Bunnies that didn't make it....

16 years ago

Out for Easter I mean.
Most of the ones I used in my Easter decor came from the big hutch in my study.

These are just some of the bunnies left in there. Actually all of these are on the middle shelves in

that hutch. So there's still plenty more bunnies in there, LOL.

I know the silver colored one doesn't 'go' with the brown bunnies, but I'm running out of room in that cabinet.

(Big surprise, right? LOL) Actually that one is some kind of metal, and is a piggy bank. I found him at my favorite antique store. The brown bunny set on the left was a gift last year from a very close GJ Forum friend, Kirk, who pops in here occasionally. It was his late Mom's.

Aren't the two sets of See-Hear-Speak No Evil bunnies adorable! I love them. The larger set is very heavy, and some kind of metal. They were a HUGE surprise from a Garden Junk buddy a couple of years ago!

And these bunnies don't have to be brown for me to love them!! The vintage white pair on the left are

great eBay 'finds' I made. I was thrilled to win that auction on this old set. The pair on the right with the flowers were a wonderful surprise from another Garden Junk buddy! And the dishes...how I'd love to have the whole set of those!! I could only afford the dinner and salad plate. But one of these days I'm going to

get the big Pitcher. This set also comes in white and brown. Equally pretty. I can't remember which catalog features it occasionally, Touch of Class or Tenderheart I think. Two little bunnies in middle were antique mall finds, tho I don't think they are very old like the pair on the left.


Here are some of my VERY favorite bunnies, on a glass shelf above the hutch. The March Hare (think he was in the Touch of Class catalog a few years ago), and then two Jim Shore-Heartwood Creek rabbits I hunted up online. The tiny wood one is handcrafted, and from a friend who found it at a Craft Festival. He has Indian designs on him.

    Karen, I will definitely be on the lookout for those plates for you, you just never know, I may have seen them in the past & never paid attention.

    Wow, you do have alot of bunnies, and they are all special in their own way. I still just love mine & the one I put in the display glass, is right on an end table next to my chair where I watch tv. I'm constantly looking at him & admiring him and how lucky I am to have him.

    Sales should start right after Easter, so I'll be on the hunt so to speak!!!

    I an so glad you posted some of your bunnies. They are darling. You have a whole warren of brown bunnies, and how sweet of Kirk to send you his mom's. Those plates are to die for, who makes them? The leaping rabbits are really different, I haven't seen them before, but I'm loving what I see.

    Karen, it is so great that you have room for cabinets where you can display your "treasures". Let's you enjoy them all the time not just for a holiday. You have a really neat collection of bunnies--even after sharing so many with greatful friends/family--and it's so neat that you can relate stories about the thrill of the hunt or receiving a special gift from a friend. ;o)

    OK, Karen, you have a serious collection of great bunnies! I like how you've displayed the white ones in front of the green & white plates. It sets them off wonderfully! All your brown bunnies are darling, but my favs are the ones in that last pic! The March Hare is very unusual. I'd love to have his twin! Did you find him online or in a TS or get him froma catalog? I LOVE the Jim Shore ones, too! How pretty! TFS!!!

    Lynn, I got the March Hare several years ago, from a catalog. However I did find him at one place online for you, if you want to check it out. Unfortunately this seems only place he's available now, I looked thru google for others.

    Frou, I found my Heartwood Creek easily, so they are still around online and on eBay sometimes.
    As for the dishes, glad you love them too. I think they are just wonderful. They are also fairly easy to locate.

    Here's more photos from google. You can find them online and in some catalogs still.

    Oh Karen, I want him . . . but, wow, is he expensive! I need to back off on buying things like that for a while. I think I've been going a bit crazy lately. Thanks for finding him for me,though. I'll just have to enjoy looking at yours for a while.

    Lynn, I got him for $35-40 I think. I was a bit surprised at the price listed on that site. But if I ever see one priced more reasonable during my late night browsing, I'll let you know.

    Karen, you have so many darling buniies. The See-Hear-Speak No Evil bunnies are hilarious and made me laugh to look at them. I can see why you fell for the plates, they are wonderful.

    Thanks for sharing more with us. How are you feeling?

    Karen, the bunnies that 'stayed in' are adorable BUT those bunny toile plates are TDF! I don't remember seeing them before but I googled and found a blog where she shows a tablescape using them. Thot you might like to see it.

    Something else to add to my 'I-want-it' list! LOL

    Thanks, LG, I hadn't seen that. I just recently started browsing blogs (thanks, Luvs. LOL).
    And for Roosters lovers, I think a similar set was done in them too. I didn't buy one as I really put a rein on my rooster buying. Gee, something around here is controlled..amazing.

    hugs, Karen

    Karen, Your quote from "Anne of Green Gables" should be the one at the top of the page here for our forum. Gosh, I loved . . . still love, the Green Gables books!

    And I love all these bunnies that didn't make it this year...ahhh, they can jump again next yr! Your Jim Shore ones are a new collection to me...and I saw them on my trip also...if you bought 2, you got 3rd one half off...this was at a factory outlet store...yours are precious! I love learning about all these new "collections" on this forum!
