Happy Thursday all! Once again it is time for Vintage Thingy Thursday over at the lovely blog COLORADOLADY.blogspot.com. And today this Grammy to be is sharing a vintage Jenny Lind cradle.......And the wonderful story behind it...........
Ok...my Dear neighbor and I were out to some garage sales when from the road I spot this cradle....now I can hardly wait for her to park when I'm jumping out of the van......Oh for the GRAMMY excitement......the thrill of the Grammy hunt!
I look a it....and ask .."How Much??????"
"Two Dollars......."
"TWO DOLLARS??????????"Oh for the GRAMMY excitement.........
"Oh my God" I exclaim as I almost KISS this lovely lady..........
Excitement building..."OH...I'll take it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Rambling now..."I am going to be a GRAMMY"
"First time huh?"
YES!!!!!!
"Well I want you to just take it!!!!!!"
"TAKE IT???"
God Thank You for that wonderful woman!
So...one of the projects was to make some bumpers...sheets...a sweet pillow......
You can see this is still in the works....and YES...I will remove the scissors......
To the left folded on it is a quilt I am making for inside it...it will have all the pictures of the GRANDMAS on it that JALINA ROSE is being named for.....Jane ( me..Grammy...sigh)
Pauline......her Great-Nana
Rose...my Grandma.....

I promise to share a finished pic of the memory quilt...and the cradle when all is finished...but with a little sanding and a new coat of stain/varnish.......
Isn't it wonderful sweet vintage!
