Metal signs

Who would be so stupid as to answer a question with an assumption? An assumption does not qualify as an informational answer.

I actually watch the show, "Fixer Upper". Joanna has actually walked into the metal worker's shops (2 of them) and talked to the artisans. She has ordered two signs, on separate shows. She didn't appear to be in Asia and she never announced that she had traveled to Asia for the sake of ordering the signs.

They make a big deal about using local artisans when they work on the homes on the show.

Someone somewhere on the board mentioned that the Gaines do sell items in their store and on-line which are made in China. I have no idea, nor did I confirm or deny this. I never stated I knew either way, I find it odd that anyone would question what I wrote. I merely asked if anyone knew where I might order a CUSTOM sign, not one of the sayings sold in Joanna's shop.

The Gaines have never, to my knowledge, stated that all items sold in the Magnolia Market are made in the USA. If you're disappointed, be disappointed. I seriously doubt it will affect their income at all.

Though I do appreciate having access to items made in the USA, I am also aware enough to recognize that free trade is beneficial to many countries in the world, not just the USA. It's curious to me that so many folks want to buy only what is made in the USA, without realizing that a great deal of our economy is based on our EXPORT trade. If not for other countries purchasing our goods, we would be in a woeful state.

Example, we export our cotton across the world. If not for that, what would become of our cotton producers? Is the USA the only country in need of fabric?
