About: Miniature Cradle, Fairy Castle
Colleen Moore's most beloved object in the Magic Garden of the Fairy Castle was this miniature egg-shaped cradle representing the lullaby song “Rock-a-bye Baby.” Moore’s grandmother had the cradle set with pearls made from a necklace, a pair of earrings, and brooch she had worn as a child.
