I found the most delightful 1800s infant cradle while antiquing yesterday. It has square nails and original paint that is in remarkably good condition. I plan to use it to display a grouping of my primitive dolls.

I love your little cradle. what a great find! I hope you will show us when you fill it with primitive dolls.
Happy day

Thanks, Carole – and I definitely will!
What a wonderful find you have there. It will look lovely with your dolls in. I love the rich dark patina of the wood. Be lovely to know its history.
Cathy – Thanks! It is so narrow, it definitely tells a story of how the average size of infants has increased since the time it was made.
That is a gorgeous cradle!!! It’ll be perfect for holding prim dolls! SCORE!

Thank you both!
What a beautiful cradle. I have one that’s not old, but nicely made by some daddy or grandpa in the past few decades. Thanks for your kind comments on my work in progress.

Lucky you!…. I never get that lucky here in Colorado… That cradle would look pretty neat filled with real pumpkins and your black cat creations!
Score!
Nice multi-purpose prop with lotsa character…..

Jo – Yes, I am sure I will! BTW I was sooo sad last night when I was outbid at the last second on your ghost doll! I was so set upon winning her.
Charlene – Thank you, and thanks so much for stopping by!
