Love your blog! Nice shop also!
Hear, Hear! Drop by my blog today for a visit, won't you? Kathy
yeah this issue gets me fired up big time. I heard that Obama is putting a halt to all legislation put thru at the end of the Bush administration or something...so he will review each piece and go from there...this law is among those that will be halted. This is what I hear today. Seems like every day there is new stuff about this law coming out. From what I know they HAVE deemed natural products OK like cotton and wool and stones...you know stuff from the earth or whatever. So that helps.
I get mad about this a lot cause it may mean I cant buy handmade for my sweet baby. I dont buy her commercial toys, I buy her handmade...well except for that Yo Gabba Gabba guy but he is the ONLY exception LOL
True, this is something that affects so many people, myself included. Not sure what will happen with my business as I am a maker of little girl hair accessories. Hopefully, something will be done that will save handmade!
I've tagged you for a meme game I hope you'll come by my blog and check it out.
Have a great weekend! ~MaryMarsh
