Made in America

In honor of The Fourth of July, I'd like to share an awesome links for items made in America: Still Made in USA. For a while, I tried to only buy items made in the USA, unfortunately, I was in college at the time and not making enough money to only order items online. Now, out of college, I have less than money before I graduated and still can't only buy online, but I like to check out this site anyway.

I really like how items are placed into main catagories on the front page and then into subcatagories. I also love that their is a description on each company that makes their products in the USA. Still Made in USA also will note whether all or some items are made in the States and/or whether the items are made in the USA but with imported products.

Personally, I support buying USA made products for the jobs provided to United States citizens, so I don't mind imported materials. I also think it is nice to purchase items made by culture in the United States. If I wanted to by a sword, for instance, Spanish steel is ideal, if I want to buy wooden furniture however, I'm looking at some of the Amish or Shaker styles.

Some of the companies are a bit more expensive than if you were to scoot down to Walmart and pick up a generic, factory-made table or what have you. Currently, I like to browse the site for unique gifts and to daydream about my future home. I love to have a story behind everything...my poor, poor husband.

So, check it out, enjoy, and discover what the United States has to offer!
