More and more women are going back to making their own clothes and learning to knit again. <br />But in recent times, our supermarkets have started stocking packaged food from China. Now Chinese food in a good Chinese restaurant is one thing, but packaged food that tastes of chemicals and makes people sick, is not tolerated well here! I think most Aussies have arked up and refuse to buy foods originating in Asia now.Gina E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07532527261977368083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2651015622069706958.post-11563141040244885082009-09-20T17:06:25.988-07:002009-09-20T17:06:25.988-07:00It is getting harder and harder to find American m...It is getting harder and harder to find American made goods and I blame those "big box" stores that begin with the letter W which have forced manufacturere to go off shore, so the store can "roll back prcies" on thier goods at the expense of American jobs and quality ...grrr.Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2651015622069706958.post-22485692443039779352009-09-19T20:40:07.584-07:002009-09-19T20:40:07.584-07:00I agree!

The more of us that write and tell them we are no longer buying from manufactured China products, the more heed they will pay when their revenues go down. <br />Look in the thrift stores too for fabrics and such in town. I found some great 1960's fabric at the Goodwill on Beale St. for cheap!<br />Love your posts!<br />Ren in Valle VistaRen-in-Azhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06386269274230154291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2651015622069706958.post-75905497201243681232009-09-18T16:48:30.497-07:002009-09-18T16:48:30.497-07:00I hear you Hon!

I had always been able to just throw them in the washer and they came out fine. These ... OMG! ... they blew up in the washer and were filled with all kinds of black, white, and gray batting. Ick! I'm looking for USA all the way now! I miss my old booty slippers. *sniff* xxooHarbor Honhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14311482342041164790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2651015622069706958.post-75274055728333955722009-09-18T08:48:35.887-07:002009-09-18T08:48:35.887-07:00I know your pain.....
