We
are being very picky about our bunnies, our chicks, and our décor at the store
this year. Somehow, last year’s bunnies
won’t do for this year, and they’ve been donated to us by the acre. They are everywhere. We are really grateful.
The
Discovery Shop here is a very busy store run by one part time manager, and one
very, very part time semi manager. All
the rest of us are volunteers. Our
manager is the best one they have and is willing to rearrange and redesign the
store regularly to bring in more business.
It works.
Right
now she is being ruthless with bunnies. If
a bunny shows the least spot or wear, out it goes to Father Joe/St. Vincent de
Paul’s. I confess that I’ve rescued a
bunny or two out of the Father Joe pile lately.
Sentimental me. Then one of the
other ladies wants the bunny, and off it goes to a new home….not mine. You would laugh at me. Once we flipped a coin over a bunny. I lost.
George
is very grateful I haven’t brought these multiplying rabbits home.
Such a cute bunny to remind us of the approaching holiday. We have a St. Vincent's here in Fredericksburg TX as well.
ReplyDeleteThere are those women who love stuffed animals...others it is dolls...me I like folk art. Right now I am enjoying the quiet at the end of the day with all three little ones in bed. Up early tomorrow as each has a different arrival schedule!
ReplyDeleteGood for you being polite. I'm not anymore. Cranky me, but enough is enough.
ReplyDeleteThe bunny in your photo looks extremely huggable. How could he end up in a shop again? Some child misses him, or should.
My Dad used to punish me by taking away a doll and never returning it. I seldom think of it any more unless I see a cast-off toy.
My kids loved The Velveteen Rabbit.
yes, yes, yes! very grateful!
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to have a seasonal theme. Sue is forever changing her accents around the place -- just enough to keep it current and variable.
ReplyDeleteOh my! They are awfully cute, Mage. I'd be tempted too.
