RIP Clarence

We’re very sorry to tell you that after a short illness Clarence died peacefully today.

We’ll let you know very soon who will be keeping you posted with news from The Rabbit, so please bear with us.

It’s tinsel town here!!!

The shop is awash with decorations and glitter galore now. I can’t find my bed in the stockroom so am permanently camped out on the counter- well, actually I’m seeing how many Christmas tips I get!

Not long now till Dickensian- hope you can all make it this year after last year’s snow and ice stopped most of the fun.

There’s been lots of work going on around me to fill the shelves with goodies. The shop isn’t just full of decorations but a whole host of gifts- bath products, homewares, books, French inspired goodies and retro accessories!

Call in and see me- and don’t forget my treat!

Oh the indignity…

Well now, I thought I would have a summer of plenty of mouse catching but I thought wrong! I visited the vet for my usual checkup and do you know what? The next thing I awoke minus my teeth- oh the indignity of it all- they’d gone bad! All those years of living rough have definitely taken their toll. I’ve spent time recuperating on the counter and making sure I was fed plenty of tasty morsels to compensate for my loss.

Now that the seasons are changing again there are plenty of new boxes arriving at the shop and my cosy stockroom is becoming full with interesting new things to discover over the coming months. There’s lots of sparkly stuff being crammed in and there’s a growing excitement in the air. There’s plenty to distract me from thoughts of mouse chasing and I’ll let you know my favourite finds as they are unwrapped. Or, if you’re in the area just drop by and I’ll give you a personal guided tour!

The mice are here…

... at last it’s sunny out there and the mice have decided to escape inside to the storeroom- they’ve made themselves right at home in cigar and matchboxes! Watch out for them online- you’d better be quick before I chase them away or on second thoughts… I might fancy a tasty snack instead!

It’s summertime…

I can now get out and about in the long evenings and hunt to my heart’s content. I’ve gathered up plenty of goodies and stashed them away for the right moment! But, to the matter of what I’ve got new for you… I found some fairies down in the woods and they are happy to create a magical party table for little girls. Whether its plates or invites or a dancing fairy centrepiece you are hunting just take a peek and they will start to appear very soon online.

Also on my twilight travels I discovered Celeste and her friends- lovely soft playmates for tots to curl up with. If they’re not for you watch out for the Lion, Elephant and Rabbit Doll or if man’s best friend is your soulmate maybe you should have a look at Philbert? Not my cup of tea though- he is a dog after all!!

Have you seen my ancestor? See if you can spot her in the vintage section of homewares!

Well, I’m off a little stroll down to the river and back to see if the fish are jumping, as nobody has bought me my ham from the bakery today!

Easter goodies are here….

It’s not long now till Easter- all those yummy eggs and chicks! I have added some lovely Easter themed items- just purr-fect for welcoming spring in with longer days and warmer weather.

Why not serve up a scrummy tea party on the Hoppy Bunny plates with coordinating napkins and polish it off with cupcakes and toppers to match. If you’re after the calorie free Easter goodies then look no further as I have floral, metal and glitter eggs to adorn twigs left bare after the hard winter.

Looking for something to present your gifts in? What about buckets for spring plants and bulbs, decorated cardboard eggs to fill with goodies or little patchwork and button giftbags to fill with miniature chocolate eggs for little ones?

New in…

I have been hard at it today putting new products into the shop for you. If you fancy brightening up mealtimes why not take a look at the fabulous new red check gingham tableware printed with farmyard animals- choose from placemats to aprons to cushion covers.

Started thinking about Mother’s Day- what about a pretty vintage style rosebud tin? Fill it with her favourite treats and she’ll be in seventh heaven!

Anyone spotted me on telly yet? Why not dip into Channel 4′s new series, ‘Love Thy Neighbour’ on Thursday evenings- let me know if you spot me just in case I’m too busy drinking my milk!
