When I was a little girl,I lived down the street from my aunt and uncle, who had a daughter named Candy, just a few months older than myself. My aunt was a successful real estate agent, and would take my cousin Candy and I with her to check out properties, locations, and do errands with us in tow. Of course, Dairy Queen was always a must on the list of "To Do's". What great memories I have of those days and going on these little adventures.
My sweet father worked very hard to support our family, my mom was a SAHM, which gave us a very tight budget. My cousin Candy always had the latest record albums (boy, that dates me), clothes, and toys, and not to mention she had a pair of white 'go-go boots'. The only time I got toys, was for Christmas and birthdays, so when these troll dolls came out, I didn't have any. My cousin on the other hand had quite a few. When we would go with my aunt, we would sit in the back seat of her newest fancy Cadillac, playing ,eating and listening to the radio. as we drove along. Good times, good times. I so remember playing with these troll dolls in that back seat with my cousin. I loved these little trolls.
Well, on one of my usual thrift store haunts on Tuesday's I spotted these, and yes I bought all three of them. Since I am a redhead, I kept the wild red-haired one for me. I'm not sure what I'll do with the bigger one with purple hair, but I am sending my sweet cousin the blue-haired one. These are in the original packages, and as you can see they were only $2.99 each. FINALLY, I have my own Treasure Troll!
