A barrel of fun

We've been looking for a new desk and have been seeking out made in USA options.
Recently we stopped by Brunner Furniture in Hartford, WI and I was pleased to see this lovely bar stool, made from an old wine barrel right here in the US.
Walking through the store I noticed several prominent tags on items designating them as made in USA, which made it easy to single them out.

Shorts weather

With shorts weather on the way, I knew I could use a new pair. The majority of my shorts predate my relationship with my husband, so we're talking 10+ years here.
I found the Kevin's Catalog web site in my collection of links, which had some women's safari-style shorts made in the USA and ordered a pair. They arrived within a week and were quite attractive.
Kevin's Catalog site search actually works like I wish other sites did: you type in USA in the search box, and whammo, you get pages of relevant results. Many sites will only return items with USA in the product name, which many times are made in China.
Right now Kevin's Catalog has made in USA leather goods, apparel, furniture and accessories.
