The Tip is 'Ask manufacturers' Some times I have run across an advertisement that implied a product was Made in USA but the product did not have the Made in USA label. Before I buy or put the product on my Made in USA list, I email the manufacturer and ask if their product is Made in USA. If they say yes I ask why their product is not labeled that way. Seldom will they tell me why but many times they will tell me every component that is Made in the USA and those that are not. I then make my decision about buying their product and put it on my list if they convince me.

Her Paw Paw was a wood worker and bee keeper in Old Fort since the early 1900's. Bev's fondest memories of her childhood are from the hours spent in the shop seeing projects come to life and smelling the fresh cut wood. Bev will tell you, that wood working is in her soul and it is a passion that cannot be trained. A successful mixed media craftsman herself, Bev for many years owned and operated McDowell Counties most successful privately owned art and hand craft gallery, TAAS Gallery until the great recession pummeled the business. Only faith, strong belief and relentless positive thinking have allowed Bev to push her business into it's newest era. Pinwilz Framing is actually a throw-back to it original roots. In 1989 Pinwilz Framing opened up shop in Oliver Springs, TN. Now many years later, the specialty framing name reemerges. Over the past 20 plus years, Bev has been concentrating on many mediums for art and crafts. Her vast knowledge of wood, presentation and attention to detail assures that your project with Pinwilz will be done to your satisfaction. Bev also does commissions and has a thriving little consignment gallery of other local hand crafter's from the area. Many of the artisans are very loyal to the Heldman's and have been with them since first opening TAAS Gallery in 2008. Sons C & C Heldman have both shown interest in the family business and who knows, one day, maybe they will take it to the next level. |
