Bunny Love
Hello blogging friends new and old! Glad you've stopped by for a visit!
Im sure it's no surprise to many of you that I LOVE bunnies! Shocker huh? hee! hee! My collection continues to grow and grow. I can never tire of looking for vintage stuffed bunnies. These darlings that Im showing you are some of my recent purchases.
I have some new creative ideas to use these bunnies for my future pieces I create. They will be quite altered and super whimsy!
How sweet is this aqua and pink bunny? I love it's little worn face and cute red tongue.
He's sticking his tongue out at YOU!!!! ๐
Wanna see more bunny sweetness? Lookie at this precious Bunny foo-foo face!
His name is Gucci. Gucci is an Italian name (which Im sure MANY of you ladies might know. (wink!) ) His proud new owner is my sweet and dear friend Suzanne MacCrone of Italian Girl in Georgia. Suzanne invited me and the children over last week to meet her cute furry loveable guy. He has one ear that stands straight UP and the other ear is always DOWN.
EEEK! He is too adorable for words! He hopped all over the room, and once in awhile would THUMP his back leg real loud.
When the children weren't bothering him he would spread out and chill. That's when I took a few close up shots.
Oooooh I so want one!!!! However, I dont think my yorkies Lulu and Coco would care for that too much. My girls dont like competiton.
Look! Bunnies are even drawn to me. hee! hee! ;)
Another HUUUUUUGE bunny lover is my darling friend Amy of Bunny Rose Cottage.
Amy just celebrated a birthday recently, and because she is such a loyal fan and customer of my work I wanted to surprise her and make her a small b-day gift.
"A" for Amy and all the sweet things she loves.
Pink Ele's, roses, and bluebirds.
Va Va Va Voom red head doll.
This image is from a vintage birthday card I found. Pure sugary sweetness!
Later this year I will be more than happy to take customer orders for Alphabet signs. I can do any theme for a boy or girl childs room. I will replace the doll head with a cute photo image of the child. Or, for you BIG girl grown up's I will be happy to create a personal one for yourself to hang and enjoy.
These two GORGEOUS and romantic jewelry pieces were handcrafted with love from the imaginative creative genius Christine Rose Elle of DollyBelle's Peepshow. I oooh & aaah over every piece she designs and creates. So, I felt like the luckiest girl in the world win I WON her giveaway!
Im convinced that Christine has an invisible halo and angel wings. She found and took in this homeless dog that was starving and needed medical help.
Christine decided to name him Louie and had the great idea to raise money to help cover his medical expenses and meanwhile enter your name in a giveaway. I happily donated with others, he got the wonderful medical attention he deserved, and now he his happy and living with his new owners. Christine has the BIGGEST caring heart!!! Louie was a lucky dog to cross paths with Miss Christine.
I won her beautiful Jane Austin inspired necklace.
Also, this precious whimsy doggie cuff.
Im SO happy this turned out to be a win/win situation. Louie is loved and well cared for now, and I am the THRILLED owner of more fantastic Dollybelle pieces.

Jenn,
What a wonderful post! Bunnies always remind me of my childhood, when me and my sister had bunnies for pets. I saw the “A” on Amy’s blog, and thought, how cute it was. I’m so glad that you will make them for us (yay!) Thank you for saying that you would make me a Pink Santa, and a collage; when you have time. Love, Love your work.
P.S. I’m getting a Clarasonic!
–Have a great week, Jenn

So many Pretties! Love Bunnies, we have many in our community by the way that love my Garden and all of blooming glory. I still Love them though, especially the little guys. Christine’s Work, Absolutely Inspirational. You are blessed to have her teach at your Gorgeous Event. xo Happy February. Jamie
Eeek! Too much sweetness Miss Jenn. Love the new bunnies – I thought Gucci was your bunny – I could so see you with one. The alphabet letters are a great idea – love the idea of the child’s face being at the top.

Hop-Hop-Hippity!! When I see a new post on your blog, I have to run right over! Can’t wait to see what you do with those bunnies….Eeeeek!! I’m sure it will be over-the-top cute…. as always!
Congrats on your win!!! I know how fab Christine’s work is since I own some!!
You bunnies are delicious- I’m especially drawn to the aqua and pink one, with that aged, well-loved look.

Love the bunnies! Especially the thread bare ones. My daughter (who is now 19) didn’t take her sweetie Bun-Bun with her to college in Sept. I was shocked since Bun-Bun had been all over the world with her. A couple of months into the school year I got a phone call, it was my daughter whispering “Can you send Bun-Bun” My heart melted and Bun-Bun was so excited to go to college. I have been wanting to write a post about it since I took pics before he left. You have inspired me to do it.
Hugs Sweetie,
Amada
OH soooooooooooo love the pink & aqua bunny the best. The real one is cute but, I don’t want anything else to take care of!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love your Cupcake Vendor Night Poster. Looks GREAT! Can’t wait! Still looking for a roomie! Have a great week! Hugs! Charlene
gosh, I absolutely adore the very worn – or should that be, very loved – aqua bunny. So adorable. Looking forward to seeing the whimiscal pretties you will use them for.
Lucky you with winning the giveaway! Not surprised you are delighted :o)

I love all the bunnies! The aqua one is my total fave.
I am sure Amy is thrilled with her beautiful initial you created for her. She is such a sweetheart.
I can’t wait to see new creations from you!
LuLu~*xoxo
Your blog is such a vision of lovliness and I am so inspired each time I wander through your lovely posts. Thank you for sharing so much beauty. Keep creating…
I adore that blue and pink velveteen rabbit! Can’t wait to see what happens with that one, but please tell me you aren’t going to alter the live one, well I guess a bow around the neck would look pretty cute!
Jenn, I’m putting the call out for LolliShops.com Press Kits for the LolliShops.com Sponsor to your event. I will have my vendors do a Cupcake/Parasol theme on their Press Kits!

Thanks for stopping by Jenn! I LOVE all your bunnies, but esp. love the aqua/pink with the huge ears! I feel the same way about dolls. I can’t stop collecting them!!!!!!
xoxo,
Kristin
How sweet of you to make that for Amy, she is going to love it!
I love your blog! What a great post, I especially love the aqua and blue bunny, he looks so well loved and cute! The real bunny is pretty cute too ๐
Always lovely things on your blog. You have no idea how much I want to go to your event, but am not able to. When all my birdies are out of the nest, (which isn’t too long until), I will be there. Until then, I am making press kits for Sadie, so I will be there in my press kits!
Ele,
Thank you sooo much for your loving kind words!!! Im SO *appreciative* that youve signed up to make press kitsfor my event. A million THANK YOUS!!!!
Sweet hugs!
XOXO,
Jenn
I just had to tell you how much my girls LOVE looking at your blog (me too!). They are almost 3 and just adore bunnies and ask “Mommy let’s look at the bunnies, please” Oh, mommy, that’s the bunny lady!”. Your collection is just adorable!
Best wishes,
Tammy
These bunnies are adorable, but I’m especially smitten with Gucci!

Very sophisticated creations you’ve done Jennifer, and the musical background is very classy. Keep on doing what you do best. Rabbits are sacred little creatures which epitomize innocence, softness, and and the zen of childhood memories in their myriad of mother nature themes and floppy ears. Brer Rabbit of Uncle Remus fame was actually born in Georgia. Wishing you fullfillment of hopes and dreams.
