"Not sure how the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) is going to affect toys like this one in the very near future, a new law that would require prohibitively expensive testing and labeling for children's products that is sure to have devastating effects on small businesses like this one. In the meantime, I'm trying to stock up the nursery with as many beautiful handmade items as I can find."

Congrats to littlealouette, who made the lovely wooden hippo referred to in dooce's post today!)
