Bunny Parade (part 1)

16 years ago

I was a little hesitant to post this because so many of you have stated that you don't care for cutsie bunnies. But they have taken over my house, till Easter anyway, and I love'em. So, here are some pics of my growing herd of Leporidae. The tiered stand, as well as the wreath are some of my recent TS finds. Even DH said the "Scope" bunny is too much. The brown bunny under the cloche is mine from childhood and the book was DS's.

    Well, I love cutesy bunnies, the first vignette is absolutley beautiful, those tiered stands are beautiful & love the pinks & greens together, the vignette with the brown bunnies & the green is just perfect, so like bunnies in the grass in the spring.

    The one with the egg holders and the candy eggs in the candle holders is just too cute!

    I don't (well, haven't at all posted...just lurked lol) but, your bunnies inspired me to come out of the closet so to say lol...Very cute and I think very well done...your little vingettes are too sweet! Makes me want to dig out my boy's Peter Rabbit books from when they were ch*ldr*n and do something with them! Thanks for the inspiration!

    Oh phooo. I prefer cutsie bunnies!!
    I can't find one thing in all of your hard work that I don't looove.
    I had to laugh at "scope bunny" though because I have his friends (allot of them that will be popping up soon) and I don't think there is one thing wrong with him. :)
    Thanks for sharing!!

    The 'scope' bunny is funny! I love the first pic! the tiered stand is AWESOME, and the caladium looks fantastic with the entire display and the beautiful tablecloth. I usually don't care for "cutsie" anything, but I do like that. lol!

    BTW: what is that tiered stand made of, how big is it, and what was its original purpose? I've never seen anything like it. I'd want to use it for serving fancy cookies or something. :O)

    Syble,
    What's the vegetation in the 5th picture? Looks like a lot of green sponges.

    Boy, that three tiered thing-a-ma-giggy you found recently sure looks great.

    I think your collection of bunnies is just totally adorable and I'm so glad you posted them.

    I love the first vignette especially because of the colors - so feminine and spring-like, and the crocheted tablecloth is really lovely. The Scope bunny is cute, it's amazing the bottles that products have come in. Wish I'd saved more. How wonderful to have a bunny from your childhood - that's a real treasure. Spring and Easter colors (and that tiered stand) are sooo perfect with your kitchen color scheme. TFS

    Syble,
    I forgot to mention that I love the photo in the second picture. Is that you as a little girl?
    Also, is that a two-tiered deviled egg server? It's so Eastery.

    Cute bunnies! I liked the idea of putting the jellybeans in a hurricane. Nice touch. Also the wreath around the bunnies neck was cute and the vintage book!

    Wonderful collection of bunnies! It is nice to have all different kinds like you do! My fav is the one on the chair with the wreath but I like the cutesy ones too! So funny, to have a "Scope" bunny! Perfect for the bathroom!

    OK you passed Part 1 of your Bunny Parade with flying colors. So hope you had time to work on part 2. I love all your bunnies and you always display things so nice.

    Will be looking for more bunnies. I remember you saying you had alot but I don't remember how many. Did you tell us a tally on them? So much fun looking at all your bunnies.

    Your three tiered stand in the first pic is fantastic! You found that at TS? I have a three tiered stand that looks like Charlie Brown's Christmas tree compared to yours! I love it. I also really like the pink plates and the pink under your crocheted tablecloth--just so pretty. I've sure never said I don't like "cutesy" bunnies, they are so perfect for Easter decor and many of mine stay out all year. That is so neat that you found an egg holder that has your soft pastel colors too! Was that a lucky find too? I like the vignettes you did with the other bunnies too. So neat that you have one from your childhood and have kept you DS book--both work great in your display. Can't wait to see more!

    Ya'll see, cutesy bunnies aren't all that bad. Welcome Bluesyblue, I'm glad that I lured you out of lurkdom, it is way more fun when you join in. And I would love to see your Peter Rabbit books. PM, that tiered stand is silver-plate and rotates in different positions. I guess it was made to be a tidbit tray or maybe a buffet plate holder. OA, that green stuff with the brown bunnies is reindeer moss that I bought at the Arkansas Flower & Garden Show last weekend. It is little puffs of live soft moss and the man said that it stays green and if it got hard to just soak it in water. And yes that is me and my mom, way back when, I miss hats and gloves at Easter. Punk, I have about 80 bunnies and still adding, so "Bunnies on Parade" is in the works. Thanks for all the thoughtful comments everybody

    Well, although I am one who normally doesn't care for "cutesy" things, that's only for my own house and not anyone else's. I can appreciate cute decs in anyone's place! And, EVERYBODY loves cute Easter bunnies, me included!
    How funny . . . I have that same book and basket in the reindeer moss pic! Nice display, BTW!
    Love your 3-tiered silver cake stand . . . gosh is that beautiful! So is your pastel cakestand display. I really like your idea to use the pastel Easter candies in the candleholder, too. TFS.

    Ok, DITTO me on EVERYTHING the others have said!! Jaybird nailed my feelings right off the bat.
    Scope is a hoot...and what do DH's know about decor anyway.
    LOL.
    I see lots of photos for our Easter Inspiration album! Yay.
    I'll try to work on that this evening.

    My cutesy bunnies get center-stage for Easter too, even tho my true collection is the real ones (preferably brown at that). But I love seeing cute ones others have, and how they are used in decorating.
    Gosh, don't EVER be hesitant about posting ANYTHING here with us. You know we are a bona fide cheering squad and support group. Plus we pretty much love everything others do, even if our own tastes run different. That is the whole fun of sharing photos and ideas!

    Welcome Bluesy, now you're "out", you can't go back! LOL.
    hugs, Karen
