The Bunny Dishes That Hopped In To My Car

I'm developing a love-hate relationship with bunnies. I love to see then hopping around the yard at sunset, but I hate the massive amount of destruction that they've inflicted on my gardens this winter. They've been so voracious, that I fear that some of the damage may be irreversible! I'm researching ways to control them, but I still have a long 'row to hoe' to solve this perplexing outdoor critter problem. Wish me luck!

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.
