American-Made Friday Links

Some recent news in the world of American-made: kitchen items, bike helmets, stuff for kids and babies, Brooklyn, Chicago, the American salmon fallacy, a tour of a NYC Garment District sewing studio, an LA shop with made-in-America items for guys, why iPhone will not be part of American manufacturing, fake 'Made in USA' labels (yep, apparently it's a thing), the FTC getting strict on those labels, the most 'American' companies, and more.

  2. Oh these are sooo good! Hope you're having a terrific week!

    Emily, you always inspire me but especially with today's post. I think everyone's first reaction is too distant themselves from the people who are sick or people who are dealing with a lot because we usually don't know what to do/say. I have a friend who is going through quite a bit, and I think a little care package for her would be exactly what she needs. Sometimes those thing speaks louder than words.

    Thank you!
