Good Morning, Girls! Are you up for a new kind of Swap? This one is called: "Made In America Treasure Hunt!"
Let's start Today through March 31 st. Just find 5-10 things that were "Made in America". Anything from foods, clothes, toys, animal feed, etc. Sometime it's not the most expensive item. Example: One lady fround an inexpensive, small waste basket made in the USA, but the larger one was made in China and cost more.
When you find your items, list them on this site by Item, Brand Name and the Store that sells it. Example: Peanut Butter. "Made in Texas" brand. HEB grocery
Please post at least 5 items at a time. If you don't find 5 by the end of the swap, please list what you did find. If you find a lot, please list them 10 at a time. And if you did not find any, report None.
Nothing to buy. Nothing to mail. Just share what you find.
Have a Fun Journey. Happy Shopping. Let's support American Made!!
Mary

Sign me up Mary, I will see what I can find.

I LOVE this challenge! And I already checked out one of Nini's finds, Fillmore Containers (I have an addiction to containers, especially glass ones!) What an awesome website! They have so much information about preserving, including recipes and methods I've never tried. AND I love that they donate proceeds to the Wounded Warrior Project and Four-H! So cool!
I couldn't find a testimony that everything was made in the US, though I see that they do manufacture there. But I'm bookmarking this website! Thanks! |

Thanks Mary, I sell at Market Square Wholesale shows and there are still some "Made in America" products available for stores to buy. Found in the gallery and Cash and Carry. For Trades only, but a great outlet for Country and Primitive product makers.
I will think of more before the end of the month.
I have done business or worked next to several of the businesses
Ninibini mentioned. All hardworking crafts folk.
Thank you for featuring Made in USA

Still hunting for more. Hunt with me!!
Have a lovely day,
Mary
