rock a by baby...


the above picture is of my older sister on christmas day in 1979. the reason i'm posting this, other than to show you what a cute baby she was, is because brooklin recently inherited this same doll cradle a few months ago. i have been working on refinishing it and finally finished it a few days ago.








not bad for a 30 year old cradle that is now on it's fourth user.
