelessly to create unique, comfortable, and stylish handmade pieces that reflect her fearless and unique personality while complementing the coastal environment in which they are created. Soft whites, sandy colors, and heather greys that emanate the beauty of nature have become the staple palette of her collections, creating a dreamscape in floaty, soft fabrics such as cotton, silk, and . Nicole's first retail store, located in the creative community of Grayton Beach, brings together coastal charm and ethereal beauty with driftwood hanging from the ceiling and the jewelry of Adorn by Samouce complementing the clothing in an eclectically chic mix of flirty and rock ?n' roll. Preferring to keep her creations special by making them by hand and adhering to a made-in-the-USA standard, Nicole's creations range from casual resort wear to one-of-a-kind couture pieces. The first Nicole Paloma couture collection debuted in 2013 at South Walton Fashion Week, and quickly became a crowd favorite of the entire weekend. Rather than following what's trendy, her designs stem from her own personal style and from listening to the customers in her Grayton Beach store. By surrounding herself with positive and creative influences, Nicole strives to hone her skills as a designer while writing a story with each piece she creates. Her clothing should speak to others in the sense that they imagine where they might wear the silk charmeuse Lion Skirt or breezy Turks pants. The community has embraced her dreamlike designs wholeheartedly, and Nicole Paloma is planning to branch into new markets and open new retail locations in the future. Armed with her dreams, creativity, and a mind for business, Nicole continues to make sustainable, flattering styles that women feel beautiful in, and will go on pushing the boundaries of handmade designs for everyone.
