...to the car. And then a 5 hour drive to our home. Oh yeah, and dusted off. And then dusted off again. The bassinet.
"The Basinet"
A family tradition. All family babies must lay (lie?) in this bassinet. We will soon be hitting the 4th generation to do so. 31 years ago the bassinet first made it's appearance in our apartment, and my first question to the Better Half (and a mortified mom-in-law) was "Can I paint it?" Some things never change...I got the same resounding "NO!" when I inquired once again. Tradition.

ReplyDeleteOh man. This kind of thing just slays me. I love this!! {also did I mention the jealousy, grandma-to-be??}
ReplyDeleteA beautiful tradition and glad you have that waiting for your expected little one
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful and I love the tradition. I'm with your better half, don't paint it. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteThat's okay...I'm not allowed to touch it :)

It's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love this tradition. My MIL offered that basinet she used with her youngest child and I ignorantly said "No, that's ok, I'll use another one". Now I see the importance of tradition and this would have been a nice one for our family. It looks beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteDon't feel bad Amanda...initially my response was "no" too. It was forced on me. Now I love it :)
DeleteOh Kathy it is beautiful.

I am not sure if that kind of version of basinet that I used when I was a baby...thanks for sharing this nowadays antique design of basinet
ReplyDeleteI would have gladly used any bassinet offered to me by family. I always liked family traditions and hand me down furniture
ReplyDeleteThis basinet is lovely! What a great tradition to pass down & this is a beautiful photo too!
ReplyDeleteAhhhhh.... it's so pretty. I am kind of glad you got a no ;-D.

It's amazing! Heirlooms like this are priceless.
ReplyDeleteMy MIL some 47 years ago marched into our home and sat down a rocking cradle and said, "Fill it. I'll soon be too old for a grandchild!" That cradle in now on its second generation with more in the future.
ReplyDeleteFamily traditions can be excellent, but some ... (smiling - sorry, you couldn't paint it:) ) Love the image/
ReplyDeleteI love pieces wrapped in tradition!
ReplyDeleteWe have a Moses basket that we brought home from Jamaica with our newborn son. Both my children used it, both my sister's children and those of several friend. I can't wait until we have some grandchildren to use it.
Thanks for sharing at SYC.
Love the photo! There is a cradle used in my family, but sadly I moved away and had a baby and didn't get to use it. I think it's a fun tradition!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful bassinet and a wonderful tradition.
