I hope you are going to get your new tea set out and have a teaparty in honour of Girl's Day and Doll Festival! I think it's essential to protect children from ingesting toxic chemicals, so I do support the legislation.... but it sure does make life difficult for craftspeople.... Have a wonderful time making new little dolls and toys! Thank you so much, Carolee!

I like the idea of doll festival and tea partys, didnt know about such a celebration. I just purchased a tea set, barbie size. I read about the fact you cant paint or varnish the spoolknitters sent to the US. I found out from the owner of a thrift store I like to go to she cant sell stuffed animals or baby clothes any more because they have to be tested for lead. She said she was going to pack those items up and let the big chain thrift stores fight that battel. what a shame I have gotten some of the cuteset toys from thrift stores. I throw them all in the washing machine and if they make it through yippie!! I have only had one that fell apart in the wash. well even more reason to make some of your cute spoolknitted dolls (even with veggie heads) hehe thanks for your continuing posts.
