Go to Lelly's blog to get the full scoop on her SPT challenge for May. May means wedding month to her so for the 4 Tuesday's this month we are in search of something old (for the 6th), something new (on the 13th), something borrowed (the 20th), and something blue (for the 27th).
When I first read this I thought...ehhh...maybe I will take off the month of May, I can't think of anything. But then hey, what is the harm in sitting down and THINKING of something! That is what I love about doing the SPT challenge! So then it hit me...duh!
The oldest thing I own is 33 (almost 34) years old.
When my mom was pregnant with me, my dad and a friend made this cradle for her/me and gave it to her at her baby shower. It is made out of Golden Oak and Mahogany.
When I was pregnant with Alexis, my mom gave it to me.
This is Alexis a few days old in it. (July 1999)
I can't find the picture of Eli in it.
For my birthday, the same year Alexis was born, Steve had this brass plaque made for me. We placed it on the back of the cradle. I still need to add Eli's name to it. Hopefully we will be able to one day, put another baby in it!
In the flower shaped cut out, on the back, there use to be 4 tear shape crystal pieces but over 33 years and countless moves, those are gone.
I love that I have this cradle and will pass it on to one of my kids.
Here's another thing that is old...ME!
Looks at those grays! Okay so the picture accentuates it a lot but this is 4-5 weeks out from my last hair appointment! Thankfully, I have an appointment for tomorrow but seriously folks...I am OLD and GREY!

What beautiful treasure to have to be able to pass down through generations! Isn't it amazing how little babies are when they are born?! Alexis looks so tiny and comfy in it.
That plaque is amazing. I have never seen it on the cradle. It is great that one day your little grandkids will be able to sleep in it!!

And I haven't even looked for gray's! I don't think I want to!:( Your hair looks so natural I had no idea you colored it???
