IAK Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 OOOOHHHH Greg...a Beacon Hill. I just started it today and it looks to be a fun build. Which one are you going to build next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hallowell Posted March 10, 2007 Author Share Posted March 10, 2007 Maybe the Westville or the Glencroft. I'll have room to build them now bwcause our tenants are moving out in three weeks and we will have the other half of our duplex for us also. Plenty of room for lots of houses until Russ' mom move in later this year, but I'm still gonna snag one of her bedrooms for my dollhouse room.

Hallowell Posted March 10, 2007 Author Share Posted March 10, 2007 Congrats on the Willowcrest, I was gonna bid on it last night but chickened out at the last minute because I thought it was gonna go for a lot more. Congrats on a great buy at a great price, I'm glad someone here got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hallowell Posted March 11, 2007 Author Share Posted March 11, 2007 Margarita, all I can say is WOW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovecats Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Margarita, all I can say is WOW it looks like alot when you make a list most are in the basement, but i have one kit here int he office, some in the spare bedroom, some in the family room. I've looked around the house, i can fit alot of small houses in spaces and about 4-5 more med sized in the bedroom ...don't know about the big kits! It's an addiction and hobby to collect the kits. It's my enjoyment to do this since i don't have kids it's not a big deal. I have more on my wishlist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hallowell Posted March 11, 2007 Author Share Posted March 11, 2007 I also like to collect them even though they sit in boxes, they are all over the house, and I have a wish list a mile long. Yikes. Just knowing I have them is pleasure for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missymew Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Aren't these lists what dreams are made of? This thread is like a treasure trove. It's exciting to know that so many of us share this passion. Sports fans love their sport stats ... here we love our dollhouses. -Susanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grazhina Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 tsk tsk tsk... And I felt guilty because I was taking so long to finish the Bungalow and the remodel of Amos Gooch's cottage. tsk Well, I feel better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Well, don't I feel like a newb....HAHA I have just oneThat's because the "right" house hasn't caught your eye yet and started speaking to you. When it happens, be warned, it won't leave you alone until you get it!I feel completely justified in buying one now.What justification? Unless it's a choice between your family going homeless, naked & hungry or another kit, you don't need to justify it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chattycathy66 Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Greg, I couldn't believe I won the Willowcrest--I had been watching it for the past 4 days or so...I waited until 6 min before the auction ended before I bid, so I wouldn't "bid up the price"...up until that point there was only 1 bid.( I hate that it will have to sit and wait to be worked on, but I'm happy I got it now.) I was really worried I was going to wind up in a bidding war....who knew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hallowell Posted March 11, 2007 Author Share Posted March 11, 2007 :hide: Hi Cathy, you almost had a bidding war with me. LOL. But I'm so glad you got it. I'm watching so many houses right now that having to wait a little longer to get this kit will not kill me. :yes: When you do get around to building it we'll be needing pictures, we love the I candy.

jeninky Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Margarita WOW!!!! You go!! hehehehe Must be true, the person with the most toys wins??? Greg! I am with you 100%, I feel so good just knowing the kits are here even though they are in boxes! hehehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 I was going to count Marg's kits, but my brain got tired and then my calculator started to spit blue sparks. :hide: Now that's a collection that is nothing less than awe inspiring. Lemme think.........in the box I have a Pierce, a Haunted House, two or three Orchids, an RGT front opening shoppe, the houseboat and a Beacon Hill. There's a Willowcrest on the table now and the BH is next up. Now that I think about it, I realize I haven't added any kits in quite awhile. I gotta do something about that!!!! My stash is dwindling!
