I grew up in the days of umbrella strollers. Just after the heyday of prams. Right into the miserable plastic and vinyl convenience of mustard and avocado. Lucky for me I have been gifted with an old soul. Something I have heard far too many times. My old soul has always longed for a "real" stroller. The kind you would see a little girl happily prance up and down the street with.
...and there she was...
All dressed up in the finest Ohio Art lithograph.
A little lamb dancing in the clover.
With nary a scratch.
Wooden beads still neatly painted.
Spoke tin wheels polished like new.
A prize toy ready for a grown up girl.
Yep...Claire and I took it for a spin around the room.
Now, I am off to find just the right baby items to fit in this treasure.

Aww so sweet! There is just something about little lambs. :-) It would look really cute with a potted plant in it too.
That's so sweet - and looks like it's in perfect condition too! I have a Teddy Bear who'd love to go for a ride in it :)
Isn't it the cutest! A baby doll will enjoy riding in this!
Oh you lucky! I'm jealous of that perfect little stroller!
Oh my!! You have the sweetest little vintage treasures! I love your stroller!! That is such a good treasure to have! That would be cute with some little vintage toys and a teddy bear :) Have fun on your stroll! xo Holly
Eeek! I say take it around the block. :)
Renee, I am beyond happy that this stroller has come to live in your craft room. A more deserving grown up girl there couldn't be. My husband was lucky enough to have grown up with a real stroller like this one. Gotta love the 40's! Thanks for sharing! E
Can't believe the great condition on that ADORABLE stroller. They just don't make them like they used to....
GET OUT!!!! First I saw the "Ohio Art" logo, and I got a little nervous because I knew it was going to be something that would be so darn cute, and I would want it BAD! My heart's beating fast!
I guess that does it then...you bought the cutest thing that there is! HaHa!
Erica :)
I love it! It's so sweet. So happy it found you.

Oh my, this is honestly the cutest stroller ever!! It is in such awesome condition!! I so want to come over an play!! Great find!! ;) xo Heather
OK....now I really want your craft room and everything in it!!!! LOL Where in the heck did you find this treasure?????? My gosh Renee!!!!
I spy the cutest little dolly stroller...and, it belongs to one of my sweet blogging friends!
Oh, Renee...You have added such a cute touch to your already incredible sewing room...How I love the pink and blue! Many of my toys in the 50s were of this same vintage. How I wish I still had some of them...Unfortunately, my two little twin sisters inherited them and they didn't survive!
I hope you are staying cool with a a bit milder weather!
Big hugzzzz,

The condition of that stroller is unbelievable. It was just waiting for you. The lamb graphic is just precious. Good for you.
Dang sista' where did you find that treasure? I want one, too!
As soon as my hubby fixes my computer, I'll send you some piccy's!
Hugs,
Meri
OMG, this is so darling! Don't you just wish they made such sweet things nowadays?!

This is why I want to go back in time and go shopping! Fantastic find...I am crying with greed! =D
I love it. So cute and in such good condition. You scored.
Good grief, that is amazing! I can't believe it has survived all these years in perfect condition and those graphics of the lambs are just so sweet. Thanks for sharing, Nan
What a score to find one in that condition!! I can hardly wait to see how you fill 'er up.
oh my how cute!! I just love it! Hope you find the right baby doll for it!! Such a wonderful find!! Hugs,
Lynn
Just precious Renee!!
Wow, what incredible condition,and such cute colors and images. It was just waiting for you.
You KNOW I love this adorable stroller. What a great find!!
Oh, just, just beautiful!!! I love the little lamb! I found a similar style stroller (with graphics that weren't nearly as cute) for only $16 at an antique store. I was so excited about my great find that I didn't realize until I got home that it was missing the 2 back wheels!! It's still cute for display though!
Oh my. How adorable is that? Love it.
Thank goodness I read all the way through my blog list or I would have missed this! It is perfect and wonderful. And whatever doll you find will need a dress to match the stroller. Maybe a hat. And a quilt.
