Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I'm not sure if this is helpful, but I did manage to find some non MIC toys at IKEA. I purchased this wooden train set from Ikea recently and it was made in Sweden. Other parts to the set were made in Bulgaria. I also bought everyday glasses (for me!)that were reasonably priced and made in Italy.

Hope that helps!


Mary, that's VERY helpful. IKEA is another of those stores that is WIDE OPEN about country of origin. Thank you for reminding us.

Hi ladies:

I just can't get off this kick, now that you jump-started me. Here is a list of Made in America or Fair Trade clothing sites. I gave a sketchy review of some of my more favorites (or, in one case, the very few things that WERE my favorites on that site). I hope this is helpful.

I've also e-mailed some of my current favorites to garner their support at least as far as openness about countries of origin. I'll be posting those answers within a couple of days.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Beating a dead horse, I have added letters from various companies to my blog. Hopefully what I've done will help you to make informed decisions.
