As American as Apple Pie . . . This blog is all about finding products that are made in the USA so that I can support this country that I am proud to call home.

Local Store

We stopped in to the local store that I found when I was looking at diaper bags online.  Unfortunately, they did not have the bags in stock (they can order them.)  But, the owner was very knowledgeable about where everything is made.  All of her furniture is USA or Canada.  All of her bedding is made in America.  She had hundreds of swatches to choose from- it was overwhelming! 

She did have a crib/armoire set on sale that was kind of enticing.  It's made in Canada.  It is convertible and she is selling all the conversion pieces with it.  Here's a picture:





Here's the matching armoire, which supposedly we could put the changing table inside, but it doesn't seem wide enough for the kid to get very big, even though in a perfect world, I wouldn't still be changing diapers that long! 
In fact the dimensions are 39.75" W x 18" D x 72.25".  So, I guess they're out of diapers by 40"?  It just didn't look all that roomy!  

Well, it's something to think about anyways.  I wasn't going to buy any furniture besides the crib and the glider, so I'm not sure.  Having everything enclosed does sound nice, but is it worth the extra dough?  Cuz, even though it's on sale, it's still more than just buying the Young America crib by itself!

The bedding option I think I remember is Bella Notte.

I can't remember the rest, but there were tons of swatches.  Something to think about.

Oh, and the store is Oh Baby!/dilly dally in North Hills.
