Today is Blue Monday at Smiling Sally's, and it's always fun when we get together and share our blues, proving once and for all that blue is a happy color as in blue skies or for me, blue bunnies! I want to thank Sally for always being such a gracious and fun hostess and let her know we love her! :-)
As you can tell, I've been playing with some of my bunny collection, and since we're sharing blue, I thought I would share these with you. The bunnies featured here were gifts from my MIL as she loves bunnies and spring decorations about as much as anyone I've ever met. I've had these for a long time, and they have hopped from place to place as we've moved about over the years...
Fishnet Bunny is similar in style to the Herend rabbits but a fraction of the cost which works for me! Notice how Teapot Bunny is eyeing her. Teapot Bunny is one of the older ones (older as in I've had him longer). He is quite the character with an expressive face [Note to Self: Has Teapot Bunny been watching Jim Carey movies?]...
Teapot bunny considers himself quite the lady's man, and he is an incorrigible flirt...
He's had a crush on Box Bunny for some time. Her sister lives at Professor Debbie's house, and Box Bunny has another relative I spotted somewhere hopping down the bunny trail last week...
But what Teapot Bunny doesn't realize is that Box Bunny considers herself the femme fatale of bunnydom...
Just look at that shapely figure...
And when she twitches that cute little nose...
The guys just don't have a chance...
Can you say, "Bunny in the headlights???"
I've enjoyed my bunnies and their escapades enormously...
They've been a lot of fun to have around the house...
They can be fairly well trained and cute...
Whether they are single...
Or in tandem...
And even though sometimes they find it hard to sit still [like the bunny in the foreground... doesn't he look like he's moving???]...
They make me smile...
And that, my friends, is all she wrote, which brings us to the end of our little blue bunny tale! ;-)
Thank you so much for visiting me here at my nest, and I look forward to visiting you at yours! Please feel free to join me over at Smiling Sally's where lots of Blue Monday participants have lots of great blueness to share with you!
Happy Blue Monday!
Quintessentially,
Mrs. Magpie (Sheila) :-)
P.S. All comments today count toward my blog drawing whose contents will be announced soooooooon. LOL! ;-)

Your bunnies are truly adorable. I was on my way to bed, and I just had to hop on over to see you.

This part "And even though sometimes they find it hard to sit still" just made me laugh out loud!
Cute post Shelia! I have one almost like one of your bunnies!
Ohhhh my gosh those are the cutest bunnies I have ever seen! And! They look even more adorable in the basket!!
All the best,
Allison
Sheila,
What a FABULOUS BUNNY TALE! You are just so creative and what can be better than all those cute blue and white bunnies. Have a Happy Monday, Cindy
I like the one that looks like it is sitting up on its hind paws. But all together, the entire community playing together makes for the best story.

These are so cute, and your little bunny tale made me grin this morning. Kathy (love the dancing bunnies in your header photo!)
Oh, Most Precious One! How cute is this! I love your bunnies sporting a hint of blue. I can see they are quite mischievous! Now these little cuties would not hit the spot as much if weren't for your wonderful telling of the bunny tale!
Be a sweetie,
shelia ;)
Your bunnies are delightful!
I have a bunny just like the ones in the first picture!! I've had it for years. I purchased it at the china shop I work at in college.
Hi Sheila...There is my Box Bunny's sister!! I love your fishnet bunnies....so cute! And your teapot is adorable! But I couldn't take my eyes off of the tray...so adorable and unusual! Was the lettuce built in? I haven't seen anything like it! Beautiful Blue Monday post! Have a great week...hugs...Debbie
I used to give one of these to my DiL every birthday for several years. I love them. Thanks for sharing. Happy Blue Monday.
Where did you get the lettuce?
So cute....I enjoyed your blog...so happy! Lu
I sang this song the whole time I read your post {it's adapted from a veggietales song}

