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 Oh Crow Creatives The World's Coolest Rain Gauge? was introduced in 2001 and sold by TM Hoff Handmade. When it was introduced at the Atlanta International Gift and Home Furnishings Show in January of that year, it won Country Living Gardening Magazine's Best New Product award. Added to an already crowded product line of bird feeders, patio lanterns and other garden accessories, the rain gauge stood out immediately for its creative approach to a somewhat mundane activity: measuring rain. As it turned out, measuring rain was something a lot of people like to do. Sales skyrocketed, space and resources grew limited, nerves got frazzled. In 2008, a new company was formed to concentrate on the manufacture and sale of the rain gauge and the rain gauge only. Oh Crow LLC is proud to make the World's Coolest Rain Gauge? in the USA and continues to improve and add to the product line. Based in New Paltz, NY, Oh Crow LLC is owned by Moira Clune. Her former business partner, Tom Hoff, continues to create practical and amazingly useful products for the home and garden from his studio in Maplecrest, NY. |
