Has anyone been watching Diane Sawyer on ABC News talking about the state of the economy? I know that's not a very Christmasy topic but she has made a suggestion - buy each person on your gift list one gift "Made in America". One way you can do this is to support your local handcrafters. Etsy is a great source for "Made in America" as are your local Christmas Boutiques. You can buy jewelry, clothes, slippers, scarves and a variety of "Frock Me" items handcrafted by an artisan in America.
In the spirit of "Made in America", Angela Glossy Flossy has crafted these fantastic Angel Wing Wreaths made from recycled sheet music and will be selling them at a local boutique on Saturday.
If you live in our area and you're out and about come out and visit with her. There will be lots of other handcrafted items for sale like lace vests, jewelry, and Holiday arrangements. Come out and support your local "Made in America" handcrafters!
Wherever you live, go out and support your local handcrafters this season.
