Pretty in Pink Dolls Crib

Ah, this doll's crib has been a little labour of love and is now looking for a super new home.

I have refreshed this traditional wooden crib with several coats of pretty pink eggshell paint (having properly primed and sanded the surfaces first). There is a pretty hand-applied vintage-style rose decal to the end. I've then had a rather enjoyable time, I must admit, custom making some beautiful bedding for the crib. The crib has a new calico-covered foam mattress and lots of gorgeous bedding to keep dolly cosy and little hands busy at play.

Let's look at the bedding. The mattress is covered with a pretty cotton flannelette ditsy floral bottom sheet. Dolly can then nestle under a vintage wool blanket, satin bound at one end, and blanket stitching in perle cotton round the sides. On top of this is a vintage embroidered top sheet and I must say that this one is a beauty. It has been exquisitely embroidered with little bunny rabbit motifs and spring flowers in sugary shades. On top, dolly can enjoy a miniature patchwork quilt, made just as I make my full size quilts, with a top patchworked from many little 2" squares, cotton batting inside and a flannelette backing with pink polka dot binding, hand stitched to the reverse. Finally, there is a new little pillow with a removable vintage embroidered and crochet edged pillow case. All bedding can be removed and machine washed at 30 degrees.

The crib measures approximately 24" long, 12" wide and 17" tall. I would say this is a medium sized crib as compared with the other few I have made over, so even suitable to fit into a fairly petite nursery.

I rarely find these cribs and make them over and they are fortunately always in demand because they are all special and unique and not "off the peg". They are eco chic recycling at its best and of course, made-over by hand here in Blighty, by yours truly!

This crib is priced at £95 and may be collected from South East London or South Somerset/West Dorset by arrangement. Alternatively, the crib may be posted in mainland UK via parcels service for £15 P&P.

SOLD, THANK YOU

Beautiful Doll Crib

This lovely vintage doll's crib has been given a HenHouse makeover. It has been painstakingly prepared and painted with a pretty pink eggshell paint and I have added some little vintage style rose transfers to each end.

The crib has a new calico covered mattress, a flannelette ditsy-flowered bottom sheet, gorgeous vintage linen top sheet which is embroidered with flowers and a bluebird, a vintage woollen satin-edged blanket which has been hand blanket stitched with perle cotton and a gorgeous patchwork quilt on top, made just like a full-size quilt with cotton batting and backing and hand-sewn pink polka dot binding. The finishing touch is a new pillow with a removable vintage embroidered, lace-edged pillow case. All the bedding can be washed (wool blanket on the appropriate setting).

This is a generously sized doll's crib with plenty of room for a whole family of teddies and dollies. It measures approximately 27" long, 17" tall and 11" wide. The crib gently rocks, sure to delight any special little girl or a lady who is young at heart.

The crib would need to be collected in the next few weeks. We can offer collection from South East London, the South Somerset/West Dorset area or somewhere in between along the M3/A303! There is also the chance of collection from North Yorkshire in the foreseeable future. This item is truly worth the trip, it is a complete unique one-off which will become a family heirloom to be treasured and passed on for years to come. I seldom have these cribs available and all my past customers have been so thrilled with their cribs, they look even more stunning in real life.

The crib is priced at £95. SOLD, VERY MANY THANKS (You are welcome to email me to go on the waiting list for the next one...)

I generally only have a few cribs available each year so please don't delay to contact me if you wish to reserve or discuss collection.
