shopping

well, the yearly shopping season is upon us, and many of us are already starting to shop by catalog and on line to make our christmas purchases. I want to share a few great websites with you:
https://www.saveourcountryfirst.com/Default.aspx
Made in America Store
Features only products that have been manufactured in the USA. So Important that we support Local Businesses and Companies that bring JOBS to US citizens, I urge you all to Loot at these sources FIRST when making decisions for this holiday season.
Second is:
http://www.etsy.com/ here you will find many great gifts made by Crafters all around the USA. Many are work at home moms creating wonderful gifts for Kids and adults alike. Great place for Girlfriend and Sister,Mother in Law gifts.....
Thrirdly I Urge you to visit your local crafts festivals this fall with your shopping list in hand, This is one of the last great frontiers of the American Dream.


And Lastly Keep your Business Local, shop at Locally Owned Mom and Pop Shops and Galleries, like this store pictured above in Falmouth Mass, many of which feature superior goods and services to the big box stores. The money you spend local goes back into the Local economy and the American Wallet.
Consider shopping at Flea Markets and Antique Malls to keep from sending MORE of your hard earned money over seas. Dont forget Gift Certificates for Salons and Spas, or a Favorite Locally Owned Restaurant. Perfect Gift for a SPOUSE.
I think you will feel better about your Holiday Gift List if you take time NOW to plan to Shop in Ways that bennifit your local economy and our National Economy. Lets collectively support the brave souls who say YES America is STILL a great Manufactureing Nation!
