I've been collecting hello kitty & related Sanrio items since I was very young.  But since Hello Kitty was very rare where I lived growing up, I had to put that addiction to rest for awhile.  I tried and tried to find stuff but there wasn't much.

At this time, I didn't have much money and I wasn't online (nor was I old enough to be or even to have a credit card) so I couldn't find her as much as I've been able to find her now.  Hello Kitty has only gotten more and more popular since I've gotten older.

Near where I lived, there used to be a Sanrio store there for the longest time and then it turned into the Learning Express which later closed due no one going there.  It was in a terrible location which is rather stupid if you ask me to put it where it was but whatever.

Since it closed, I had been looking more hello kitty items but it was very hard.  Now adays, you can go into Target, Walmart, Rite Aid or pretty much any place and see at least 1 or 2 things that are HK/Sanrio related.  I prefer finding things at Target in the $1 section, it's awesome when you find something in there it's like a treasure.

However, I'm like those all girls that want all those shiny, expensive, materialistic jewelry wanting girls or those girls that want those expensive HK jewelry.  No I don't like jewelry much in less it's the "kiddie" stuff that I've seen around.  Not saying that I hate those girls, no I don't but I just don't want to be like them.  I prefer the simpler things in life instead of wanting all that stuff.  I'm a huge dollar store person so going there is my pleasure in life.

That's why finding HK in Target in the $1 section is so much better for me.  I do like going to Sanrio stores but not the chains as much. Why do you ask that?  Well they don't have good deals like the smaller stores that sell her.  It's rather a huge disappointment to me to go there and not get much of anything for deals.  I prefer Target, you can always get better prices there for HK stuff too.  However, I'm not saying that I hate Sanrio stores just wish that they would come down on their prices more that way little girls who they're main target audience is would be able to afford more cute and adorable things.

Please don't think that I'm dashing HK because I'm not.  I adore just as much as the next girl or even more than they do.  I have a huge collection that one day I hope to display in my room of only her.  I do like a few other characters but I really like HK the most.

Well I hope that you enjoyed this & my little introduction.  I will document my HK searching for you from time to time.

Take care all.
