Save Children's Handmade Items

Congress is about to pass a new law that requires all manufacturers, sellers, of children's items to have their items tested. For small businesses, like myself, where most of our products are one-of-a-kind, this will close our doors. Testing would be cost prohibitive. I am all for making sure our items are safe for our kiddos, but for those of us who use natural materials and buy our supplies locally, and try to provide safe, handmade goods as an alternative to mass produced items, this is a blow. Vote here to have this law amended for small businesses!

I voted a few weeks ago and posted a similar post on my blog, thank you so much! I also sell and was told that the new Pres put a hold on the new law for a few months.
