More Halloween shopping

I gave up on Halloween stores for purchasing my wig. I went to the California Merchandise Company in Santa Ana and found a beautiful wig labeled "50% made in USA, 50% made in Japan".

I also went to BigLots recently to finish putting together an earthquake kit. One of the items on my list was rope. There was no rope there not made in China - thick, thin, nylon, cotton, bungee cord - all made in China. The search goes on.

Halloween

I went shopping for a Halloween party I'm having. I LOVE Halloween. It is the only "holiday" for which I purchase home decor. Basically every piece of decor is made in China. From the cool door knocker that makes scary sounds to glow in the dark skulls to fake gargoyles. I didn't buy any new decorations. That made me sad. The only thing I absolutely needed was spider webs. I looked in Big Lots and Target - made in China. At the Party Store they had some, both white, black AND glow-in-the-dark, made in the USA!! I also need a wig for my Sarah Palin costume. So far, no costume wigs to be found that aren't made in China. I'm running out of time and getting nervous.
