The Tip is 'Ask Before You Buy' I went to a department store for a pair of dress shoes recently. The clerk helped me with three different pairs that I tried on. 'The Big Secret' was on the forefront of my mind so I asked, "Are these shoes imports?" The salesman responded that they were in fact imported. "Do you have any Made In America shoes like these?" I asked. To my surprise he said, "We have a whole line of Made In USA shoes." I was able to purchase the same color and style with the Made In USA label. These Made in America shoes were less expensive, came with a better warranty and were more comfortable. It's amazing how often this simple Made in US question yields unexpected and often times pleasant results. I now ask this question regularly, whereas before I would not have thought to ask for a Made in America alternative. More often than not, I can find a Made in America product of higher quality and at the same, or slightly higher price. Asking the question is so simple and can make a positive impact, in both the short and long term. Try it sometime. If you are like me, you may be surprised with how many Made in US products are out there. You will love it when you realize you are making a difference that benefits many. With your help America will be ours again and that is a good thing.

They can laugh and giggle, cry and kick, hunger and... ah, that's where the need for baby bibs and burp cloths comes in to play, and that is why we began Little Dribble Baby to supply your baby's needs with beautiful, quality baby bibs, burp cloths, and as we continue to grow, many more items. Here's a true story of what began as fun, made its way toward necessity and has now become my passion. Thinking back around my 10th year, I remember my first sewing project - making a pair of shorts on my own. I had made up my mind, and there was no stopping me - all without a pattern to follow! When my practical Mom had objections, Dad quickly stepped in and said, Oh, let her do this, Liz. It's a good experience for her. G-ma holding 3-day old Jenna Grandma and 3-day old, Jenna Needless to say, I couldn't fit into my new shorts because I had made all the wrong cuts. It was a good sewing lesson, and by the time I reached 8th grade, my home economics teacher entered one of my outfits in a sewing competition, which won a prize ribbon. When our children began arriving, I sewed outfits for them and decorated their nurseries with hand sewn items, and we began what I call the evolution of the baby bib. I started making puffy bibs with a thick polyfiber between the layers. Back then, the designs on the front were hand-appliqued through the entire thickness, thus making them have a puffy appearance, and back then, the bibs were tied around baby's neck to keep the bib attached. Today, my baby bibs are larger in size, are machine appliqued and now we use easy attachments to keep the baby bib attached. It still gives me special delight to see moms using our products. I love what I do and continue my passion, but now, I follow a pattern - of my own design. Diane Martin For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. John 3:16,17 He loves you! |
