At Kmart I found Easter Grass that was not made in China, although it is plastic and made in Mexico. I went ahead and bought it because I was running out of time to look for more environmentally friendly made in USA grass. I also picked up a Ariel doll that is for the bath. Baby Girl is in love with all things The Little Mermaid. It also has a toy Flounder. It's not made in America but it's not made in China either. It seems a lot of Mattel Dolls (Barbies, Disney etc) are made in Indonesia.
After letting Baby girl run around KMart we headed over to Albertsons for some grocery shopping. As I was heading to the checkout counter I decided to take a quick look at the Easter stuff. And what did I find?!? Paper Easter Grass made in the USA!!! There is no web address on the bags but it says on it 'Made by Bleyer Gift Packs for Easter Unlimited, Inc/ Fun World Carle Place, NY 11514. A search in Google found this site. Don't know if it is the same but it very well could be.

Sad to think, although likely true, that something as simple as grass for Easter baskets in taking jobs away from American workers.
Great you're being so diligent about the environment and patriotic in your buying decisions.
While I'm here - via an Outclick from Blog Village - I wanted to ask a couple things...
--> How might I get a rave/rant view for my photography site
--> If you'd be willing to point a camera out your window and share the view
--> Are you open to doing any link exchanges?
Will look forward to hear from you; if you'd like to email: antoniomachione@gmail.com
