We were trying to figure out what to give our granddaughter for Christmas when the great grandparents arrived with our 2 kids old maple crib from the 80's. After much debate(well, not really, apparently the crib now breaks every law in the book!) we decided to repurpose it into keepsakes. Enter Ana White! We settled on a doll crib and doll highchair. After many design changes trying to best utilize the old wood we came up with these. As you can see they were a hit and luckily very sturdy! There are now 2 doll cribs, 2 high chairs and 4 granddaughters, each family has a set as a keepsake. There are a few scraps left just in case a grandson happens along! Should be enough for a logging truck!
