I have spoken to my sisters and they think it may have been sold but nobody seems to know for sure. I have yet to hear from my youngest sister who is a nurse and is super busy at present. There is no hurry though but it does bug me not knowing:-) A xCrafty in the Medhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15365932964481050936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768477638418453764.post-3261249206306240552021-08-18T13:25:11.080+02:002021-08-18T13:25:11.080+02:00Hi Wendy,thank you for calling in and leaving a co...Hi Wendy,thank you for calling in and leaving a comment.

When we go away, we leave our keys with our next door neighbour, and know she'll keep an eye on things. We also have an intruder alarm, so, hopefully that will deter squatters and burglars! What a shame no-one knows what happened to the dolls house, but at least you have the lovely, little bookcase. I'm intrigued to know what your new project is.

Here in Missouri there is something similiar-stealing land. In the cities you need to know your property lines-as a neighbor can start mowing lawn more and more on your land-and then claim in-or I say steal it-to avoid this many add a fence right on the property line. If one owns acres of land and one must check that there are no squatters on your land-same thing they will happen-they steal it on you--this is really sad that this happens in different places around the world. Don't know why our state won't do something this either<br /> those little doll books are so precious-hugs Kathykathyinozarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01644138355524729156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768477638418453764.post-27723483294540616192021-08-04T19:39:27.020+02:002021-08-04T19:39:27.020+02:00Totally agree with you Ellie about the names on th...Totally agree with you Ellie about the names on the back of photos and also a date. It would make it so much easier for me while I am collating the information for the family History database. Thankfully my mother did a lot before she passed away and most of the very old family photos have a name on the back and their status in the family.

It's good that the neighbours have a system in place. I would like to think that my neighbours would keep an eye on things if I went away but if someone is determined to get in they probably will somehow. I love the little book case what a treasure. I'm determined to do something similar when I have the time. Looking forward to seeing your next RAOCK.

It's awful that squatters can take over someone's house and they the owner has to go through the courts. This is not right!<br />The treasure inventory sounds like a great idea for future generations. <br />I would also add write names of people on the backs of printed out photographs. I have a lovely album full of Victorian family (I think) photos, but no names at all. It's so frustrating not to know who these people were and what my relationship to them is.<br />Best wishes<br />Ellie<br />Ellie Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12437259693600577503noreply@blogger.com
