Made in USA

With the upcoming Fourth of July holiday, we thought this would be a great time to feature some of the American-made products available here at The Picket Fence.  We are proud of our many "made in the USA" options and are constantly on the lookout for new lines to add to the mix.  Not only do we get to provide our customers with quality American products, but we also get to help support other American small businesses.  It's a win-win!  Here are some of our favorite items -


Many of our jewelry lines are handcrafted in the US.  These artisans use the finest materials to make unique pieces in a variety of styles.  We've had the opportunity to meet most of the designers in person and it's wonderful to be able to support such a talented group!



We love the beachy look of these frames - perfect for showing off your favorite family photos.  Available in a variety of sizes and colors, each frame is hand assembled in Florida.


Made from slow-burning soy wax poured into colorful glass containers, these candles from Skeem are available in many wonderful fragrances.  Once the candle is gone, the container can be reused - the large candles make great drinking glasses or vases, while the small jars would be great for desk supplies or change.



 

We carry several US-made baby lines that offer bibs, blankets and other baby/toddler necessities (we especially love the hooded towel sets!).  These wooden music boxes are all handmade in New York and are available in a variety of traditional lullabies. 


These pewter photograph stands are a customer favorite.  Made in Rhode Island, they are perfect for a desk or dorm room and are a great alternative to traditional picture frames.  Recipe stands and business card holders also available.



No list of our favorite American-made items is complete without Maruca!  We love their unique styles and fabrics, which are designed in-house with new introductions twice a year.  Each piece is hand sewn in their factory in Boulder, Colorado.

Of course, these are just a few of the American lines we carry.  Stop by soon to see all the US-made goodies throughout the store!
