Egg Basket and Bunnies



I have imprisoned some bunnies in a vintage egg basket.



The bunny planter on the left is made in Japan and possibly vintage while the one on the right is new and made to look crazed.


The basket was found at an estate sale and the man told me a story about where he bought it many years ago. It is from an old corner store in Augusta, Georgia and he dates it to the 1930's. He works for our local museum so I tend to believe him.
The bunnies are from thrift stores.

    Cute bunnies, Olive.

  12. Now you just need to get some chickens so you can use the egg basket everyday. What is the white thing that looks like a bird bath?
