Stocking Stuffer Idea from Missouri/Kansas

My husband and I were shopping a local gift shop in town and a display caught my eye.  It basically said microwavable popcorn pops off the cob.  I was intrigued here is a picture.





I couldn't put it down. I spoke to the owner and asked how much popcorn did that one ear pop? She assures me that it is enough for two and that it is good.  Well I added it to my purchases and plan to pop it soon. I think it will be a great topic of conversation so it will make a great stocking stuffer.

Best of all it is Kansas Grown and comes from the Sunflower Food Company from Riverside, MO.

I'll give the review of the corn once I have a movie night!!

All USA Clothing A Michigan Based Company

Today in the Detroit Free Press I stumbled across a company All USA Clothing based here in Michigan that is truly combining the entruepreuneuial spirit with the desire to purchase more products Made in the USA.  They started out in their home as a part time business and now they have 6 employees and an office.

They work with 38 factories including Carhartt and Union and I believe it said they had 800 items available. 

I immediately went in search of my American Made Winter Coat that I have officially been looking for now for over a year.  My heart quickened with excitemen of finally reaching my goal.  They did have a coat but it was not as heavy as I am looking for at the present. I'll be checking back on a regular basis to see if anything is added to inventory.

Way to go!!
