Handful of new pieces from Robert Brasington, including a new kinetic piece.
The Yard Sale has some new pieces in there as well, including a gorgeous original Bill Lockhart box kite (more on this later).
Hopefully if you were in the path of Hurricane Irene you made it through okay, we had a bit of a blow and a bit of rain, not too bad.

spot light on a kite maker - Merritt Beck
Merritt Beck is a kite maker whose name I had heard over the years, but had never seen any of his kites.
In the last bulk consignment lot for the Yard Sale there happened to be 3 of his kites.
I googled his name to see if I could learn more about him and his kites.
Sadly, the first thing that I learned was that he had just passed away in October at the age of 95. I wish that I had been offered the chance to meet him and comment on his kites.
While popping open kites to photograph them i found these spectacularly colored kites that were impeccably sewn!
But, sewn with red and green thread.....a trademark of Merritt's.
If you happen to be a collector of kites, or just want a very nice kite to add to your collection here is your chance.
These three kites have never been flown and are beautiful!
KS83: ~3' snowflake $120*
KS84: ~12' Delta V $200*
KS85: ~12' DC $200*
The deltas are framed in 1" square basswood spars (ala Sun Oak Kites) and are going to be fun to ship! The leading edges do not break down. The snowflake is a smaller much easier to ship package.
These kites are probably the only ones out there in such pristine condition. If you do not grab these while you can right now, you will probably never get the chance to again!!!
Drop an email to claim one or all of them!!!
Good winds!

The Yard Sale
You will see that there is a new format; this one is a little easier for us to work in
and also it does not take as long for your computer when you click into it.
You can also see the pictures of what you want to see.
There are sections for single line kites, for dual line kites, for quad lines,
and also for the line laundry/ground display/banners/other kite related items.
A quick list of some of what you might find:
fighter kites
Windfeather banners
Peter Lynn giants
Pins
Prism sport kites
Guildworks items
Historic kites!
Catch the Wind spinsocks
kites that had not been opened since they were first made
Wander on in, you never know what you might find!
Reminder: the Yard Sale is updated on an ongoing basis.
Usually, any updating of the Yard Sale (or of any part of the website) will also be associated with a blog post here, but sometimes items get sneaked in. Seriously , you never know what might pop in there or when!
If you happen to have a pile of kites that you are no longer flying, in need of money,
or just want to pass some kites along and need some help with it please drop us a line!
We have been helping people to sell used/preloved/unwanted kites
and kite related items for over three years now.
We have the knowledge, we have the drive to do it,
and we are set up to ship kites every day (well except Sundays - thats football)

That gorgeous Bobby Stanfield cellular kite......
You can own this spectacular kite!!!
This is the final price drop on the Stanfield.
If no one grabs this kite up at 600$ then it is going back off the market.
The neat stuff:
This is 1 of only 4 kites. Bobby only made 4 of this specific kite. Two were sold on the East coast, and two were on the West coast. The other East coast kite flies on Horseneck Beach in Westport, Massachusetts.
Bobby made most of his own fittings. To look at this kite you see it as a marvel of design. He designed the kite so that it is very easy to adjust the tension on the skin, that way it looks the best at all times.
This is a massive cellular kite - it is about 7' tall, over 8' wide and almost 3' deep!
The tail is a separate section. This kite will fly without it, but does look more complete with it.
This kite will look beautiful up flying in the wind, or hanging in a office or museum!
This kite will definitely make you more popular on the kite field.
Are you a Florida Gators fan who loves flying single line kites? Then this kite is very appropriate for you!
Drop a note to us to claim this beauty!!!!
Someone needs to take this home and display it!
Good winds to everone

*claim about this kite increasing our popularity might be stretching the truth a bit!

Updates
So.....some updates have occurred:
The last banner from Scott Hampton went to a new home this weekend.
New prices in the Yard Sale on some items are in place.
Sold items have been cleared off the Yard Sale (there might be one or two items pending sale though).
A new kite maker page is almost ready to launch.
and......
it was a rainy but friend-ful day at Nahant for the the KONE regional event this past Saturday.
We did have a fun time, just not exactly as expected!
Keep an eye peeled for the new page of kites!

Come and check them out!!!

Well, some of you asked for it......
This is the Bobby Stanfield cellular piece that is in the Windswept Kites Yard Sale right now.
Bobby is one of the most amazing kitebuilders ever out there.....trust me on this!!!
Now the price on this kite is 800$ and it is worth every penny.
The kite is in two pieces.
The small star section at the back (bottom of the picture) is removable if you do not wish to have it on there.
All painstakingly appliqued in Bobby's manner (search on KiteBuilder.com for more on that),
and with Bobby's custom screw fittings this piece belongs in a museum!!!
The kitebuilding/selling crew will even go through and document as much as we can about how to assemble it when it comes apart
(but honestly it might spend the day hanging out loosely in the apartment for the art factor).
There is not many of Bobby's kites out there, and when one comes up for sale
if you have any interest (and the money) grab it while you can -you will probably never see that kite again!!!!
There are still some good deals in the Yard Sale, as well as some fantastic kites on the site too,
summer is coming,
you know you need a new kite!!!!

Our Yard Sale has been updated, and added to!
Good Morning:
So the Yard Sale has been updated this morning, with a new collection of some outstanding kites!
The owner of them took very good care of them (some have never even been flown! ;)
These might not be for the faint of heart; some are not cheap, but are worth every penny.
A couple of these should be hanging in a museum but they fly darn well to boot!
Yard Sale items are check/cash in hand only, and you cover the real shipping fee
(you will get offered how to ship).
These items are available to go to the UK or elsewhere in the flying world!
Email text or call fast since when they are gone they are gone!

What are you doing this Saturday June 6th?
We are heading to a festival!!!!
This will be our first time going to the Kites Over New England regional festival in Lynn, MassaWHOsetts.
KONE is a very active kite flying/building/hanging out/eating good food group that has been around for quite awhile....a great bunch of people make up the core of this group-some might even give you the shirt off your back if you asked for it!
check out: http://kone.org/Welcome.html for more information.
We will be there with a bunch of stuff and friends, and that does include the kite dogs!
If there is anything you wish from the website feel free to drop us a line, or send a text message if you are so inclined (406.205.0432) and we can make sure it is in the ute.
There also might be a neat donation going to the KONE auction as well, hmm maybe a couple of things.....
Make sure to check out the website: prices dropped a bit in the Yard Sale and there is about to be a bunch of really nice single line kites added to the Yard Sale as well (there will be a separate post when that happens in a bit).
