Made in Canada Baby...

It has always been important to me to shop locally and to buy made in Canada products.  When I was outfitting our nursery I knew that I wanted the things I bought for our new baby to be made in Canada.  What I didn't expect was how hard it was going to be to find them.  It took a lot of searching and a lot of time on the computer but I was eventually able to find almost everything made in Canada.  I was even able to buy some of it locally from a little baby boutique.  I had all my bedding sewn by a friend of my Mom's (I am eventually going to have to learn to sew) and our furniture was handmade by a neighbour of my in-laws (the furniture came second hand from my husband's sister).  It took the whole 9 months of my pregnancy to find everything but I am proud to say that I was able to find 90% of what I needed made in Canada. 
What has been most difficult is finding clothing for our son that is made in Canada and  does not cost an arm and a leg.  I am sad to say that as of yet I have not been able to find a great clothing line made in Canada that is affordable. 
In the last year I have been able to find 85% of what I need for my baby made in either Canada or the USA.  I have included a few links to some of my favorite products and places to shop for all my baby's needs.
