Rock A Bye Baby Empty Nest

My dad built this cradle for our first born over 50 years ago and all four of our children slept in it. It converts upside down to a bench when not used as a cradle. Most recently our great granddaughter slept in it when she stayed at our house but since she has moved and won't be staying here I guess I need to put it back in the spare bedroom

How lovely that you still have this, and could pass it down through the family

What a great idea to make it "reversible"! That is a treasure worth keeping and using over and over again.

What a wonderful skill your dad had to make this. I bet he was thrilled that it has gotten so much use!

A great treasure that hopefully will be passed on for more generations. I'll bet it's missing EK just like you are.

I love that it can be used as a bench. Made with love and filled with love.

[Daryl O'Hare]

That is a true treasure! And being multifunctional is so ingenious!

Or you could leave it out as a bench… and a beautiful reminder. 😊

It has been used often and will continue to be so for years to come I feel. And to my pigmania friends, I am missing the baby already. Thanks again for all your positive comments.

@marilyn I may have to do that if I can find a place for it
