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 Johnny Loves June Our company was founded just a few short years ago. Donna Schons (Designer & Owner) had been in the wholesale gift business for around 10 years, after finding by happenstance her creative talents as a designer and graphic artist in her mid 40's. In 2008 when the recession took a tremendous hit on most businesses, Donna scaled back her business, took a couple years off to find her true passion, and came upon a critical fork in the road near Kerrville, Texas (in the Texas Hill Country). After many hurdles in her life, she found herself asking God for guidance, best described by the lyrics of the song Jesus take the wheel by Carrie Underwood. Then while listening to an old Johnny Cash song, in that instant, a vision of a true country love story between Johnny Cash and June Carter came to mind, and the name Johnny Loves June was born. All became clear from that point on. She dedicated her talents to designing a fresh new look jewelry line, which has become her passion. Not long after, Donna met Mark who would become her best friend, confidant, husband, business partner and the Johnny to her June. In just 2 short years, our company has taken off and is now carried in over 300 boutiques nationwide. We proudly make everything in the USA, and our studio is located in Denham Springs, Louisiana. Johnny Loves June jewelry can be described as a crossover between Bohemian, Gypsy, Western, Native American Indian, and Religious influences. Our style is best categorized as earthy, casual jewelry for everyday wear. Because of our firm belief in God's grace, many of our pieces have religious influences. And we truly have been BLESSED!!! On a side note, with all of God's graces, it has also been revealed to Donna her calling to share her struggles and message of hope to so many other women that also have been through similar life experiences and are at their own crossroads. We aim to share that love, one jewelry piece at a time. Donna's mantra is Let what you love, Be what you do |
