Hello

My sister had this.. and I wanted it.

September 27, 2007

It’s a Kenner Family Tree House. (Look! Click Click! It’s NEW!)
It had little people – called Tree Tots. And look how great that swing is. I wanted it. But it was hers… sigh…!

What did YOUR sister have that you wanted?

    My sister and I shared one. They are great! Goodluck with the new shop

    Ha, I had one of those and loved it, but was very jealous of my sister’s Baby Alive doll. Love that tree house…

    Oh, i totally fit this profile, my big sister (now 35) had one, to make matters worse, our neighbours all had that tree house too, so i was tortured every where i went, as it was strickly exclusive, not for little sisters’ paws. Damn them!! Look at the response you have provoked, many an early 80’s non sharing bitch sister attack. Love Posie

    Oh I wanted one of those, but we never got one. I can’t remember really wanting anything my sister had, but I must of cause we used to fight a lot 🙂 We did have very different interests though, she was into her babies I liked to play explorers and swiss family robinson.

    oh so many things…pound puppies…cabbage patch kid…overnight sleepovers in mum & dads bed…a totally adorable disposition.

    We had one. We had to share it too. I loved how you pressed the button at the top to pop it up, and the elevator that you wound up and down. My sister had something called a “Matilda” doll that I desperately wanted. It came with a rocking chair that you wound up and sat the doll in and it rocked. She also had a dresser with a set of crockery. I remember we had an earth tremmer one night and hearing Matilda’s dresser shaking!

    I remember these – I really wanted one, but never got one, I think I still want one.

    WOW, I had that treehouse! I remember being very attached to the little puppy that lived in the bush.
    As for my sisters goodies, I remember she received a Barbie Doll head thing, you know the kind where you can style their hair and put on makeup. I wanted it to be mine so desperately. One day when she was at school I gave it a haircut! Imagine Barbie trying to go skinhead but having to make-do with punk. Well that was the ‘look’ I achieved. My sister wasn’t impressed and neither was my mother. I still feel guilty to this day whenever I see one of those barbie heads.

    Oh my lord. Im not sure which of my sisters had this, one of them did. Anyway, my sister (the middle blogging one) has recently re-purchased it off ebay. Saying she spent way too much but had to have it.

  • LouLou September 28, 2007 at 4:15 AM

    Oh my god I had the magic treehouse and I think it was my favourite toy….i spent hours rocking the little people on the swing – but the best bit was the lift that went up the middle of the tree stump….oh where did my treehouse go i wonder???I want it back!!!Thanks for the memories….

  • Mel Goodsell September 28, 2007 at 2:18 AM

    I badly wanted one of these treetop things when I was little – so so much!! My cousin had one and she also had the big barbie bus that I desperately wanted too…sigh. I really loved looking at this photo, it brought back memories so I thought I’d leave a comment instead of lurking :O)

    my sister had a super polly pocket with a little puppy, sushi for the table, a little outdoor seating area and a flip down bed!! she would pull it out and let me peek sometimes but never touch!

  • AnastasiaC September 28, 2007 at 2:12 AM

    oh we had one of those too! what a flaShback!!!
    my sis and I had to share all our toys…i got most of her hand me down clothes too…we were so close in age so it was cool…

  • my poppet September 28, 2007 at 1:45 AM

    Wow, i had the green tree one, it was brilliant and had tottaly forgotten about it until now. Wonder what ever happened to it?
    Thanks for rekindling happy memories.

  • Dana September 28, 2007 at 1:25 AM

    We’ve got one of those! It’s waaaay ap high on a shelf where it can’t be wrecked – not yet anyway..

  • twitchy fingers September 28, 2007 at 12:18 AM

    My sister had it too! And I wanted it desperately… and I had to wait 25 years, but I got it! My mum had saved it, and when my daughter was born the ole family tree house came out of storage and into my house! Ha! Take that sister…
