<h2>Who Writes Vermont&#8217;s Green Furniture Blog?</h2>
<p>There&#8217;s a lot of creative energy at <a title="Vermont Green Furniture Blog" href="http://vermontwoodsstudios.com">Vermont Woods Studios</a> these days and happily we have a number of talented writers who are willing to share our daily goings on through this green furniture blog.  Pictured above are <a title="Heather Barrett, Marketing Assistant at Vermont Woods Furniture" href="http://vermontwoodsstudios.com/blog/author/heather-barrett/" target="_blank">Heather Barrett</a> (left) of Brattleboro VT and <a title="Loryn Dion, Acting Webmaster and Marketing Assistant at Vermont Fine Furniture" href="http://vermontwoodsstudios.com/blog/author/loryn-dion/" target="_blank">Loryn Dion</a> (right) of Northfield MA who work long and hard on many aspects of our Vermont furniture store, including keeping you up to date on the latest office shenanigans.</p>
<h2>Holiday Hot Topic: Made in America Christmas Shopping Challenge</h2>
<p>The photo above was taken Friday at our &#8220;Made in America&#8221; Secret Santa party where each of us gave and received American made Christmas gifts.  It&#8217;s part of our <a title="Made in America Holiday Shopping Challenge" href="http://vermontwoodsstudios.com/content/made-in-america-holiday-shopping-challenge-2012">Made in America Holiday Shopping Challenge</a> (we figure with Americans spending about $586 Billion this holiday season, if all of those gifts were made in America it could generate 5.8 million jobs.  OK we know that not every gift can or should be made in America, but still shopping &#8220;American made&#8221; can create a lot of jobs).</p>
<h2>Not Just Red, White and Blue&#8211; Green Too!</h2>
<p>Anyway, if you want to follow these two creative writers you&#8217;ll find their contributions right here every week.  Besides keeping us up to date on American made Christmas gift ideas, Heather tends to blog about green furniture, Vermont Travel and all things adventurous and exciting in the Green Mountain state.  Loryn&#8217;s been keeping her focus on Green decor and interior design but you never know what kind of provocative topics she might wander off into.</p>
<p>To stay in touch with Heather and Loryn, subscribe to this blog on the top right or join their conversations on <a title="Vermont's Green Furniture Store is on Facebook" href="http://www.facebook.com/VermontWoodsStudios" target="_blank">Facebook</a>.  And keep a look out for insider secrets from their newly recruited accomplice, <a title="Liz Francese, Sales and Customer Service at Vermont Woods Furniture" href="http://vermontwoodsstudios.com/blog/author/liz/" target="_blank">Liz Francese</a> who&#8217;ll be taking you on occasional trips behind the veil at Vermont Woods Studios Sales and Customer Service.  More about Liz coming soon!</p>
