Bunny Collectors

There is something about a bunny that melts even the toughest heart. Maybe it is the wiggly nose, maybe the floppy ears, maybe the way they look perpetually surprised. A hand-painted Limoges rabbit makes a sweet gift for Easter baskets, spring birthdays, baby showers or the gardener who secretly forgives the bunnies for eating her lettuce. Each box is hinged, painted by hand in France and arrives gift-boxed, and unlike the chocolate kind, nobody will bite its ears off.

Carrots, Baskets and Garden Mischief

This burrow is busy. A mother rabbit rocks her baby, a bunny pops out of a watering can, another clutches a carrot on a painted egg, and a white rabbit sits quietly on fresh green grass. Some bunnies hide in yellow Easter baskets while others relax on oblong boxes with spring flowers all around. The details are the fun part: pink-lined ears, little cottontails and paws folded just so. Under each lid is a tiny hiding place, perfect for a jellybean or a pair of earrings.

A Collection That Multiplies

Bunny collectors joke that their collections breed like, well, rabbits. One Easter box turns into a spring tradition, and soon there is a whole meadow on the hutch. A nice way to start: give one bunny a year to a child or grandchild, so they grow up with a collection all their own. Display them on a mossy tray, nestle them into a spring centerpiece or line them along a kitchen windowsill next to fresh herbs.

Bunnies are made for Easter & Easter Baskets. Garden-loving rabbits will feel at home with Watering Cans & Garden Tools, and wilder cousins live in Woodland Critters. Before buying, read how to spot genuine Limoges.
