I collect trolls and Pez and pin-back buttons
and "The
Night Before Christmas" books. I love them all, but trolls
are my passion!!! At this time I have approximately 4000!!!
Trolls became popular in the 1960's, when Thomas Dam
carved one from wood for his child. It was very popular
with the child's friends...thus, a dynasty was born!
I began to collect in 1993, when my mother gave me one
for Christmas. It brought back such wonderful memories from
my childhood...and, because I was going through a divorce
at that time, I guess I needed all the happy memories I
could get! Whatever the reason, I began to collect! And,
approximately 4000 trolls later, I'm sharing them with you!
I hope you enjoy them!!
I also found a really cool picture of some older
PEZ...I
would love to have any of these guys!! My PEZ collectin is
not all that large...around 200. I love PEZ, but they are
so expensive!!! They are coming out with some cool remakes
that I can afford...and since I mainly collect to please
myself, not for investment, that suits me just fine! I just
recently purchased a remake of Meuslix, an old man
character that I have wanted for a long time, and he looks
just as cute as the pictures I've seen of the original!
Next is the Psychedelic Eye-a really bizarre dispenser of a
hand holding an eyeball! I don't think anybody could call
that one cute!
