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.

After moving into a new home, we were dismayed at the lack of originality in the shelf papers and drawer liners we found. The idea of having to look at our possessions from silverware and sweaters to towels and toys sitting on faux wood-grain or sterile white plastic shelf paper left us wanting something better. We believe what the quote above says: The areas we access every day should look as nice as the parts of our homes that are on display. Our second gripe was the idea of all the measuring, cutting, and trial-and-error fitting process to install shelf liners. What a hassle! Why couldn t a company pre-cut them for us? There had to be more choices and a better way, we told ourselves but we couldn t find one. So we started Chic Shelf Paper.
