White Window White Crib


In searching for  my teenage haunts in Murphy, North Carolina Joe and I ran across this house that was having a moving sale. It is part photo studio and the owner was gracious enough to allow me to photograph this beguiling window and crib.




The view is charming. The whole street has houses like this one. I used to visit an old Victorian house  here with my cousins.



All of these items pictured were for sale but were quite expensive.




I did make a few modest purchases but not of the white variety. I bought vintage chicken feeders.




joy and peace

  3. That is very pretty! I cracked up when you left me the message that y'all are counting calories. We are counting Weight Watchers points.

    1. I never thought that anyone would think that because I am way past babies y'all.

  6. So sweet and charming
    all wrapped up in one : )
    That is the kind of street
    I always dreamed of living
    on!

    The Moses baskets are such
    a lovely southern tradition.
    Someone gave me one when
    my son was born {we were
    living in Virginia} and I am
    now sad that I passed it on
    to another new mom at some
    point.

    Happy Monday!

  14. No babies here, but that crib is about as special as they come. I can see how a photographer would use such a setting. What parent wouldn't want a photo of their new infant in this beautiful crib. Thanks for sharing this beauty.

  20. I think that is the most beautiful bassinet I've ever seen!

  21. Beautiful photography of the bassinet. I can just imagine all the babies who had their formal photo taken here. Chicken feeders? Is there a pic?

  22. Those drapes were beautiful and looked especially so against the wood floors. We have an old wicker bassinet in my hubby's family that has been around for 70+ years. Three of the four siblings in his family used it, then the nine grandchildren, and most of the great-grands. It has been decorated in many ways over all these years, but never as elegantly as this one. Thanks so much for sharing!

  23. I like the rather romantic looking drapes in these photos and imagine that the homes on this street must be beautiful!

  26. Beautiful photos Olive. Our girls were placed in a vintage bassinet like the one you photographed, but ours wasn't as beautifully dressed. So glad she let you take the pics.

  27. What lovely photos...looks like a beautiful house!

  28. That picture of the crib is a showstopper! And yes it would make a lovely photo shoot for babies. But no one would dare use it anymore, not and leave the baby unattended. Things are so different now. When my granddaughter was born last summer I learned that blankets are not allowed or bumper pads. Babies are not put down on their tummies anymore either. The mattress is firm with only the sheet stretched tight over it. All of this to avoid babies smothering. And it is back to swaddling days for young babies now and I was amazed at how it soothes them down so their arms don't flail about. A different world for young parents today but yes that crib would make a lovely keepsake portrait.
