Amazing that we are already eight days into 2011, or as some would have it, the Year of the Rabbit. Of course, around our house every year since 2009 has been the Year of the Rabbit. That's when we adopted Shallot... Or started to foster him. It wasn't supposed to be permanent. Yeah, right! You can read more about him
here. He's a "special needs" bunny, but I'm happy to report that several days ago he was given a clean bill of health at his yearly physical. He'll always have to have his teeth trimmed every two weeks and his veggies chopped up for him, but he's come miles since we adopted him.

| Marshmellow Garden |
So, without further ado, I dedicate this blog post to bunnies everywhere. Want to do a little Year of the Rabbit shopping? Here are a few pretties I discovered while browsing Etsy...
First up is the unbearably cute "
Marshmellow Garden" by Krisblue. I wonder if Shallot would feel calmer with this hanging near his hutch? Then again, if he were any calmer he'd be asleep. Never before have I met a bunny that wanted to be friends with a manic cat.

| Hares Tshirt |
Then there's this stunning Tshirt by
NYhop... And it's even on sale! If only it were my size.

| Rabbit and Carnelian Earrings |
I'm not immune from making rabbit-themed things either. These earrings are new in my shop,
The Frog Bag.

| Rabbits - 1920s Illustration |
But the cutest thing I found had to be this set of illustrations, rescued from a damaged childrens' book from the 20s, in
Ephemera Obscura's shop.
