"Bunnies & Hearts"

Saturday, April 13, 1991

     Last night after supper we went to the Baby Furniture Plus Store on Newtown Rd.  That's where Carole took me one day to look around.  Guy had persuaded me the other night to include bunnies in the baby's room so we decided to do bunnies plus hearts.  We saw a crib set in Sears' catalog with both in pink & blue together, hearts and bunnies.  The whole set cost $85.  They had the same thing at the store and the whole set for it was $77 / $8 difference.  I was kind of hesitant about it but Guy insisted so we decided to get that.  We looked all through the store at everything and at the back we found two cribs that were just under $100 each.  They weren't anything fancy and both were in dark wood.  But the end panels weren't real wood.  One had clear teething rails on the sides.  The other had white ones on the sides and ends.  We asked the lady if either one came in white.  She checked and said both did.  The one with the white rails, she already had a white one on order & said it would be in in 4 wks.  The other one she would have to place an order for a white one & it would take about 6 wks. to come in.  We decided on the one that was on the way.  We also picked out a firm foam mattress for $40.  All together with tax it came to $216.83.  We paid $50 down to put it on layaway.  The lady was really surprised when we said the baby's due in a week.  She asked if we had a cradle or something to use til the crib came & we said we're borrowing a bassinet.  I just noticed she put on the receipt "needs ASAP."
