I should tell you about TROLLS.

Monkey queen

I bought my first monkey in 1991 from a toystore that is never more. It just happened. It looked good. He was a cuddly toy gorilla, we named her Tonkka, and he used to travel with us in science fiction and comic book cons. He is too old for that nowadays, beaten up face, but he is still a king in this household. Since then there has been many apes that have come to this household. Lots we have bought, and lots people have gave us. Luckily our friends know which kind of cuddly toys we like. Eyes are one of the important things about them. I like when they have wise eyes, not ones which look too cheap, ugly.

These two monkeys moved here yesterday. Look at those eyes, you can look them and see eternity and their souls.

Forest creatures

Trolls. Little, big. Cute. There is something about them. But. Trolls that mean something to me are mainly vintage, made in 1960s or 1970s. Soft. Soft hair, there are ones made from reindeer hair, they are not for me. I like them to be softies. Finnish company Fauni made the best looking trolls, but there are other makers too. This one you see in the troll forest was made by Fauni in 1960s. It used to belong to a stranger who had it for over 40 yrs, I have no idea why he wanted to give it away. Maybe the silliness went away, maybe he finally felt he is adult enough.

I like this toy. It is big, but it is quite handy too. You can use it as a pillow, it looks fun. And... it is soft!

In this blog I try to tell you about little and bigger toys/items/silliness I own. The reason for them. The reason why I like them.

Short stories, I'm not telling company histories, just telling you why. Ok?? Happy for that??
