Taxes on Tiny Tara

~Tiny Tara ~

The Taxes on our "Tiny Tara" are due in the morning and since they go up every year ~ we need to start saving immediately for next Year. Well ~ "I can't think about that right now. If I do, I'll go crazy. I'll think about that tomorrow." Scarlett O'Hara

So ~ Taxes remind me of Tara and Tara reminds me of Scarlett ~ which reminds me of the scene where Scarlett visits Rhett in Prison........ I think I could make a "fetching" outfit out of our Living Room Drapes ~ but I don't think I know anyone in Prison. I certainly don't know anyone with any money in Prison.

Here's another Fabulous Youtube Video with Scarlett (Gone with the Wind) and featuring one of my favorite songs ~ "It's too late to apologize" by OneRepublic.



Don't forget to leave a Comment on one of my Blog Postings for the Green Market Tote Bag Giveaway. Check out the details here ~ but hurry the deadline is Midnight on 3/31/08.

Meet Isabella and Raleigh

Show and Tell


This is Part 3 in my Series entitled: Every Bunny has a "Tale"



I would like to introduce Isabella and Raleigh who are two of my Victorian Rabbits. They are "working" bunnies ~ not only do they look lovely on display ~ they are actually Candlestick Holders. We use them throughout the Year, since as you know ~ "Bunnies aren't just for Easter anymore". Yes ~ you can quote me.




Can you tell that Raleigh is missing one of his Ears? It was a horrific accident involving our Cat ~ Whiskers. I'm not sure exactly what happened since I didn't actually witness the incident. All I know is that when I entered the Room ~ Whiskers had Raleigh "pinned" on our Dining Room Table. I don't know if Raleigh was teasing Whiskers or if they were fighting over Isabella. All I know is that our Heath Insurance does not cover Cosmetic (Reconstructive) Surgery ~ especially on Bunnies. So, I've kept his Ear on ice and plan to reattach it myself with some Super Glue. Fortunately ~ it was a "clean break" so I hope there won't be a scar. Wish me Luck with the minor "Surgery"!!

Free Rice and More Bunnies!

The Giveaway for our Green Bunny Market Tote is right below this one!!

Aren't these "Bunny" Napkins adorable?!? I found the instructions on how to fold a Napkin into the shape of a Bunny and I can't wait to use them for our Easter Celebration on Sunday. Actually, we'll be using these adorable Bunnies all throughout the Year!! I love folding napkins into shapes, but never even thought about making them into Bunnies!! My Family is going to be so surprised ~ unless they happen to read this Blog!

The instructions are lengthy, but I'd love to send them to you ~ just email me & I'll send them right over to you. I found them in an old Martha Stewart magazine.


What do you think about this Logo for the new Green Bunny Market on our website? Do you like it better than the one in the previous post? I just can't seem to come up with the Perfect Logo for our new eco friendly products. Please let me know what you think ~


Isn't this Bunny just too cute? This is one of the Fabulous new products that we'll be offering on Bunny Chic Boutique in the Green Bunny Market. I can't begin to tell you how excited I am about all of these products ~ these organic toys and the Market Tote Bags. This Bunny Blankie measures 10" X 10" and is non-toxic, chemical free and certified organic cotton. Doesn't it look incredibly soft?


freerice.com is an amazing website that is dedicated to ending World Hunger. Have you heard about it yet? It's educational ~ yet so much fun! There are 55 levels of difficulty ~ but rarely anyone gets past 48. I'm not at liberty to divulge my level ~ but you can probably guess by reading my Blog postings. :)

However, it does come with a warning ~

Warning: This game may make you smarter. It may improve your speaking, writing, thinking, grades, job performance...

For every word that you get right, they will donate 20 grains of rice through the UN World Food Program to help end hunger. AND the amount of rice that they have donated since it's inception in October of 2007 is staggering: 23,383,629,450 grains of rice to date.

Please check it out by hopping here ~ it's a great alternative to Spider Solitaire (at least for me). Lauren and her friends LOVE playing on freerice.com ~

Green Bunny Products & Fabulous Giveaway!


We're so excited to announce that Bunny Chic Boutique will offer Eco Friendly Products in our new "Green Bunny Market". I need a "poster child/bunny" that immediately identifies these Fabulous new products. What do you think about this Green Bunny? Is he too modern looking or too green? I guess I should have announced the Grand Opening of the Green Bunny Market on St. Patrick's Day.

There will be several products debuting in the "Green Bunny Market" Section of Bunny Chic Boutique. We will offer Chic Market Bags and also adorable organic baby toys/blankies.

Several significant events happened all on the same Day: My Daughter went on a Field Trip to the local landfill, I received a poignant quote via email and I met a fabulous new friend in the Land of Blog.

Lauren's trip to the Landfill made such a huge impact on her and was one of those life changing moments for all of us. She was quite upset at the incredible amount of plastic bags that were EVERYWHERE ~ huge mountains of them blowing all over the Landfill. On that day home from school ~ she made an impassioned speech about this growing problem. Here are some facts from the National Geographic website:

~ It could take up to 1000 years for plastic bags to break down in the environment
~ Each year billions of bags end up as ugly litter.
~ Eventually they break down into tiny toxic bits polluting our soil, river, lakes and oceans
~ Production requires vast amounts of oil.
~ Countless animals needlessly die each year.


It is really overwhelming when you think about all of the Plastic Bags that just one family brings home from the Store in just one week or a Month or a Year. So, Billions of bags end up as litter each Year!!

She made me promise right then and there that I wouldn't use plastic bags for our groceries. I promised that I would do my part ~ even though I was thinking at the time ~ how am I going to make a difference? Yes, I admit it ~ I was being an ostrich with my head in the sand instead of a green bunny. Then......

This quote was waiting for me in my email inbox ~

"If you think you're too small to have an impact, try going to bed with a mosquito in the room."
— Anita Roddick

Yes ~ a tiny mosquito had kept me up half the night ~ what an eerie coincidence. Well, we live in Florida right next to Mosquito Lagoon ~ so this quote really "spoke volumes to me". Then......

I met Terri in the Land of Blog through the OWOH Event. We have a lot in common and I now know that our paths crossing wasn't accidental. She had some really adorable Market Bags for sale and so I purchased a few of them. I love so many things about these bags ~ they fold flat, look Fabulously Chic and I feel very European ~ just like I'm shopping in Paris in the Spring.

I'm thrilled to announce that Terri is making an exculsive line of Market Bags for the Bunny Chic Boutique website. There will be several different designs available and lots more to come.

Enter to Win a Bunny Chic Boutique Market Tote Bag!!

In celebration of our Grand Opening of the Green Bunny Market ~ we are giving away one of our Fabulous Market Bags (pictured above).

~ Close-up Photo of Fabric ~

This is just one of the many designs that will be available on Bunny Chic Boutique in our Green Bunny Market. There will be several Trendy Shabby Chic fabrics to choose from.

I'll leave you with this picture of a Sea Turtle with a Plastic Bag in it's mouth and ask ~ Are you a Green Bunny?

I'm determined to be just like a mosquito and make a huge impact!!

Please use Market Bags or even a Wheelbarrow instead of Plastic Bags!!
