I love rabbits......
although I am not too happy when they
nibble in my garden!
Since it is the Chinese year of the rabbit,
I thought I share some pictures of these sweet
little animals.
These beautiful watercolor pictures are
by the artist Anne Dixon, bought by my hubby for me
at a show we all did together.
She has a wonderful way of capturing the beauty and
spirit of animals in all her paintings.
These oil paintings are in our dining room.
I just love them.
Notice the little rabbit in the flower pot.
Another watercolor.
And a girl can dream!
Of Spring !!!!!
We are all living a horrible Winter with tons of snow
and ice, roofs ready to collapse and bitter cold temperatures.
I am so glad that I took pictures last Summer of all
the rabbits residing in our garden.
They are buried under tons of snow now.
I can't wait to see them again.
Porch rabbits.
Finding shelter.
Bearing gifts.
This little one projects such joy.
Did you ever see a rabbit leap for pure fun?
It makes your heart melt!
A hand crafted stone rabbit I bought
while visiting my friend Paula in CT.
And now some of my beloved rabbits
that have found new wonderful homes.
They are living with people that treasure
these little creatures as much as I do.
Hope there are some of you out there,
that love rabbits too.
It's settled....we are celebrating the
It's settled....we are celebrating the
Chinese Lunar New Year with a wonderful
lunch from our favorite restaurant.
I wish you all prosperity and
happiness in this new year.
God bless,
Evi

Hi Evi,
ReplyDeleteThe rabbits you make are so glorious! And I love your collection at home...especially the water color of 2 sweet ones. We have live rabbits here (by the dozens) and I, too, love the little creatures. I have rabbit figures in the house and in the yard. Here's to the year of the Rabbit!

ReplyDeleteHi Evi, I'm over from Carole who mentioned that she missed a wonderful lunch at your place. It's nice to meet you and after reading your profile, I guess I can write in German just as well :-). Deine Hasenkreationen sind ganz entzueckend und die gusseisernen Hasen gefallen mir auch sehr gut.
