Beatrix Potter is a huge favorite. Thanks for this wonderful story on her life. My mother used to read me all the stories, and the tiny books were some of the first I bought for my son when he was little. I still keep several china figurines (Mrs. Bunnykins, Mrs. Flopsy Bunny!) I treasure in a display case. Your chocolate bunny looks magnificent and much too pretty to eat!πŸ°πŸ‡

Thank you, Ruth. She was an amazing woman. My mom gave all the books to my son. They are timeless.

What a sweet story and lovely pastel. Thanks for taking us along on your museum visit and sharing details about the life of Beatrix Potter. Fascinating that her first bookβ€”loved by millionsβ€”was rejected by publishers. I am impressed that you would undertake this project of making your own molded rabbits! Very cool.

Thanks so much, Amy. Other than popping the bunny out of the mold it was very easy!

Thanks for calling this exhibit to our attention Vicki. I was happy to discover it will be there through June so we can see it in May when we return to the city for the summer.
