Good Morning,
This thread waned about a month or so ago, but it sure was fun while it lasted.
I am bumping it this morning because I have some additional info.
I talked to the company "Maine Cottage" the other day. One of the questions I asked was where the furniture is made. I was happy to learn that it is right here in the USA. The wood is done in Maine and the upholstery in North Carolina.
The last time I bought any furniture was 5 years ago and at the time, I was concerned about the amount of work that had been shipped out. Or is it shipped in, I guess. Buying American made is important to me. And it sure is hard to do. Furniture seems to be one of the last places to be able to buy American. But that has been getting more difficult by the minute, too, it seems.
I got a small catalog from Maine Cottage and then I got the bigger one. It sure is purdy! I love catalogs. And I want to hold them in my hands like in the old days. I am such a relic it seems.
Maine Cottage has a store in Yarmouth, ME, and also one in Charleston, SC, and there is supposed to be a new store in Florida somewhere.
Like I said back in the beginning of this thread, I read about this company in the Detroit paper when I was there visiting. The article was about use of color.
I had never heard of Maine Cottage. I guess they advertise in magazines like "Coastal Living" or something and the Ohio River coast just doesn't get it.
Anyway, just wanted to update those of you who like to look at decorating stuff and let you know the great news about where this stuff is made and also tell you that this catalog sure is purdy. Kind of pricey but oh so purdy.
Oh, and here's the link again.
