Their charitable and loving response is why I have loved this handy item so much. I have used it with my eight children and my daughter is using it now with my grandson.The buckets underneath have held stacks of baby clothing and function as a dresser.The top is a great changing table and actually came with a baby tub under the lid. I never did use that part and removed it to make it easier to access the wicker baskets.
When I found out that I was expecting a girl with Miss J., Aunt Catherine came over and we recovered the top with a fabric pattern called "Daisy Kingdom".We sprayed the baskets a lovely white as they were by that time an old and faded yellow. It was always a pleasure to get this dressing table out and to start loading it with little undershirts, receiving blankets and baby nightgowns.We keep this in the living room where Meg has it full of diapers, wipes, lotion and a few spare outfits.The top of it comes in way too handy as a catch all for baby blankets, jackets and shoes! Larry and I decided a long time ago that we wouldn't be able to keep house as if there were no children living here.
It won't be too much longer until this dressing table falls over.The little guy is 16 months old so the timing will be about right.This usually unsentimental Mom will give this piece up sadly, because it represents so much to me. I will always remember the love and generosity that came with this gift. Thank you so much, Andrea ,Tim and Diana.
