Sharing Books about Bunnies

                                                             

                                                                    Hello there friend !

                                                               

                                                                  To me, nothing says 

'SPRINGTIME' like

Bunnies!

I see my Bunny Book collection is 

multiplying like rabbits.

Little Golden Books are an easy way to start a collection.

I've picked these up here and there.

The Bunny Book is a favorite of mine by Patsy Scarry

and illustrated by Richard Scarry.

For Little Golden Book's 75th Anniversary 

many classics were reprinted. 

 The Whispering Rabbit by Margaret Wise Brown's is definitely a classic.

This copy of The Lively Rabbit is from 1943

before Little Golden books had the gold foil spine.

Uncle Wiggily's Story Book was my Dad's favorite.

I was able to share it with my children.

I'm looking forward to sharing it again with

my Grandchildren .

The illustrations are so detailed

This Little Jack Rabbit is another adorable series.

Sometimes I will pickup a book just by the cover.

I haven't read read this one yet but I liked the cover.

I found these two books on my shelf-

both by Carolyn Sherwin Bailey.

This is a funny story!

Have you read this book ?

Such a sweet story and I love the illustrations.

These small Elf- Tale books from Whitman are easy to find.

I just started collecting these Beatrix Potter books 

for my Granddaughter.

Her mother told me they were her favorites from childhood.

Tell me if you have a favorite bunny

story I need to add to my collection.

I'm always on the lookout.

A Bright Easter to you

Greetings my friend !

I wanted to share with you one of my new 

Ellen H. Clapsaddle postcards.

I love the sweet faced children in her paintings!

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!

 According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again

 to a living hope through the resurrection

 of Jesus Christ from the dead.” — 1 Peter 1:3

I hope you have a blessed Easter.

Faux Tin Tile Bunny

Hello My Friends! 

Most of the Craft and Dollar Stores have

some chunky cut outs for Spring!

There are so many ways to decorate these.

I used this bunny cut out because

he can stand on his own-

I also needed one of these tiles from the Dollar Tree.

Have you seen these SELF- ADHESIVE WALL TILES ?

They are made of plastic with a raised 3D design.

They are 12'' x 12'' and  $1.25 each

Easily cut with scissors or utility knife.

I removed the backing adhesive sheet. 

I will not be using it.

I traced the area needed

with a pencil.

Save the scraps-

I used white glue to attach tile to the wood piece.

After the glue dried I cut around the bunny shape.

Then painted the entire bunny with white acrylic paint.

I used a damp cloth to wipe paint off on some areas.

The gray raised areas show through.

I put the bunny on a shelf along with a gingham jar 

that I painted a few years ago.

Here's a tutorial on my Jars, in just about any color!

Gingham Jars

With some of the scrap pieces I was able to

cover a wooden heart-

to hang

and to display in my bathroom

and the roof of a small birdhouse.

-sold-

These tiles are so easy to use!

I recommend you give them a try.

Thank you for visiting!

Wood Spindle Carrots

Hi Friend,

These wood spindles were from a couple of broken chairs 

left out for the trash.

We took them home and used a rubber mallet

to take the chairs apart.

It was easy and a little bit fun!

I have seen so many people

 making these carrots- I had to give it a try.

I had three spindles

that were pretty long, so I cut

them in half.

Now I have 6 pieces.

I left one end flat and used sandpaper to round the other end.

I drilled a hole in the wide end.

I wanted to add some greenery.

I was able to divide this piece into 6 sections.

I will trim the stems short to resemble real carrots.

but first I need to paint-

I used a little brown mixed with Harvest Orange

They needed a couple coats of paint

   After they dried I glued on the greenery

and trimmed the tops of the carrots.

and done!

I had some Raffia in my gift wrapping stash.

I tied 3 together to make a little bundle.

 

I moved the scale back were it belongs then

I tucked them inside a tool box

with some German Paper Mache Eggs.

I may leave them on the table for now,

Thanks for visiting today!

HAPPY SPRING!

These spindles were made into flags!
