Anyone know where one might purchase ethically-made underwear?
Panties and camisoles. I'm really trying to be committed to buying ethically-made products, or at least not sending my money to places like China. But this has me stumped.

Btw, my new blouses and dresses from the rummage sale, most of 'em, have a name markered on the labels. "Flo Someone". I'm guessing "Flo" was a resident in a nursing home (had to have her laundry marked) and probably passed away. I find it interesting that my clothes have a history. That is, a history besides exploited workers. I'll take good care of Flo's clothes.

I didn't know he was still alive. I remember the first time I dropped his peasant revolt theory in one of my Bible studies. I nearly lost a former Lutheran, who is still suspicious as to whether I "believe in the Bible". I've learned to do these things more gently.
