I recently went to Phoenix, AZ and got to enjoy a few shops in the art district and it got me thinking about the Made in America Pledge I saw on ABC World News with (my FAVORITE nighttime newscaster Diane Sawyer) and on Good Morning America (who I love to watch over coffee in the AM).  It got me to thinking how can I buy in America and satisfy my quirky style/taste??? Well  I checked out the shops and fell in love with the creative folks of Roosevelt Row.  They have a super fun event called First Fridays where people can stroll around the neighborhood and they have tons of food trucks.  It’s a great way for young people to get used to buying art that’s affordable.
So if your looking for holiday gifts check out the creative folks in Phoenix. Â The items are handmade so they are one of a kind but if you want to order something check out their facebook pages or call them directly!
So check out the video of trip. Â I have to say that I really enjoyed the city and the people they were very friendly.
Made Art Boutique had my FAVORITE item it’s a collection of robots made by a local man.  For the Christmas season he made robot winestoppers as well as super cool fridge magnets.  So if your a bit of a geek (like me) make sure you give her a call to order one for your science fiction fan boy or girl.  THEY will love you for the gift!!!
