Like so many of you I am relieved that 2008 is over and excited for the possibilities of 2009. Our holidays were filled with lots of love and lots of family. We ended the year by taking the kids to the snow near Yosemite. It was so beautiful and the air was so clean {I live in the smoggy central valley}. It goes without saying that I did not complete the tasks on my resolution list that I made last year. I have a whole new year now to start over and try my list again. Wish me luck.
On a business note...I will be shutting down my children's resale store. A new law that will take effect February 10, 2009 will make it impossible for me and so many others to stay in business. The law aims at protecting children from products containing lead and other harmful substances, but the law is vague and will affect the resale, thrift and handmade business. Please click on this link or on one of the buttons on my sidebar to read about this law and what you can do to help save handmade toys and clothing for your children. There are many other resale shop owners who are going to stick it out and fight and they have my support all the way. I have made a personal choice to focus on my etsy shop and I hope you will come by and visit often.
