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 Kentucky Cutting Boards The idea for our unique American Made products began in a casual discussion over a glass of wine in our backyard. Bill owns a flooring manufacturing company called Custom Hardwood Supply. Many customers complimented his flooring inlays and medallions created from beautiful hardwoods. We decided it would be cool to create decorative yet functional products that could be enjoyed by a greater number of people. We ran through a list of items that we could manufacture with the tools we already had and in that list, our cutting board business was born! The product line has since grown to include bread and cheese boards as well as lazy susans. We enjoy choosing simple yet iconic designs that we think are well suited to inlays. Then there is the process of figuring out how best to incorporate the most striking features of several wood species to translate the designs into the boards in a way that looks both natural and unique. Our Horse themed boards are top choices (naturally, as Louisville is the home of the Kentucky Derby!) with the Fleur de Lis following close behind ? another Louisville trademark. Another great design includes the Pineapple which has become a popular gift for Realtors to give as a housewarming gift to new home buyers. One of our newest boards is our hickory bread board with a gorgeous richly hued wine bottle inlay which is a great option for Bridal and Wedding Gifts. Our prices range from $49.50 on up. Read some of the nice things our customers have had to say about our products! Kentucky Cutting Boards was in the news last fall. Foxnews.com featured our Celtic Trinity Round Cutting Board as one of EIGHT great American Made Products! We are always looking for interesting design ideas. If you are interested in a custom design, email me and I'll quote you a price. Enjoy, Jennifer Adams President Kentucky Cutting Boards 502-439-8851 |
