from Dianna's email,
A good friend of the Michigan tourism industry, Joe Breidenstein, always said that there’s no such thing as bad weather…just bad clothes! In remembrance of that wise man, here are some great Made in Michigan wearables to help keep you warm on these beautifully blustery winter days (and nights).
· The Original Stormy Kromer –Made in the Upper Peninsula for more than 100 years, these rugged caps are warm and Northwoods-stylish! www.stormykromer.com

Not every site is working so you may have to return later. I really love the Lake Superior Woolen Company's blankets but am bummed the one I want is sold out. Maybe Santa already purchased it for me?
Tommy Allen for TanglefootStudio.com - a Michigan gallery cooperative in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Image below is from the Lswoolen.com site and features the colorful blanket I love so much. Can you guess what color it is? (wink)
