Are YOU searching for a lost toy?

Check Our Own Plush Animals & Soft Dolls CATALOG, or CONTACT US

Maybe we've already FOUND one just like one you need. See what people are SEARCHING for. If you have one of these toys, or know where they can get one, please help these families out!

I read each request, do the initial search, request additional information and photos, and edit most of the photos. Often I do find the lovie, so those requests never show up on this blog. I answer each comment or email that comes in about a posted request, act as a go-between to link people who can help with those who need help, and add new requests as soon as I can. Due to health problems I got way behind posting requests, so now I am trying to stay current with requests and gradually catch up on the older requests.

I can't adequately thank all of you who search for all these lovies I do post about. I get the ball rolling, but YOU are the ones who make this site work!!

Wonderfully Happy Ending to Our Search for the Yellow "YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE" Elephant!!!!

We have several people who are looking for this particular elephant, but this has to be one of the best stories anybody could imagine. You will have to go back and read the original request now, before you read the ending.

One of our readers told me when the elephant went on eBay, and I wrote Greg. He won it! I wrote him yesterday, to find out how Christmas turned out, and here's his reply:


You Are My Sunshine Yellow Elephant
Rosemary, it went better than I could have ever hoped! We put the kids to bed, and put all the Christmas presents under the tree. When we were finally ready to go to bed, I waited until she left the room to change.

I put it under the tree and wound it up. She came into the room, stopped, tried to find out where the sound was coming from. When she approached the tree and picked it up, she couldn't believe what she had in her hands!

As she turned around, I was standing there with the ring, and asked her to marry me! I think she was overloaded and didn't know what to do! She immediately threw her arms around me and muttered a teary "YES!!". It melted my heart to see her happy, and that entire week she broke into tears at the drop of a hat. :)

I'm certain that I've found the person I was meant to be with forever.

Thanks again for all your help in creating a lifetime memory for my soon-to-be wife and I to cherish forever.

Love,
Greg

This is a great ending to the search. I wondered if the young man ever found the elephant. What a lovely proposal!

I had asked him to email me after Christmas, but I couldn't wait any longer to see how it all went. I think he's going to be a good hubby, don't you?
