It's Flashback Friday again and another finished bunny

Good morning everyone!

The snow and cold are back after a couple days of lovely warm weather.  The wind was howling all of yesterday and it ushered in this blast of chilly air and snow.  I am so ready for Spring, but shall remain thankful for my wood stove and warm, cozy home.

If you saw my Flashback Friday post last week, you will recall that I shared a picture of Mister Whimzies' grandfather in his garden back in 1961....and I promised you that I would have one of him as a young man.  I simply adore this picture and it hangs in our dining room.  It shows Henry as a dapper and handsome young man, together with several of his lady relatives (I can't quite recall who is who, so I will leave it at that).  Don't you love their winter attire??

I finished this lovely bunny the other day. I think she is my favorite so far!   If you are interested in purchasing her, just let me know.  I will be listing her either on Ebay or in my Etsy shop this weekend, if I get a chance...it's going to be a busy one.





For those of you who joined in my Second Annual Pin Keep Swap - I will be getting your partner's information out to you by tonight.  Thanks to everyone who joined!

Have a blessed weekend friends!

    I do like his picture as a young man. I wonder what were going through their heads as the photo was being taken; what adventure they might have been of to, etc. Your bunny is adorable!!

    I'm so taken with this vintage image!
    ... Imagine Henry and the ladies are smiling from above at having been featured here.
    As for me, I'm smiling at their fashions; and not for the first time, wishing they'd come into vogue!
