I found this adorable wooden bunny rabbit in a wonderful Cottage Antique and Collectible shop in McHenry, IL a few years ago. (Because he's so cute, you'll probably be seeing him again in later posts!) The 1940's swan was a thrifty find from Michigan City, MI and, of course, they just have to "speak" to each other. The beautifully crafted barkcloth pillow was also discovered in McHenry.The photo is of a tiny corner of a former clothes closet that I have turned into a cottage fun spot for storing some of my scrapbooks, photo albums and fabrics as well as showcasing some of the vintage finds I enjoy seeing every day.
I had the door of the closet removed and the interior painted pumpkin, the same color as the adjoining bedroom. It's a small closet but provides a lot of useful space whereas it formerly held only a few off-season coats and jackets so was really not of much use...well, not of much use for a creative cottage lover anyway! I'll be showing you more of my closet storage ideas and vintage finds in later posts...so stay tuned!

I love your rabbit. I have acollection of rabbit things. I love rabbits. We found a domestic rabbit that someone left in the woods. Miss Lilly Bun Buns lived with us for many many years. She was the sweetest little girl and I miss her. Sharon PS Thanks for coming by my blog. I used to ski in Iron Mountain Mi. Loved it.
ReplyDeleteOh yes! I love rabbits too and have quite a collection. Can't resist a single one of them! How sad that a domestic bunny was left in the woods but how wonderful that you rescued her! Miss Lilly Bun Buns, what a sweet name! I'm originally from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and also used to ski at Pine Mountain. Small world! Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment. I love comments!
