Greek Stuff
I am a Greek-American. The purpose of this lens is to make lists of, links to, and mention products of interest to, Greek-Americans.
The logo for this Lens reads "Assembled in the USA using Greek parts." It can be found in my Zazzle shop, as well as my CafePress shop, on T-shirts and other clothing items. Just go to:

About Your Lensmaker
That would be me!
My grandfather came from Skoradlou, Crete in 1912. It is from him that I receive my Greek heritage, of which I am very proud.
Over the years, I have developed a few web sites. Below are a few pages about my grandfather, about the Greek Flag, and others about my shops with Greek Flag designs.
Yes, I do make money if you buy from my shops. Yes, I did create this lens as a way to help Greek-Americans find my shops. What's wrong with that? :)

My Country, My Ancestry
Greek-Americans honor both the country of their birth and their heritage.
As a Greek-American I was taught both the importance of being an American and being of Greek ancestry. As a CafePress shopkeeper, I know the importance of letting people know about your designs.I am very proud of this one. It expresses, in a simple way, my love of the USA and Greece.
You can find it at Greek / USA Flag Hearts -- My Country My Ancestry, one of many designs in the Greek Flag section of AmeriYank's AmeriWear. Or, choose from the products below.
