a family treasure



My Dad hand crafted this little rocking cradle when my older sister was a brand new baby back in 1970, nearly 40 years ago. My Mom sewed the little bumpers and sheet for the cradle and applied the sweet little wallpaper appliques on the wood. Isn't it cute?



All my sisters plus me slept in this little thing when we were newborns as well as most of my nieces and nephews. We used it for both Avery and Quinn and now it's ready for our new little guy who will be with us in just 3 short days. :)

This is definitely a family treasure!
