A little above the ordinary, and a good view of it.
An oak-canopy reading house with a ladder, balcony and a bird-sized guest room.
Oak & Over
Oak & Over is a reading house up in the canopy of a big oak, with a ladder reaching up from the ground, a little balcony and a guest room sized for a bird. It sits high enough that the whole garden looks like a good chapter.
Alder the acorn archivist keeps the shelves tidy and the acorn collection in very good order. Alder has left a spare key inside an acorn, and it fits exactly one door: the one you have been meaning to open.
Climb up and you will find a page that feels like a treehouse for ideas. Everything here is a little above the ordinary, and nobody minds the view.
