Hand Made Toy Alliance
Thursday, June 4, 2009 at 12:22PM Supporting small batch children's apparel, toy, and accessory makers
We are so excited that the Hand Made Toy Alliance is here to stay. Read below for the details of how they began and what their mission is. We joined in with them last year when the whole CPSIA nightmare began. There is power in numbers. I believe that the efforts put forth by the women in this organization were leaders in getting the "STAY" in place.
There is more work to be done......Blessed Nest is proud to be teaming up as a member of the Hand Made Toy Alliance~
"Back in 2008, after learning that the future of handmade children's products was threatened by the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA), we reached out to you as fellow citizens. It was our hope that if enough people became aware of the situation, together we could keep handmade toys, clothing, and other wonderful products for children legal, and available in the United States. About 15,000 people signed our petition, and many of you have worked hard to spread the word. Thanks to you, Congress has heard loud and clear that Americans do not want our crafters and cottage industries to disappear!"
We represent ALL small batch children's product manufacturers--not just toys. If you are a business owner who makes, imports, or sells small-batch children's items including toys, clothing, books, or baby care goods, we urge you to join us! We are a 501(c)(6) Business Association. Membership dues may be deductible as a business expense.
With Membership there are many benefits as well as allowing us to continue to keep wonderful toys in the hands of kids! Some of the benefits include:

I've made this jam before, it's delicious!
We've been doing a lot research lately about having a self-sustaining homestead. We live in an apartment right now while we're out of state for hubby's job, so it's just in the planning stage at the moment, but I definitely understand the dream!
