Another kind of cotton...

Isn't this bunny just precious?! She sports a glittery umbrella and a cupcake wrapper skirt while leaning against an old metal fence with chenille stem vines growing up it! She was made by my wonderfully talented blog friend Laurie of Magpie Ethel. We did a little swap for Easter and I am thrilled by what she sent me. So thrilled in fact that I couldn't help but buy two more fabulous pieces from her Etsy shop!!

I had been eyeballing this sweet gal for some time now and was surprised to see that she was still available. I decided that it was finally time and nabbed her along with...

Mr. Fabulous Chef!! This guy is so cheery and jolly...he reminds me of John Candy. I of course put him in the kitchen on the tiny shelf above the peninsula. He ironically sports a meatballs and gravy recipe on his base. Being a vegetarian I'll pretend that they are veggie meatballs and gravy...yum!! :)

Lauries makes her figures using almost all if not completely all vintage materials (which I LOVE) and she always uses these fabulous spun cotton heads which I never never seem to find when I'm out treasure hunting at the flea markets. She sometimes makes the bodies using beads, but my favorites are the ones with the thread ball bodies...it always makes them so cute and jolly.

Thank you Laurie for swapping!!! :)
