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 Little Kites Welcome to Littlekites.com, featuring miniature kites, mini kites, a miniature kite train, a miniature butterfly kite, dragonfly kites, a fairy kite, a tiny housefly kite and bigger kites. For kids, teachers, educators, moms, dads and kite clubs, I've also included a page about a kids kite that's quick and easy to make. Or, if you're in the mood to make some miniature kites yourself, I give some tips on my how to page and throughout the site, by way of describing some of the materials and techniques I used for making the kites. I'll be adding old and new kites to the pages listed above, as the weather cooperates and the time becomes available to get out and actually fly the kites in my kite bag. I didn't make all the kites you'll find on this website, nor did I design all the kites I DID make. I try to give credit where it's due, because we all know how vengeful kite fliers are. Thinking about it, I probably didn't make or even pay for most of the really great kites you'll find here. Unless I have to count buying a raffle ticket, or being lucky enough to have people just give me kites because I'm such a swell guy. What I hope to do with this site, is to provide some information and promote flying and making kites. If I happen to get filthy rich and have to retire to Tahiti in the process, I'll just try to make the best of it. The only kites I have for sale here, are the miniature kites I make. I deal mostly with retailers and people that want custom graphic applications on the sails of the diamond Eddy kites, but if you want a few of the kites I make, please check the Buy Online button. Enjoy the site and drop me a line, if you're so inclined. (Please include the word KITES in the subject line, so it's easier for me to distinguish your REAL EMAIL from the SPAM I get). Thanks for stopping by and taking a look! Tom Tinney |
