Made In OKLAHOMA!

Have you noticed that I have added a list of links to other Oklahomans who have Etsy Shops? I had to share my secret...Oklahoma has some the most talented artists living in it. I have lived in the great state of Oklahoma all of my life and as much as I love to travel, I am always happy to get back to my home.



Maybe you didn't know....

• Oklahoma's state capitol is the only one in the world with an oil well drilled beneath it.


• Oklahoma is the 3rd largest gas producing state in the nation.


• Pawhuska, OK had the first Boy Scout troop in America (1909).


• Sylvan Goldman of OK created the first rolling supermarket cart.


• The first parking meter was created in OK and installed in OK City in 1935.


• OK is the winter quarters for more circuses than any other state.

You would be amazed at the talent that has come from the state of Oklahoma. To name just a few....

• Garth Brooks - Musician


• Reba McEntire - Musician


• James Garner - Actor


• Brad Pitt - Actor


• S.E. Hinton - Author


• Toby Keith - Musician


• Carrie Underwood - American Idol Winner


• Ron Howard - Actor/Director


• Chuck Norris - Martial Artist/Actor


• Will Rogers - Humorist

The list of famous Oklahomans could go on and on, but for every Oklahoman you have heard about, there are many more that we haven't had the opportunity to see their beautiful work. The Oklahomans on Etsy are a perfect example. So...take a look at their shops. You will see why we are so proud to say that something is Made in Oklahoma.

JoJo

What a Cutie!!! Jojo is my newest little friend from way up North in Canada. Her Mom was so nice to send pictures of her in her little Jackolantern Dress. To get an idea of how small Jojo is, she is wearing one of my XX-Small Dresses. The neck is only 7 inches, the girth 7 1/2 inches and the length is 6 inches.
