james dean Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 So I went to see my bro's new house yesterday and when we were leaving the neighborhood what did I see in one of the opened garages: a dollhouse. It looked like a good sized house. But there it was sitting at the front of their garage. I almost wanted to jump out of the car and ask them if I could have it. I haven't ever seen a house sitting in the garage (not in Houston anyway). The house looked kinda like this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bee Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 honestly, i wouldn't. there are a dozen or more reasons why someone could have a dollhouse sitting in her attached garage. maybe someone just dropped it off for the homeowner or is coming by to pick it up later or the owner just brought it out of a dirty basement or she is finding space in the garage for the kids to play with it. for a total stranger to be looking into her property and speculating about acquiring what he sees there could creep her out. just have your brother watch out for it being taken to the curb.

Bee Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 me and my poor reading comprehension! you were just fantasizing about what if the owner wanted to get rid of that! well, if wishes were houses... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovecats Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 One of my neighbors has a pretty dollhouse sitting in the garage. I kept seeing it because the garage door is up alot and where their house sits you can see into their garage as you are turning the corner. So one day i figured what the heck and I stopped and asked if it was for sale. Unfortunately it wasn't. I met some nice neighbors tho!

tcmorrison Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Definitely have your brother keep his eyes open for you. It looks like you saw a neat dollhouse, and a large one. We would all be excited by that. Bee, I don't think your reading comprehension is bad. I read it the exact same way you did. And I agree with you. The people who live there are probably nice, but if they're not...who knows what could happen. And I'd be afraid to try a direct approach in a big city like Houston. However, I would not be above trying an indirect approach maybe later, like fall, when it cools off, off taking "walks" in your brother's neighborhood and seeing if you can't catch them outside, or just when you drive by if they're outside. You never know...you might end up with a cool dollhouse or a great new mini-friend. Terri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james dean Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 Sorry for the confusion. I know sometimes I type faster than I can think. I was just suprised with seeing a dollhouse in someone's garage more than the possibility of asking the owner's to have it (although getting a free/cheaper dollhouse would be nice, but I'm not getting my hopes up).

tcmorrison Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I know that feeling too. It just seems sometimes that we are the only one we know in our area who is into minis. Wait a minute, forget the seems that way, for me, for a long time it was that way. Now I have found someone on this forum in my area. She's moving a couple of hours away, but I know we will still be friends and will meet soon. Terri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I would go over and introduce myself as a miniaturist who is delighted to find someone who shares the "bug". Also, ask if it's a Worthington. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
