CARE BEARS RELEASE
'Love is what makes a bear hug magical'
I was 5 years old when Care Bears made their debut on TV. They were every 80's girls favourite toy! I had Love-A-Lot Bear and loved her very much.
So come with me to Care-a-lot where the land is made up of clouds and rainbows, from where they watch over the feelings of all the children around the world.
My Care Bears release consists of x4 handmade items:
* Scrunchie Key Fobs
* XL Scrunchies
* Lavender Eye Pillows
* XL Rice & Lavender Heat Packs
They would make the perfect gift for a Care Bears lover like me.
Upcoming Market Days
You’ll find Handmade Mum popping up at local markets across Waikato, Bay of Plenty, and lower Auckland regions – bringing handmade goodness straight to you! I’m usually out and about at Sunday markets, but as the festive season rolls in, you’ll catch me on Saturdays too. Keep an eye on this space for upcoming market dates.
I’d love to say hi, have a chat, and share the joy of all things handmade with you!
