My Grandma is in the process of moving in with my parents, and as part of that, they recently moved an old bed from Grandma's house into their guest bedroom, (aka my old room).
It's a big, tall, four poster bed that I used to love to sleep in when I went to my Grandma's when I was little. I had to do a running jump to get up into it until I was about 13. haha!
I snapped some pictures of Henry sitting/playing in the old bed this weekend, and me, my mom, and Grandma did the math and decided Henry is
at least the 6th generation, (but possibly the 7th generation), of my family to sleep in the bed.
I told Henry the old bed first belonged to his momma's momma's momma's momma's momma. Did you catch all that? ;)
Not exactly sure what he's doing, but this picture cracks me up! haha
Funnily enough my great-great-grandparents, (who would be 6 generations back from Henry), were named Major Henry and Lucy, and Lucy was one of our top name contenders had Henry been a girl.
I love furniture, art, clothes, whatever with a story! Do you have anything in your family that's been around longer than anyone can remember?

Super cute pics! We have tons of antiques, but I think most of them were purchased... My mom's mom probably has some, but I would have to ask. :)

ReplyDeleteI own an old rocking chair that my grandfather was rocked in when he was a baby and we're not sure who had it before that. My Mom has a tiny little chair that my great grandmother learned to walk with (she would push it around the floor) and it has little bite marks on it from who knows who....it's more than 100 years old now!
