Handmade children's item may become a thing of the past. While we do not currently have children, we were looking forward to purchasing toys and clothes from mothers who run their own small businesses and wood toys from years past. But new legislation is threatening this. I'm not asking for you to make phone calls or write letters (I know that these things take time), but please spend the moment to vote on the President Elect's site (https://www.change.org/ideas/view/save_handmade_toys_from_the_cpsia).
If you feel strongly about this, you can find more information here:

This legislation was intended for good and will keep many children safe. But the unintended victims (sellers of homemade toys and handmade clothing) will be severely crushed.
Thank you.
