I just love bunny rabbits. Yes, they ate my lilies outside my sewing room window…and the cone flowers… and the special Kansas wild flowers I babied. Pre-Taka, we thought that the bunnies would not want to live in a yard owned by a dog and that they would move on and our flowers would be safe. But the dog and the rabbits declared a truce and have accepted each other. With this truce, we have actually named them and feel some responsibility for them—and planted flowers in raised beds and tall pots!
But my favorite bunnies are the pastel porcelain bunnies I bring up from the basement storage every spring to “play” in my living room and dining area. They live on the sideboard……
On the mantle….
On small tables….
Once friends discover you collect bunnies, they are generous in their gifts. My sister-in-law brought me little white bunny salt and pepper shakers that will be introduced to the “fluffle” this spring. (A group of rabbits is called a fluffle—a perfect name for bunnies!).
And last week this air freshner showed up on my door step from her!
My theory is that in this crazy world, you can not have too many things that bring a smile to your face. Janis R, the quilter in our group that does wonderful appliqué, agrees.
Peter Cottontail is nattily dressed in a plaid vest with a bow tie that matches his ears! Molly is hiding behind that Easter eggs. Because it is only 6″ x 22″, it would be perfect for many places in your home.
Molly and Peter Cottontail would love to help you welcome spring. Leave a comment and I will get back with you.
