A rainbow pony surrounded by 3 PLUSH Care Bears
I had 2 homemade stuffed Care Bears and a little Friend Bear that was a plushie kinda, she wasn't very soft, she was filled with shells or something weird. I have NO idea where those guys are these days, I'd really love to find that Friend Bear...
So I figured, "that'll be easy, I'll just go down to the shops and take a photo of the Care Bears there!" I figured I'd try Target first, their toys are up the back and a bit secluded, so it might be easy to get a pic before anyone saw me. I went to Target, looked all around the toy section and couldn't find the Care Bears!! I found them across the main aisle, out in the open. They didn't have many left. There were people around... so I retreated to K-mart, I knew that had some, they were near the Lay By counter but I figured it'd be okay. All I found at K-mart was an empty box where the beanie care bears should be and no large plushies. They must have sold out!!
So I went to my third option, which I had considered going to first, I should have just gone there. That was the Toyworld just down the road. Yep, they had Care Bears. The woman there asked if she could help me so I told her about the hunt. She was like "yeah sure go ahead take your photo." So I did and chatted to her a bit about care bears and ponies and stuff.
