This baby cradle might be my most cherished posession. My grandfather, Papa, made wooden toys and shelving for us. He probably made other wooden items too, but what I remember are the Barbi house, train, trucks, and these baby cradles we received for Christmas. It looks like the year was 1981, so I was only 2 years old. We've lost a few of them, and I thought mine was one that was gone until I found it while going through storage a few weeks ago. I feel a little guilty for having mine, when my sister (Alicia?) can't find hers and she actually remembers receiving and playing with it. Lucky for me, my name is on it so she can't steal it.

I'm the one that "lost" mine, I mean dad threw it out....i think that is what happened. So yes, I am jealous, because Leah could be playing with it right now....thanks for reminding me....boohoo.
Yeah I am so glad that you found it. I am so glad that I have mine!! It was fun watching Liz play with it. It makes me sad that she has outgrown it..... But every time I look at it, it reminds me of Papa. And I can't help but smile!
where is mine? i feel like i have seen it in like the last 5 years or so...hmm.
