The Bunad

Abstract

The bunad came from my grandma. She gave it to me. The bunad has sort of a sorted history, so here’s the thing. If you look at that picture, that bunad was, that was Anna’s bunad, grandma’s bunad, you can take a picture of that picture, grandma had a less elaborate bunad. She didn’t have one that was from Norway. I mean look at that you can’t make those here okay you order and. Hers was just the black front with the white under it. The bunad that I use wasn’t Nora’s bunad it was Anna’s bunad. Anna was very large and as she got older she got larger and larger. And grandma didn’t, they were all so chesty, grandma didn’t get as large so when Anna had to change out into anther bunad grandma got this one. So there has been a little bit of a thing about the bunad because the bunad was originally Anna’s. Now it was given to grandma by anna before grandma died and then it was given to me before grandma died. So I’m like maybe one day, I might you know, but someone was like that one’s Anna’s bunad. And I was like well we didn’t go into the house and steal it. So originally it was Anna’s, it was here older sisters. So I did I talked to Shelley about that because one of the relatives was like well how does she have that bunad it’s right there in the picture. And I said Shelley someday that is going to make it back to your family but it may not be for a few generations. It’s going to go to whoever takes this over. I am not going to go here take it my grandma gave it to me. It’s like well sorry. It’s kind of funny. You guys were little when I started it and then here came along, I had Mel. I think it was three years before we knew Mel was going to be here. So that was kind of cool. So be careful about the Bunad it’s got some sorted history to it. Someone thinks that Nora went in and took it out. She didn’t no, I’m kidding, she didn’t take it it was given to her. So I asked Shelley and Shelley I was like should I give it back. And Shelley was like [makes hand motions like shoving it into a box or ruining it]. She’s like no, they’re just going to put it in a drawer and never do anything with it
