Hello, I am currently working on a new business venture and was wondering how many of you out there would be interested in a website with both information and baby/childrens' products the environmentally aware, nature lovers & pagans/those following a nature based spiritual path?

With (for example) news of country wide events, fair trade, organic & magical toys and books for all ages... Items and tips for encouraging nature play... Eco baby products... etc... Any parents or parents to be who could spare a moment to drop me a line I with you thoughts and ideas I would be ever so grateful.

Bright blessings on you and all your little ones xx

I would be interested in the ecological side and events in my area (especially free ones!) I would be less interested in the pagan things but don't mind a bit of magic. Wouldn't be interested in baby wish boxes etc.

I would be interested in the toys and books if they were good and not too expensive. Unfortunately Eco things have a tendency to be more expensive and on a limited budget it's hard not to go for the garish plastic shit instead Smile
