Rain rain go away! Come back again another day!

Some shots of the beautiful new French China we have in.

Rain rain go away! Come back again another day! What a wet month it's been- hoping that August may bring out the sun. This month we've had plenty of pretty china from France to try to give us a feeling of summer inside despite the grey skies outside.

Jubilee mania has hit the Rabbit

Great excitement here- it's such an exciting month and we've had so much fun decking the shop out with Union Jack bunting, cushions, bags, tea towels and anything else we can find with a flag on! The partyware has been a big hit.

Missing Clarence...

It has certainly been rather quiet around The Rabbit without poor old Clarence- there's nobody to greet us in morning and there isn't the mad hunt each afternoon to find him before the shop closes for the night. On the plus side we do have the counter back instead of him using it as his bed but for the most part it's a bit lonely without him.

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!
