Wee Furniture for the Wee Folks
July 10, 2009
I chanced upon an estate sale a few weeks ago, of course, my van took over and drove down the street to the sale. I have been looking for a small table for my grandbabies, so they could eat or craft or color at their level. All the table sets that I have seen either are too cheaply built or just not appealing or too pricey for my pocketbook. However, I found several pieces of furniture for the grandbabies at this sale!
-
A very sturdy red round table, which I added the three vintage metal child size folding chairs I had already purchase at a yard sale last year. $8.00
-
A 60s vintage wooden doll highchair. $5.00
-
A 60s vintage white doll cradle. $5.00
-
A 60’s vintage green mod chair. $2.00
-
A vintage woven basket with lid. $1.00

Wee Folk Furniture

Vintage Doll Cradle
Recently purchased a scrap of pink quilted material (.25 cents) which I will use to make a doll quilt for the cradle. I plan on making a tie-quilt mattress and a pillow, maybe using pink flannel.

I purchased 4 $1.00 coloring books and a plastic pencil case for crayons and markers to put into the woven basket.

Coloring Book & Crayons Storage Basket
$21.00 bought quite a few treasures for the grandbabies! Compared to the price and quality of new children’s furniture that I could have purchased, these things were fantastic bargains. I know that many of you have thrifted pieces of child’s furniture, etc. and fashioned children’s play space so leave a comment with a link to the great ideas.

Love the table! I just got vintage/retro red wooden chairs that would complete that set. Found them at an antique booth on the 4th of July, $30 for the pair (down frm $35) I have a vintage child’s card table. It needs to have the top recovered and then glued back on the frame, but for now it has a doll-quilt as a table cloth.
I also found a vintage red metal ironing board and a small wash board. I need to find the toy iron and wash tub.
And finally, I have a doll bed very similar to your cradle.

Isn’t it fun to create for the grandbabies?
