Treasury West!

Haven't grabbed a treasury on etsy.com in a while, but managed to today. Was in the mind of green grass and spring. Aaahhh yes, there are more winter days ahead, but I can dream. I think it was because most of our snow has melted, it was a warm day, and it just felt like spring was coming. But Colorado weather has a way of saying 'ha ha, not yet!"

Enjoy the treasury: http://www.etsy.com/treasury_list_west.php?room_id=41709

New CPSIA news!

Yea! There is a suspension of the law! Of course, this isn't the end of it, just a 'stay of execution' so to speak. We are still liable but not currently required to have the testing done. We'll see how this all unfolds over the course of the year. Below is from http://www.buyhandmade.org/ and http://www.etsy.com/.

We are so excited to announce that the Commission has voted for a "Stay of Enforcement of Certain Testing and Certification Requirements of CPSIA" — which means that they are proposing a 1 year suspension of the burden of lead testing and certification while they take more time to review the rules and plan enforcement! All of your hard work is paying off (for the time being at least!). You wouldn't have to pay to do the certification and testing, though you are still liable if your products are found to have lead. We are so pleased that artisans and vintage sellers got their voices heard. Your hard work is not over; we must continue to play a role in advocating for small business people throughout the coming year.

"The action taken today provides breathing space to get in place some of the rules needed for implementation, but it should not be viewed as a full solution to the many problems that have been raised." —U.S. Consumer product Safety Commission
