I am now looking at purchasing some new furniture items for my home. I have not done this for a long time. I had to purge out so much old stuff and now that part of my healing/purging journey is done. I see how the world has changed regarding the manufacturing of furniture. It is not like it was 20 years ago. I prefer only solid oak furniture, real oak, not just oak veneers or oak finish. I want the natural thing, just like I used to have. I have to match this new furniture with my kitchen cabinets which happen to be real oak. So this made it simple and easy? Not really. I find it hard to locate real USA made oak furniture. I researched the Internet and found mostly junk from other countries. I am not going to purchase anything like that.

I did finally talk to a person who owns a local furniture store. He assured me that there are still USA made solid oak furniture manufacturers. Not many, but they are still here! So, it is still possible to get the right kind of furniture for my home. I will just wait until I can do this financially. I feel good to know that I did not fall into a spiritually set-up trap and get something other than the real thing. I am not mind-controlled anymore!

I want my new dining furniture to look good, and be safe. I also want to get something for my kitty to climb on. I see that most of the kitty furniture in the retail stores is made from unsafe materials and is unstable and hazardous. So, I will not be purchasing any of those carpeted kitty condos. Instead, I have found a few places on the  Internet that make this kind of kitty furniture from real wood. Again, these companies are here in the USA. I feel good that there are USA manufacturers making safe kitty furniture from real wood. I know my kitty will love it and enjoy it so much more because it will remind him of the outdoors. It is not worth spending the money and then not having  your kitty enjoy it. That is just plain stupid.

Funny how the spiritual setups were all gearing me to the wrong items, so I let those go by. I will not just get something fast and not like it. And I will not pay $900 shipping charges either.  That is what one place would charge for a delivery from the east coast. No thanks! I will buy locally and spend about $90 on delivery. That is very reasonable. That is buying locally here in California. I like that too!

That is all I am saying about home furnishings. You can go for the cheap these days. It is very easy to do that. But, it is not safe, healthy, or helping our own USA furniture makers to survive. We must return to how we were and let our real feelings lead us to the natural, beautiful, and safe home furnishings that are still made right here in the USA. We do not need those other countries anymore. We can make it on our own.

So now I am just waiting for the right time to make these purchases. I know that sometime in the future it will happen. I am not concerned about it and have a lot of patience these days. I am not in a big hurry. Hopefully more of these USA companies will flourish and grow again and we will depend less on the toxic products sent to us from overseas.
