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.

Horn Mountain Living As a third-generation craftsman, I started creating objects from wood as a child. Every year my family would take camping excursions in the mountains, and it's not a coincidence that I fulfilled my dream of becoming a mountain man/woodsman.* Horn Mountain LivingHaving lived the majority of my life in the great outdoors of the West, I enjoy taking wood with character (formed naturally by such things as wind, snow, fire, lightning, elk rubs, porcupines, vines and insects) and designing functional works of art from it. Using only dead trees, most of the wood I harvest comes from deep within the local Teton forests, but my wife and I love to travel the country to find different types of raw wood. I like to allow its natural shape to be retained and position it to show off the knots, scars and character that represent the tree's life. By combining God-given abilities and materials from nature, I individually design, hand make and hand carve one-of-a-kind pieces. Whether my creation or customized commission work, my goal is to make furnishings that will last for generations and most of all to give glory to the Master Artist and source of my help. My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of Heaven and Earth Psalm 121:2 * Woodsman: Person accustomed to life in the woods and skilled in woodcraft. * Woodcraft: Skill in anything concerning the woods or forest, such as hunting, trapping, etc. (Webster's Dictionary) Let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands for us. Psalm 90:17 Services Offered: On-Site Work - Interior/Exterior/Built-Ins Commissions, Designs, Decorating, Consultations & Storage Delivery within the US is either personal (by the artist) or by freight.
