Find on the Net: Pretty Kimono Bunny Dolls





Rabbits occupy an important space in Japanese culture.  Here is photo of Japanese bunny doll collection found on internet.   It seems like a wedding party with the groom and the bride at the top with the bestmen and bridesmaids.   Or maybe a royal couple with their court?

Paper White Bulb




Carolyn has a vase with pretty Paperwhite flowers.   




Paperwhite flowers grow from the bulbs.  They are a type of narcissus. 



If you look at the vase, the roots are visible.   A friend gifted Carolyn the bulbs last year. 



Paperwhite flowers and a white rabbit figurine make a beautiful table decoration.

Joanna the Miss Chewy



Hi, I am Joanna, Susanna is my dear sister.




You may notice that my coat is shorter than my sister's coat.





I have very busy teeth, mama Betty said I needed braces to tie down my teeth so that I won't chew my own coat.





Mama sometimes calls me Miss Chewy, I think I am still pretty with a trimmed coat.

Aabel Gets a Hair Cut






Aabel is a handsome buck, sweet and gorgeous.   He has done well in shows winning Best In Show and Reserve In Show, over lots of pretty does.  If there were normal years, he would've been even a bigger winner.    Normal is not what we experience in the last 10 months.   With very few shows during that period of time and no show for at least next few months, it does not seen to be logical to keep his show coat. so ....



Aabel gets a cut from the back area.




Aabel's body is exposed after the cut.




Aabel's wool fall.




Big head, where's the body?





English Angora has very tiny body but with big coat.  After the wool is cut, the body is really small.






Aabel not only has a tiny body but also compact and round, as perfect as it could be.




Aabel's beautiful wool in the bag waiting to be spun.
