This week is like a Prim Sisters dream come true around here! Spring and fall our county has a clean up week. It is our area's turn this week. I wish you could see the piles of stuff by the curb in front of everyones house. On our street there are 3 houses up for sale so those people really cleaned out! And I took advantage of that..... this little doll crib is about 50 years old. And I know this cause as I was *diving* for it my neighbour came out and told me! It still has the leather strap across the bottom to hold it together. Im not sure if I will paint it or not. My mom has alot of old dolls and raggedies so I may give it to her.
A pic of it with the bottom out. Still has the little lamb stencil on the end too!
I also got the tiniest doll rocker but I forgot to take a picture. I think the funniest part was watching people....it was like a parade up and down our street. My husband joked about directing traffic! I did take another drive around today and I am going back after an old shutter I want to make a shelf out of. I will make sure to share the project!
Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Wow Holli, what a fine. Wish I could have been there diving with you...
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh when I read your post! I do the same thing. It is amazing what some people consider trash. Some of my favorite items were once thrown away by someone else.
ReplyDeleteI love the crib and I bet you will make it look wonderful!
Happy hunting!

Oh I love to go "trashin"! I wish I lived on your street...I would've been right there with you! Hope you find even more treasures!

The old saying One Man's Trash Is Another Man's Treasure rings true for me too. I enjoy looking around on junk day here. Enjoy all your nice treasures.
ReplyDeleteAll that 'junk' on your street! Happy days!
ReplyDeleteCute doll's cot!
Have more fun hunting!

HI HOLLI... SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAD FUN.. WE JUST HAD TRASH DAY UP HERE AND I LOVE IT.. LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU THIS SUMMER...
ReplyDeleteHow funny! I love that old doll crib. That will look great with old dolls and raggedies! I hope that shutter is still there when you go back. I'm looking for some too to make a shelf for my laundry room. No luck yet though.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Central Ontario
ReplyDeleteyou made an extremely lucky find of the crib.
Your neighbour was correct about the age of these. They are from 50 to 60 years ago.
I am trying to refurbish the exact same crib for a very good friend. Keep it original as possible. Please don't paint it.
