Today’s theme? Bunny rabbits. I love little bunny rabbits – we have several of them on the property here at Mockingbird Hill Cottage. I can’t resist them. You met my newest bunny, Mr. Bunn, yesterday. How about some bunny egg cups?
These sweet egg cups are from my collection. I love each and every one of them. I have more to share with you later this week. The book you see – A Girl of the Limberlost by Gene Stratton Porter – is a book I loved in my childhood. My grandmother gave me a copy when I was a girl. Several years ago I bought a copy just like the one she gave me which had unfortunately gone missing. Recently, I found this beautiful vintage edition and couldn’t resist. The graphics on the cover are gorgeous.
Back to bunnies. I was in Target recently and found some bunny ears for $1.00. Into the basket they went. Don and I always call Scout’s pink and white ears ‘bunny ears.’ You can see where this is going – I had to put them on Scout.
She doesn’t look too pleased, does she?
Uh oh…there’s that look. Let’s try them on Riley instead.
And I thought it was such a great idea.
Square #29:
D for Don, the love of my life, who’s heart is broken at the loss of his father.
Have a wonderful Monday.
Dear Claudia & Don,
May peace find it’s way into your heart and home and the love you have for each other and your father blanket every part of your life with it’s comforting warmth.
Hugs,
Meri
How could you do that to those sweet puppies, honey?!?! LOL LOL My first laugh of the morning.
I love your square this morning. Next time there is a “stitch-along” let me know and I’d love to participate. I love embroidering but haven’t done much for several years. I’d love to participate in one of these though.
Hoping your household is getting back to somewhat normal….

The dog is really funny ! we need laugh….
Thanks for your kind comments Claudia.
See you around
Those bunny ears looked so cute on the dogs, even if they didn’t stay on long. ! :-)
I really like your egg cup collection and can’t wait to see more pics later in the week.
LOL, your Scout is a lot like our Hannah was, she didn’t like it when we did things like this to her but she tolerated it and your Riley is like Kodak, NO WAY, get these things off of ME!!!
Your egg cups are fabulous, Claudia!!
xxoo

Great bunnies. Especially the canine one!!! Tears came to my eyes when I saw your square for the day.
Your egg cups are just too precious. I love them! Scout does look very pleased. What a sweet dog and a good model too. Poor Don. It’s so hard to loose a parent. I imagine this holiday will be tough for him.
Love,
Susan and Bentley
xxoo
I giggled when I saw your dog with the bunny ears.. the look on his face.. like “are you serious?” ha!
Love those sweet bunny egg cups.
Blessings!

I love your bunny egg cups!!! while I have a few I don’t have nearly as many as you do, I’m going to have to be on the lookout for more since they look so sweet all displayed together!
What cute bunnies Claudia! especially that big guy who’s not looking so happy:)

Perfect doggie, perfect square. I’m having trouble with blogger too!

Love your squares Claudia. And I adore your bunnies. I think Scout looks just like the Easter bunny in his ears!!! I think Riley isn’t too keen on the idea.
I think that is so cool that Gene Stratton Porter’s book was one of your faves when you were a girl too. It was one of mine and then I went on to read all the other books by GSP. Another fave of mine by her, was The Magic Garden. I have them all still today. I enjoy rereading them.
hugs
Hi Claudia,
I’m so sorry to hear about Don’s father, my thoughts are with you and Don.
Your egg cup collection is divine! Love the photos of Scout and Riley…Scout has the cutest expression and well…I can’t make out Riley’s face. LOL
Hugs,
Karyn
lol
I love your last two bunnies!! I get that last one a lot around here!! Enjoy bunny time!
Happy Spring!
Hugs, Lisa
Oh, the things we put our pups through… (giggle) Love the bunny ears! Scout looked like she tolerated it pretty well! I can’t keep anything on Hagrid’s head for more than 30 seconds!
Hugs,
Jill
Hello Claudia,
These cups and the bunnies are cute cute cute! I think it would be so much fun drinking from them. Makes the the drink much more special? LOL
I remember you sharing Scout’s pink ears on a PS post. I guess she’s thinking she already have one so she won’t need them anymore :-)Now for Riley, well, boys will be boys.
Have I mentioned, love what your doing with your embroidery project? It is a dream to be able to do this kind of stitch work. What I love most about yours is that every square represented something different in your home and in your life.
Mizpah,

Your puppies are adorable…love your egg cups…I need to get all mine out and fill them with eggs. Happy week to you my friend. xo
Love your bunny post! Bunny egg cups and doggie-rabbits are just too darn cute! “Girl of the Limberlost” – one of my favorite books of all time! I once happened upon the film a while ago and it was really wonderful too! We visited Gene Stratton-Porter’s homes in Indiana a few years ago and I could feel her presence in her rooms. What an amazing adventure that was!
Wishing you a fabulous week!
Coralie
sorry about your loss.
great egg cups collection
Love all your egg cups but I think the bunny and chick ones are the cutest!
And your stitched squares are beautiful!
