A few days ago, I was browsing gumtree (as I'm sure you can relate), and I found a listing for the Old Oak Hollow Treehouse in Edinburgh for - wait for it - £20. It's in pretty great nick as far as I can tell, apart from a missing parasol (and possibly a missing door... I'm not certain...). I faced a dilemma. Stupidly perhaps, I told my mum, and she told me that I really don't have enough space left for something as huge as that. So I considered, and I came across a rather painful, but true revelation: If I was to buy it, it would only propel me to NEED to buy more furniture, new things. I ought to focus on what I have, and finishing the incomplete parts of my already existing village, instead of constructing an empty shell of a town.
This is totally not a cool decision to have to make, but there. I decided to decline a very tempting opportunity to get my dream building.
I'm not sure whether anything could heal this wound, except perhaps if a mint in box treehouse came floating my way free of charge, and somehow my bedroom grew another square metre...
*I'm off to cry with my new found maturity*
I so feel for you, I kind of have the same problem. I want to have more space for my sylvanians =( But find no place were it fits in. =( =( =( But lets be positive, I hope you get your dream bulding someday =)

One day we'll live in huge houses, with separate rooms for the sylvanians! Thanks, and you too!
DeleteIt really is a pity with the building! I know this problem too. But one day you will for sure have more space and then you can get it! :)
ReplyDeleteHopefully, one day! Thank you :)

ReplyDeleteOh no! I'm so sorry! :( But it is good that you excersised your self control - and I'm sure another treehouse will 'pop-up' when you have the space for it! :D
ReplyDeleteHopefully! And thank you :) x
DeleteI feel sorry for what you had to experience but I know how it feels, been there myself. I think your chance of coming across another treehouse will eventually come. One in better shape and with more to offer. Having collected for a while now and I have always seen other offers in the long run so have faith :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm dreadfully impatient, so I guess this is a good life lesson!
DeleteOne of great strength indeed, I fear that someday I will run into this problem. I am currently overwhelmed with SF things at the moment and yet I still find myself bidding on more on Ebay. I think you made the right decision, and I'm sure another one will come around sometime. :)
