Well, for one, cradles aren't used for very long. My SIL sewed her own and its absolutley adorable! Most cradles dont require a real "set" so just find a really cute blanket that you love and use that. Bassinet or cradle sheets are also hard to find.. I have a couple and if I need more, my mom said that pillow cases actually work great if need be.
