Welcome to “Show and Tell Friday!” Do you have something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, or a treasured collection. Look around your home for something to share; dig through those boxes in your closet if you have to! Share photos and the story that goes with your special item.
Today I am going to show you my bunny collection. Right now everything is in a corner of my dining room hutch, but I bring it all out in the spring.
A miniature tea set.
Bunny figurines. I like to fill them with Easter candy.
A small teapot that was a gift from my mother-in-law.
A bunny and chick salt and pepper shakers.
My favorite part of my collection are these Royal Doulton Bunnykin dishes. The girls and Benjamin each have a plate, bowl and cup.
My mom also has a set for each of my siblings and myself, and my Dad ate oatmeal in a Bunnykin bowl every morning growing up. In fact, he wore the picture right off the bottom!
Little bunnies race around the edges.
Each dish as a different scene.
What a wonderful life the Bunnykins have!
Thank you for looking at my show and tell!

Those Bunnykim dishes are so cute! I've never heard of them before. I think it's fun that your dad wore the picture off with his oatmeal!
You're really prompt - 9:00 on the dot!
Oh Kelli, I love your bunnies! The Bunnykin set is so sweet. It's all precious!

Love your bunny collection. Are you aware of the "Potting Shed"? They make reproduction Dedham Bunnies too. www.harelooms.com
Kelli, you have a wonderful bunny collection. The Bunnykins are so adorable!
Thanks for hosting Show and Tell. Have a lovely weekend.
What a fun collection! Kind of a family tradition now! Thanks for sharing it. It's things like this that make the seasons so special around your house.

Those are precious dishes! What nice memories that go with them too!
Hi Kelli,
That bunny tea set is darling. I also love bunnies. Around Easter time they are hoping all over my house.

Hi Kelly! I just love to read your blog. You are a real inspiration to me. I am amazed how you manage to do all that you do....and do it so well.
Last week-end I made the recipe for the "Chewy Oatmeal Cookies" that you have on one of your posts. They were wonderful. I am making more tomorrow to take to Church on Sunday.
I also look forward to making some of the cards you have shown. They are so simple but very elegant looking....just my style.
Thanks for all the wonderful posts. You are my favorite blogger. :-) Debbi
Your bunnies are so sweet. I like bunnies too, but only have them out at Easter. If only we could have bigger houses!!
The Bunnykin dishes are quite collectable over here and of course, always remind me of Beatrix Potter.
We have plenty of bunnies on our land this year, and Honey-monster cat has been bringing them back (dead and alive!) to show us . . .
You have a lovely collection of bunny china.
Love your bunnies! I have one
bunnykin item an egg cup! Oh now
I have to look for it, they are
so cute! Have a great day, Kelli!
Hey Kelli! I finally participated in another Show and Tell!
Oh, hey, I thought you might be interested in this tutorial. I want to make a whole bunch of these now!

I love all your bunny items. So cute.
I love this tableware for children, you are so lucky to have so much.
I love the Royal Doulton bunnykins. My eldest daughter has a cup and bowl she was given when she was born.
Thanks for sharing all those cute bunnies.
Hi,
back again from vacation....hope you are all well....Greetings Barbara
How adorable! That tea set especially. And the bunny plate and the Beatrix Potter dishes -- just so, so cute!!
I have a decorating question for the S&T ladies today.

I used to have a bunny collection, but I'm sad to say over the years alot was lost and broken or just worn out. I love your collection of bunny things! The dishes are very cute I have seen some pieces of that pattern in a few shops. My grandfather used to read me Peter Rabbit all the time, and I think that sparked my interest in bunnies.
Thank you for sharing your collection.

How sweet ! this would be something for my best friend her nick name is Bunny because she was born on Easter !
I like the bunny dishes and the tradition you're carrying on with them.

Hi Kelli -
I collect bunnies, too! I knew there was a reason I like you (besides that fact that you're clever and creative and kind!) LOL! I also collect bird-things, so that little salt and pepper set really made me smile.
Those Bunnykins are just darling! No wonder you treasure the set.
Your little bunny tea set is just darling! Love all your collection!! I still have the Bunnykin bowl and cup set that Shawn had when he was a baby so it's over 30 years old now. I had received it as a baby shower gift when I was pregnant for him:-) xoxo
Kelli,
Your bunny collection is adorable! I've never seen the Bunnykin anything before. They are very sweet! I shall have to keep a lookout for them. Doesn't spring feel like a gazillion light years away?
Gina
Hi Kelli :) They are so, so sweet! Love you, Q
Oh the Royal Doulton Bunnykin brings back memories. I used to eat my creal in that bowl! I don't know why I always grabbed that bowl in the morning. I think I ate in it until I was about 11 years old, LOL!

What cute Bunny dishes. I love them all.
What a sweet bunny collection you have! We have seen bits and pieces of it before here and there, but the whole collection is quite impressive! Since bunnies are my worst enemy in the garden, it would be a bit of a stretch to say that I love bunnies, but they are cute! We love our Bunnykins dishes too - a good friend of the family gave a set to each of the children at birth, and they are so pretty.
I love your bunny dishes with the different scenes ... adorable :o) Sue
Your bunnies are adorable. I especially like your Bunnykin set. I went with Wedgwood's Peter Rabbit china for my own little Sugar Lumpkin but find Royal Doulton's Bunnydin collection very tempting.

What a bunny collection you have! I had forgotten all about the Bunnykin dishes, I must look them up for my Granddaughter :).
Have a Fantastic Friday Kelli :)
I love your bunny collection! My son had the Bunnykin bowl and cup.
I love those dishes and the s&p set, too...so cute!
Nice to meet you,
Bella
Your bunny collection is very sweet! The teapot is my favorite.
Hi Kelly, I put up my link last nite,

next week.
What a great collection, I love the little bunny tea set, it's so terribly cute !!!!
Have a great day
That salt & pepper set is just too cute!!
I love your rabbit collection! And your bunny dishes are wonderful! Thank you for sharing! AND share and tell!
I too have put my link on Mr. Linky but it keeps disappearing. I'll try again next week as well.
Awwww! What a neat tradition to pass on!
Hi Kelli,
I love your show and tell. Congratulations on winning Kimberly's contest! :-)
How adorable! I love bunnies.. they are just so cute and for your kids to have the same kind of dishes that you and your dad had as kids is really special. Thank you for sharing.
Blessings

I LOVE YOUR COLLECTION! The bunnies are so cute. I found you through Carla's blog, and I want to join for this coming Friday. Such a fun idea. And it looks like I'm lucky #50. Awesome!
I really like your Bunnykins dishes. They've always appealed to me too, along with other bunny things. My son used to collect bunny things too, starting with a small Holland Lop rabbit that he had when he was small. It was a white rabbit, named Magic. She was very sweet.
It's very cool here today, and we had a bunch of rain fall last night. Fall's on the way!
Love the Bunnykin - they have always reminded me very much of Potter's Peter Rabbit.
Ihave Bunnykin Baby Bowl and Saving Bank.Ilove this theme.
