Many families in Bryn Athyn still remember the “baby boxes” that were sent from Cairnwood and Glencairn by Mildred Pitcairn. This gift to mothers with newborns included a variety of baby clothes and blankets. Some of the items were store bought, while others were handmade. Mildred herself made many of the hand-knitted blankets. The “baby box” items pictured here are in the collection of Glencairn Museum. http://ow.ly/EeN330bsTUn -- source link
