Coming up on the holidays!!!

Are you ready for the glut of shopping in big box stores full of aisles of the same items?  

How about turning that effort into supporting your small shops around you instead???   

Black Friday is looming, and lots will be appearing at the doors of the big stores before the break of dawn....but go and find local stores and support your community!   

Check out Small Business Saturday for business's near you that are taking part.

You can also order online from us any day of the year!   

We are chock full of special single line kites and great deals on some used kites - you would be surprised what is in the Yard Sale!   

We are fully stocked up on the new favorite the iFlite kites.   Grab one of Robert Brasington's fantastic pieces, a fun and active flyer from Karl Longbottom, a one of a kind Ty Billings creation or a one of a kind painted piece by Scott Hampton or Jacques Letourneau; there are lots of options ready to ship.

We wish you a wonderful holiday season, no matter where you are!

October Brasington Workshops!!!!!

October 8th & 9th, 2011, we will be hosting Robert Brasington here on the lovely North Shore of Massachusetts!!!

Robert is a master kite maker from Tasmania who has a very distinctive style of colors and patterns that make beautiful kites!!!   He is taking a couple of days off of his traveling schedule for this workshop for us.

You will have the chance to make one of his Concentrix kites, or a spinning Wind Tulip 

(see the picture above) at each of the workshops.   

Some people decided to stick around and take both classes,  if their schedule allows.

These two days are limited to 16 people all together (that means 8&8 of course) 

so if you want to get into one of these get in quickly!

I will be keeping a waiting list in case someone backs out, and the open spot will fall to the next person in line.

Please see the official page on Windsweptkites.com for more details.
