Despite the little eating machines gobbling up my shrubs and plants, I'm still attracted to them, so I was immediately smitten by these dishes when I stumbled across them online.
With Easter and Spring just around the corner, they'd make perfect luncheon or salad plates and the shape was interesting without being too fussy. The only thing I didn't like about these plates was the price. Sometimes you have to think with your head, and not a heart that's currently filled with dish lust, so I put my desires on hold and pretty much forgot about them.Then I walked into TJ Maxx last week, and look what I found...the bunny dishes! The price was 60% less than on line and there was no shipping charge to tack on to the total. There were 8 on the display, but only 6 were in perfect condition. I scooped them up and practically ran to the register! When I got home, it was a nice suprise to see that I had placemats and napkins that complimented them perfectly. Here are the other designs in the set...
Now these are bunnies that I'm sure I'll love for years to come, and the only destruction they might cause is to waistlines when dessert is served.

Oh, my, I am seriously loving these plates. I'm so happy you found these beauties! We don't have a single bunny (or songbirds)at the farm...when we lived 2 blocks from downtown, we had possums and bunnies galore. I can't figure it out. Bandwith thinks the hawks are getting them.

LOVE YOUR DISHES!!!!!!

I'm gonna get over to TJ Maxx to see if I can find those dishes. They are adorable and would go so well with EVERYTHING! I think they are very sophisticated for Easter. Not the usual pastels.
ReplyDeleteLove them!
