I'm sure some of you super crafters, knitters, and seamstresses already know of this site, but I just found it recently. Etsy. It's a site where crafters sell their handmade products. In toys alone today there were over 500 pages. A lot of the prices seem very reasonable. I'm sure some of these crafters use chinese products in their crafts, but at least it's handmade and not mass produced.

Just thought I would pass this along for anyone interested.

Great site

I'm going to make a huge effort not to buy so much stuff from China, especially toys, from here on out.
