Life on Florida’s West Coast

Babar and Rosebuds

I kept my daughter’s crib bedding. After she was born, I went out and bought bedding with lots of Battenberg lace and embroidered rosebuds. I did the whole room is mostly white, with rosey accents. I guess I hope one day she might be able to use the bedding for one of her own children.

Now, before she was born I bought a set of crib bedding that did end up being used. I have been a huge Babar fan all of my life and I went to al lot of trouble to locate a set of Babar crib bedding. I figured that the liberal use of red and Kelly green would work for either a boy or a girl and we had chose not to find out the gender of the baby before she was born. When Gigi was born, I suppose the red and Kelly green just did not feel right anymore and I boxed up the Babar set.

About a year ago I gave away the crib, bassinette, changing table, swings, and other baby items on Freecycle, along with a lot of Gigi’s clothes and toys that she had outgrown. I offered up the Babar bedding, asking that someone only take it is Babar meant something to them, since I the crib bedding had been to hard to obtain – not to mention expensive. I got a lot of replies, but every single one said they ere just looking for whatever they could find for their babies. So, I chose to hang onto the bedding. I did not want to give it to someone who could very well just toss it out.

And so, I have both sets saved. Maybe I’ll even use them again myself one day.

I don’t have a child yet but I am sure when I will have a baby one day, I will probably keep all her things like the crib, bedding, even her clothes. Maybe one day when she got a baby sister, she will have something to use. It would be a big saving for me, instead of giving away the baby stuffs to relatives or friends.
