buying used, saving the difference??


no more it seems.. no more work at home moms making stuff and selling it to put food on the table..
This new Law will put an end to thrift stores, consignment stores and small business who who sell children's products, clothes and toys.
i am devastated. i buy used, i buy handmade. i don't think many families could survive without thrift stores. And, from the prospective of having been a small business owner years ago (making and selling children's clothes, shoes and baby slings)i can begin to imagine how detrimental this will be for all those parents who do the same.
I feel sick over this really...

I live at thrift stores,consign stores and yardsales,and buy handmade all the time.We save so much $ this way,as well as its recycling and less wasteful.I understand safety issues,but thats likely only a small amount of items,so their going to landfill the rest?How dumb.I really am in shock over this.
