I loved “The Borrowers” too. I also always wanted a doll house
and never had one.
“The Borrowers” allowed me to make use of shoe boxes and bits
and pieces from around the house to make my own “Borrowers”
residence. My creativity was applauded in my family but I never
did get a real doll house.

I say get yourself a doll house right now. I always wanted one
as a child too, and when I turned 40 my husband built me one. I
had more fun decorating and furnishing it! Go for it! As they
say--you don't stop playing because you get old, you get old
because you stop playing.

They also say, it's never too late to have a happy childhood!!

Last night my husband lost the remote. He turned on the tv and
sat down on the sofa. Poof gone! I found it in the kitchen
despite the fact that neither one of us had actually gotten up
once he turned the show on...

[/quote]As the person below you said, Get your doll house now!
My sister and I DID have a doll house growing up, in fact, we
had two. Someone gave us the first one and we left the second
one a relative gave us at our grandparents. They were the metal
ones and we'd get plastic furniture for them whenever we could
talk my mother into a room full. I wanted to get one later and
refurbish it but they were in a shed at my grandparents and
rusted bad. I should have gotten one anyway and refurbished.
My late husband bought me a small log cabin kit and the kits for
the furniture before he died. They are all still on a shelf
where I put them when I moved back here 2 years after he died. I
was just working all the time and at first, it would hurt too
much thinking about putting it together since he wasn't there to
help me and cheer me on.
Several years ago, I found "The Columbian" doll house VERY cheap
at a thrift store, I grabbed it! It is only a 4 room but for
that price, who cares! I did recently buy some accessories for
it on clearance at Hobby Lobby. AND not on clearance, I bought a
treadle sewing machine for it! I learned to sew on my
great-grandmother's treadle because my mother would NOT let me
touch her Pfaff until I mastered the treadle! It was also the
sewing machine that SHE learned to sew on too!
Since my current husband and I recently retired (but do
substitute teach), I hope to have time soon! Except that I am
doing craft shows this summer and don't have as much time yet!
I do have some ceramic molds (I used to do a lot of ceramics and
still have everything) for dishes and other things, like flower
pots, etc, for the doll house. Not to mention that I've had
patterns for upholstered doll furniture for many many years!
Go for it!

I had a pair of tongs that lived on the kitchen counter to hit
the silent button on the smoke detector as the smoke detector
was too close to the kitchen and the toaster would set it off.
(The bread was barely toasted, but the smoke detector was going
off like crazy!) One day, I noticed the tongs were gone and I
couldn't find them anywhere. Only myself and the pup live in
the house but parents are occasionally around so I chalked it up
to my dad accidentally taking them home when they brought some
stuff over for a bbq.
It's been about 6 months but it motivated me to move the smoke
detector down the hall and now the toaster no longer sets it
off. (Woo Hoo!) Yesterday morning, when I opened the fridge
door, there are the tongs, sitting on top of the fridge, hanging
over the front of the fridge! I swear the gremlin in my house
was getting tired of the smoke detector scaring the pup and
forced me to do something about it! ;)

I'm bringing this thread back because this happened yesterday. I
had a can of fruit flavored Tootie Rolls and was down to the
last two. Orange and lemon. I ate the orange on Thursday, so
that left the lemon with the light yellow wrapper. I distinctly
remember the yellow wrapper to save for last. Yesterday, I took
the last one out and it was cherry in a dark red wrapper. I
would never save cherry for last because it's my least liked
flavor.

A couple years back I ordered a set of fancy tea mugs with lids,
one green and one yellow. When the package arrived I examined
and admired both of them, then chose the yellow one to use
first. When I wanted to use the green one I opened the cupboard
but there was no green one, only a second yellow mug. I
distinctly remember ordering and receiving one yellow and one
green, but I guess it didn't stay that way in the cabinet, lol.

I posted in another thread about my little MP3 player going
missing, then finding it again 3 months later, in a place I KNOW
I did not put it (underwear drawer). Either I have a poltergeist
or I'm sleepwalking. And no, I do not fold laundry and put it in
the drawer in a stack, I put each piece in one at a time, so it
didn't get caught up in that.

These are great stories. It gives me hope that maybe my
Hawaiian slipper necklace will re-appear from wherever it went a
couple of years ago. I kept it on my nightstand next to my bed
and at some point during the Pandemic, it disappeared. There
had been nobody in the house except us and a few family members
so we were fairly sure it wasn't taken by, say, a visiting
worker. I have searched the entire house multiple times,
checked our safe, my jewelry box, drawers in various pieces of
furniture, you name it, with no luck. It can't be under the bed
since the bed frame goes all the way to the carpet and there is
no space under it. I'm wondering if I replace it, it will
suddenly turn up. My husband and I have a trip planned to
another city 2 hours away where the store is that sells the
necklace. Maybe someday I'll have two...:-)

I had some incidents lately.
(1) I have been teaching some quilling classes lately. For my
first class, I took some examples to show the wide variety of
things you can do. But I could not find my box of flowers.
Nowhere. I did have lots of examples so no big deal, but still,
what did I do with them? I did take a chunk of styrofoam that my
laptop was packed with to show that odd everyday objects can be
great tools (I use it to pin my designs in place as I glue
them). Now a month later, I cannot find the styrofoam even
though I distinctly remember unpacking it at home after the
class. And the box of flowers is right where it always has been.
Grrr!
(2) On our knife block, the filet knife disappeared about a
month ago. Then last week, the paring knife also disappeared.
While looking for the paring knife, my sister pulled open the
silverware drawer, and there was the filet knife. So, how did we
not see the filet knife when it was just lying there as plain as
day for a month? Still no paring knife, unfortunately.
Now, obviously, I was stressing about teaching these classes and
I would bet that has probably led me to set things down in odd
places and not see things I am looking directly at. But lordy, I
wish I could find my things!

A couple of years ago I had my bathroom remodeled. It was the
perfect opportunity to clean out the bathroom drawers and
cabinets. I put the special stuff I wanted to keep in one of my
bedroom dresser drawers. All of the stuff in the same drawer. I
can picture myself doing this. It was basically a junk drawer
(special odds-n-ends and keepsakes) that wasn't very cluttered,
and I didn't open it all that often.
Fast forward to my DD#1's wedding. I brought her into my room
for a private chat and I wanted to give her something that I
thought she would treasure and maybe wear at her wedding. It was
her grandmothers wedding ring in a small velvet box that I moved
from one of my bathroom drawers to this special junk drawer.
Again, in my mind, I KNEW it was there, in that specific drawer.
Imagine my shock and embarrassment when I could not find the
ring box! I emptied the drawer (everything else was there),
looked through everything, apologized to my daughter and life
went on.
It puzzled me and every once in a while, I looked through the
drawer again, checked my nightstand, all drawers in both
dressers, the closet and just couldn't figure out what on earth
I did with it! Dreadfully thought that maybe it somehow got
mixed in with things I threw out.
I even almost suspected the construction crew of maybe taking
it, but that didn't make sense because there was also a small
silver jewelry box (that contained several nice pieces of
jewelry) in that drawer. Why would someone just take the ring
box and not anything else?
Almost two years later, after my DD#2 moved out, I went to box
up some of her things from the top shelf in my bathroom cabinet
so that she could clutter her own cabinets instead of mine LOL.
And I took out one of those small mixing bowls that stylists use
to mix hair dye.
I stepped back in amazement, almost dropped the bowl . . .
inside the bowl was the velvet ring box. WHAAAT?!?! How did it
get from my drawer to the top shelf of my bathroom cabinet?
Inside a mixing bowl?
It's a puzzle to me, but thankfully the ring was found.
