I took one look at this photo and realized I should never have given away my cute bunnies (don’t worry, they weren’t real bunnies. I mean fake ones). Somewhere along the way, I determined that bunnies weren’t happening for me. We put them on our table every Easter for years, but decided if I wasn’t using them every day anymore, I could say goodbye! Now, I wish the bunnies were around because I’d put them on my table for Christmas too.
Sigh. I love the plaid and the woodland theme with the bunnies. Why didn’t I think of that?
Bunnies aren’t just for Easter anymore.
See why it is hard for me to downsize? I miss my old stuff. Ok. That’s all. Have a nice day.
Tip for the day:
Think outside the box for holiday decorating — combine old things in new ways.

Hi Melissa. I love the idea of bunnies at Christmastime, and the contrast against red and tartan plaid in the photograph in your post is a stunning vignette! I collect Fitz & Floyd pieces and there is a line called Woodland Snow that depicts Santa and forrest animals in the snow. So fresh and beautiful, and bunnies are such Ambassadors of Peace, aren’t they?!

Basically I think that we should use what we love! Your bunnies are cute!

Oh wait, I get it, those aren’t your bunnies.
Don’t worry, you’ll find some others…or something even better! Something that you didn’t chuck!
I feel your pain….:)

Melissa, I feel your pain. Been there and done that and I do it all the time when I sold something I loved on eBay. But maybe after you move and get settled in to your new home some cute bunnies will be available for you to buy. What a charming table setting, too! I just love all of your inspiring photos. I look at my stuff and say, “Geesh, I need to trash this and get new stuff”. haha.
love ya!

Hi Melissa, this is the first time I have commented on a blog, even thought I love them, but could’nt resist as i had bunnies too and had to downsize and I still regret it too, but like everyone else I will be on the hunt, can always downsize again, love your blog.
