Furniture/Bedding

We had been looking everywhere for baby furniture. I could spend all day searching the internet and comparing cribs/dressers/bassinets. There where so many to choose from it was getting confusing. We also found that many stores didn’t have things in stock, they had pictures to look at and then you could order them and pay high shipping costs, so things didn’t seem as affordable as they were marked.

A friend at work told me she was selling some furniture and invited us to look at them before she put them in the paper. I could not wait to go and when the day came it felt like Christmas or something I was so excited. So in February E and I went to her beautiful home and found she had exactly what we were looking for; the furniture was perfect and so beautiful. On our way home that night she called to say she and her husband had talked and she said they knew we had just bought a new home and this was out first baby so we had a lot to still buy, so they wanted us to have all the furniture as a gift. I was in complete shock; I had nothing to say back to herand that doesn’t happen often. This was such a huge gift and meant so much to us. They gave us a crib with mattress, a dresser/changing table, cradle with bedding, bassinette and even a toddle bed with mattress that matched the other furniture. I love it all and can’t express to them enough how grateful we are. I wrote them a poem (all by myself!) and took a picture of the furniture and put them in a frame together at the baby shower so that everyone else could see the incredible gift we had been given. The poem went like this:
