Saturday

Got everyone fed early and loaded up fibers to sell at  the Peachtree Handspinner's meeting. Sales were good, glad the spinners are still spinning, in times like these arts and crafts seem to have a revival. We want to go back to more important things. I really appreciate the loyal buyers helping support a local farmer. If we buy more things grown in this country it can only help the economy. I just wish there were more things made in this country from what we grow. Years ago all our cotton went to the cotton mills in Georgia, just 20 miles from here, it was carded,spun and woven into fabric. Most of our cotton was a good grade and low mic that went into underwear. Now, most of our cotton goes to China. You have to search high and low to find anything made in the USA from USA cotton.  How can a pair of panties that has travelled a zillion miles on a barge be cheaper than a pair made in Georgia?
