Most Things Not made in china

Here are a few ideas. We could buy from artisans, (then I would have a job, too)
Now really, have you noticed the junk we are getting from China? None of this stuff is original, none of it is really nice..Because it is cheap, and unimaginative. ( Not necessarily their fault I might add). China does make some very nice stuff, but we aren't seeing much of it, and could be lowering their standards. Isn't there a law against that? Well there should be!
Kushtush organics Made by Amish, Peruvians, Americans. Some stuff grown in Texas Kushtush pet bed has a double-chambered futon of buckwheat hulls scented with natural lavender
Here are some nice organic scented petbeds for your kitty or pooch you love so much...pet beds
As much as we like natural bedding, so do our pets!

See below for some ideas, and "some" stuff from China is included.

Siamese Dream, Nepalese, etc
At least the Chinese stuff reflects China as a culture. 14.95 Jewelry roll. India made mirrors w/ silk pouch 7.95. Clothes, candles, slippers, Dali Lama quotes. etc. more more, nice store.



Folding three paneled screen for inside use. Peeled cedar bent to create interesting patterns over dark backgrounded material and lined with muslin on backside. My husband calls me the twigonometrist. I use native larch, cedar, birch, and red flowering dogwood for my rustic creations. They include custom made bentwood arbors, gates, fences, twig signs, trellises, furniture for the garden or inside, shevles, hanging plant baskets, garden globes, wedding decorations, cement bird baths and stepping stones with leaf impressions and other cement sculptures.

I also make life size moose sculptures of larch and cedar. I am excited to try different sculpture forms as requested. My work is a reflection of the beauty of the Moosehead Lake area's water and mountains.

Made In Japan... nice goods
100% Woven Cotton. Prepacked. The pictures shown are close-ups of the pattern, the actual pattern is repeated many times on a Yukata. The name "Yukata" comes from "Yu (bath) "and "Katabira"(under-clothing). About one thousand years ago, court nobles wore linen "Yukatabira" which were draped loosely after taking a bath. The general public began to wear them about three hundred years ago when the sophisticated Japanese public bath became popular. Now it is widely used for everything from traditional Japanese dance and usual wear in the summer, to simple night attire. In this country they make perfect bathrobes.