I LOVE the Herend rabbits but could never afford them, even one! As usual, your post is beautiful and I especially love that box bunny has solid blue ears!
Roses are red,
Bunnies are blue ...
They're so sweet,
Just like YOU!
So cute, Sheila ... and your Palm Sunday post was so beautifully written it brought tears to my eyes. You should write a book, my friend.
Sincerely,
Janie
Hi Shelia,
These bunnies have captured my heart, I hope everyone clicked and got to look at them close-up. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Sheila,
Ok, I know they're adorable and all, but do they really behave well? :-)
I'm fascinated with the teapot bunny. And I wanted to see all it's views. It's so cute to see the hole in his hands :-)
Hi Sheila,
Your bunnies are so adorable! You're quite the story teller! Happy Blue Monday!
Blessings,
Sandi
Good morning Sheila! I love all your sweet blue bunnies and the stories to go with them...
Good Morning precious Shelia,
I enjoyed your fun bunny tales and escapades. I love they were gifts from your mother in Law who knows and loves you so well.
The basket with the lettuce in it is a pefect place for keeping all bunnies happy.
I enjoyed seeing each and everyone of your blue bunnies and getting to know the fun personalites! They are adorable.
Happy week to you!

Blog Drawing????? Lol...is it for yards and yards and yards of fabric?
Count me in.......
Love the bunnies....what a lovely MIL .....
How is the dear Mr. Magpie?
I have not been able to access the internet alot lately...pleanty of scrolling down to older posts! Hoppy Spring and Hoppy Blue Monday!
Hi Sheila...your blue bunnies made me smile too...Mr. Teapot does have flirtatious eye...I think he winked at me once...LOL...I loved the mossy/grassy tray you featured them in & the gorgeous heads of lettuce too...surely they were ceramic...or those rascal rabbits would have devoured them. As always, your posts are so much FUN! ;-) Bo
nice. I collect bunnies too, I think 12 or 14 bunnies. some bunnies are brown, other two were tan, other one is white. some are cracking. I will post these but now they are outside on garden. Maybe tomorrow I will pictures them.
Love your Bunny Tales (and tails)! You fooled me. I would have sworn that Fishnet Bunny was Herend!
Happy Blue Monday!
Robin
Both the bunnies and the story are cute☺
Happy Blue Monday, Sheila!
Oh Sheila!! They make me smile, too!! I love that grassy tray they hang out on, too!! You have such flair my dear Mrs. Magpie!!
Have a joy-filled week! You bless us all!!
Hugs 'n joy,
Becky
They are beautiful girl...I love box bunny...she must be a Southern Belle! Oh and that basket tray thingy you have them in ohhhh I need one of those! Happy Blue Monday sweetie! ♥

I love these bunnies! They would match my blue bowl. Ah Ha!! So that must be why you want my shiny blue bowl! To go with your shiny blue bunnies. I love how you have them displayed and with lettuce too. Hope you had a Happy Blue Monday. Also a have a Happy Easter. My week is going to get busy and it will be hard to visit everyone.
Thank you all SO much for visiting! I'm planning to get by to see your blueness. Lots and lots going on right now, so if I inadvertently miss visiting, please know I'm trying! :-)
XO,
Sheila :-)
Just wanted to let you know I did my Blue Monday on my craft blog yesterday because it was a crafty blue. Also made it a Met Monday post too. Because it was a metamorphis as well. Thanks for visiting me again!!
Sheila I just love your little "herd" of blue bunnies, they make me smile.
Shiela - these bunnies are too darn cute!! Love them {who wouldn't?}
SO glad you enjoyed them!
XO,
Sheila :-)
Hi Sheila
I want your bunnies!! They are so cute and would be very happy at my house with my bunnies. Maybe they can come and play sometime :)
Hugs, Rhondi
Your bunny collection is divine!
Hi Sweet Sheila,
I know you're very busy, but I'm hoping you'll pop in and see that I stopped by to tell you I'm praying for you and miss the sunshine you radiate throughout the blogosphere!!
Although we haven't met in person, you have a place in my heart!! We live pretty close, so maybe one day we can do lunch or something!!
You can email me anytime at holidayinthesun_1@yahoo.com
Blessings to you, sweetie,
HUGS!!
