Made in the USA

I recently watch a TV news show with interest. The subject line was a family that had agreed to allow the reporters to remove everything from their home that was not made me the USA.  I was surprised to see the family return to an empty home.  I said to my daughter, “if they had shopped at the Brick House Antique Center, they would have rooms full of stuff”.  My husband and I own and operate the Brick House Antique Center in Palmyra, NY.  We purchase the items we sell from auctions and household sales in the area.  We specialize in quality antiques, most which are made in this part of the country!    Some items, like Hall pottery, is marked USA. Other items have no markings, but we can identify the part of the country that they were made by the type of wood and style.  We have Lyon’s jugs for sale which are highly collectible and were made 20 miles or so down Rt 31 in Lyons NY.

We recently added a new line of area rugs.  The braid rugs are made in North Carolina! These beautiful rugs are made with the finest wool, cotton and performance blend fibers.   Please take time to look through our website: www.brickhouserugcenter.com to see the variety of rugs we offer.

When you are thinking about redecorating a room in your home, challenge yourself to purchase items made in the USA.  Another challenge----shop in Antique stores, flea markets, and thrift stores. If you make a purchase you will be recycling and reusing unwanted items.  Let’s work together to keep Americans employed, and our planet as green as possible.

Buy American made!!!   Recycle and reuse!!! 

That’s all for now from the Brick House Blogger.
