As we approach this time of Thanksgiving, it pays to reflect on what all we have to be thankful for. Family, friends, homes, jobs are high on the list. In this economy, we know many are struggling and we've seen so much in the news lately about jobs.  Diane Sawyer, anchor of  World News Tonight on ABC, has been doing stories on items Made in America and how purchasing those items creates jobs.  We at Sophisticated Stationery believe in supporting small business (of course, we are one!) and the concept of Made in America.  So for this blog post, we turned to Etsy for inspiration.  You can't get much more Made in America than our crafty citizens and Etsy is a small business mecca! So here is what we found, ENJOY!
