Gift baskets and underwear Made in U.S.A.

I was very successful today putting together a bridal shower gift. I went to Vicki Montana Classics. It's a very cool place actually here in Montana. She had homemade huckleberry everything, so I loaded up the basket with Montana made soaps, and lotions, wheat for bread and a special kosher salt. I'll include a coin later. I believe it's an old custom somewhere where the bride gets "bread" so the family will never go  hungry, Salt, so life will always have flavor and a coin so that the couple will always have prosperity. Cute huh?

So that mission is accomplished, I now have a bridal gift, made 100 percent in USA, including the basket itself. and it cost less than $35.00. I'm very pleased with the whole thing.

That mission is accomplished but the search for plus size underwear and bras for this ALL American woman are hard to come by. I have found panties, but I have not found a bra maker yet that will take care of the big melons I carry. I can of course MAKE my own panties, I found some patterns on the internet, tell me what you think.




I'm not going to win a beautiful sexy panty contest, but what's a girl to do. After studying these very easy patterns I decided someone, somewhere in this great country of ours can make some panties that fit and don't cost more than $30 a pair. I did find panties that were about $18 a pair that would fit, but good grief. That's a lot of money for a scrap of cotton to fit around one's arse...

But I will not give up! I will go to J.C. Penneys sometime this week since I was told they do have an all American, Made in U.S.A. bra. for $32. It will have to last me the whole year, because that is much more than I'm used to spending.

Next week, I will be writing the executives at Wal-mart to see if they carry anything U.S.A in their store, if they do. I'll let you know.
