Leave it to the darn CPSIA to help us discover a ton of wonderful artisans thinking about calling it quits on February 10th thanks to the new toy testing regulations.
Such is the case for Kristen Dirmeier, musician and artist, who hand creates the most adorable stuffed elephants. Using sweet, colorful fabrics, each elephant’s tail can be personalized really beautifully for your little one. It’s a subtle touch that makes giving or getting a stuffed animal extra special.
Sadly, Kristen is closing shop soon (unless we can convince her not to) so make sure to snag one of these beautiful handmade toys while you can. And let’s hope that Congress comes to their senses, we’ll bring her right back into business. -Kristen
