The Tip is 'City Magazines' I was in the magazine section recently and saw the Indianapolis Monthly. The cover title read "Made In Indiana." I read the article and was amazed that all sorts of things were being made in the state. This is contrary to what most American's believe. Most of us think everything is made overseas. We still make the majority of what we consume and our buying tips we call Little Secrets help you realize that. Being from Indiana, I decided to visit several of the referenced web sites and I am proud to say I have purchased some of the best products ever. All thanks to the "City Monthly Magazine". Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Brookwood Leather Here you will find guitar straps handcrafted with love and care. I select only the finest hides available from the best tanneries, Wickett & Craig being my favorite. I have no employees, I craft each strap personally. That way I can be sure you get my very best each and every time. Some years backI made some big life changes, including getting married in '05, and then moving to Pennsylvania with my wonderful wife Ronda in July of '06, leaving N.J. behind. We did that so we would have enough room to take in my 90 year old mom and have her live with us. I was in need of finding a way to generate some income from home, so that I could be around when she needs help. My musician friends' suggestions of making straps full time started to sound like a great idea. I started working with leather in 1971, selling guitar straps, belts, bags, hats, etc. throughout New Hampshire. I also spent a summer in the old French Quarter of Montreal making custom fitted sandals at an artisan's market. I've had the pleasure of making straps not only for players from all across the U.S.A. but from all around the globe as well. I hope to have the pleasure of making one for you My mother passed away in 2012 and Ronda and I are relocating to the Northern Neck of Virginia, our new home and the new home of Brookwood Leather : ) |
