Dear Baby

I’ve been searching for the perfect pram for months - but their cost always seemed so exorbinant for something we’d only be able to use for 5 or 6 months. Brand new prams are anywhere from $1000 to $4000 depending on the make and model.

Spending that much money would be irresponsible - and so I was hoping and crossing my fingers we’d find something used for a more reasonable price. On a whim, I searched the Raleigh Craigslist because we are going home in a few weeks.  There just so happened to be a Silver Cross Balmoral Pram for sale in the same city as my father for only $60.00 (see photo above).  That is a ridiculously low price - so I thought there must be something majorly wrong with it.

I sent dad to go check it out today - and sure enough - it’s in great shape! It has some scratches on the main bassinet - but we plan to have it repainted (maybe a light yellow or green?). A brand new version of this English-made pram sells for $3,000.00 online.  So with a new coat of paint, a new mattress, and shipping it to SF - we will have spent a total of $250 on a beautiful pram worth thousands more.

I am so excited about this

Love,

M
