Shop-A-Thon Thursday

Welcome back to Shop-A-Thon Thursday.  There's an old adage that says, Find something you love to do and you'll never work a day in your life.  Doing this blog just becomes more fun every week.  Finding more and more companies that manufacture their items in the US gets better every week.  This week I was even able to [hopefully] help a company find a manufacturer in the US versus China.  If that works out, you may see them on a future Shop-A-Thon Thursday.

My intention is to have a variety of items on the list to meet a variety of needs.  With Halloween coming up next month, I have included some wonderful companies that make such beautiful costumes.  I just had to share them with you.  Your little ones will look absolutely gorgeous in them.  There's also a makeup company, Mehron, for the more creative ones.

As always, please enjoy.  If there's something that you are looking for and do not find here, please send me an email and I will do my very best to find it.
