She found two little faux chocolate rabbits, that cost a mere $1.50. Oh, what a bargain! But the sweet little brown bunnies wore collars of pink ribbons. Being that she was not a "pastel'ly" type of gal, she adorned them with polka dots in whimsical black and white.
But after tying one ribbon short and then another quite long, she decided the longer was much more befitting and fun.....
...and gaily clothed them both in extravagant amounts of ribbon for such dear little guys,
... then tucked them amidst a make-shift Easter vignette.
Also adding to the collection of new, a cute festive green porcelain basket....
...topped with a petite shiny rabbit peeking into chocolate kisses galore!
But it didn't end there, ....one more addition, a white plaster rabbit to brighten the dining room with his sweet pot of daisies.

And so, for less than $20, the young lady had brought the freshness of spring into her home and was satisfied for the time being, but not giving up on her search, oh no!
....off they went to look some more,
The Two Rabbits {and I}!

I LOVE your little story. The items you have purchased are just too CUTE!!! I LOVE all of them! I need to get out my Easter decorations....I think it is time!♥ Oh, and I do hope you find where you stored your Easter items from years past.
Cute story, and precious bunnies. I love spring decorations! Yours are lovely. Deb
Love those choc bunnies. The bows just put them over the top....will have to see if our Big Lots has them..but I think different things to different size stores.
Enjoy the week!
No luck yet, I see - but I did find my chocolate. I went to Target to buy Hershey's & Dove eggs and had "sticker shock". What used to be 2/$4 is now 2/$7 ON SALE! I bought them anyway....I needed the chocolate to console me - Boo Hoo! Our Big Lots folded, it wasn't as nice as everyone else's I have been reading about. Maybe Jacob and I will travel "outside of my 5 mile comfort zone" tomorrow and visit the one in Brooklyn Center. I want some of those chocolate bunnies! I hope you find what you are looking for! ~ Robyn
I gotta run to Big Lots!
And everyone lived happily ever after! Loved this, Rhonda! I'm so glad you got spring fever and decided to go buy more little springness for your home! Everything looks so sweet. I love that little bowl with the bunny trying so hard to climb inside!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;) ...the end :)
I love that! Are you sure those aren't real chocolate? They look good enough to eat!
The faux chocolate bunnies certainly are "sweet" with their new polka dot ribbons! But I simply adore that little chubby bunny climbing up the green bowl! What a cutie pie he is! All your spring-y decorations are just lovely! I hope you find your MIA decorations soon!
I LOVE your chocolate bunnies, I might just have to go to Big Lots...
I enjoyed your story and it is time to go find mine....Do you lend your bunnies out?
Wait, I think I'll head over to Big Lots tomorrow and see what I can find! It all looks charming. I am glad you are feeling better!
Thank you for coming by and leaving me a sweet comment.

I love your bunnies! Especially the white one with the daisies! Your house is looking so springy!

This was such a fun post! Loved your fairytale, and I'm so glad it wasn't about spring cleaning (you're right that would be a horror story). Your Easter decor is wonderful, and what great deals! How pretty that you dressed those bunnies up with the ribbon. laurie

Good Morning Miz Rhonda,
Thanks for stopping by and leaving me such sweet comments on my projects~Thank you!
Your story is cute, as cute as those chocolate bunnies you found! I love them with the black and white polka dot ribbon. Your larger white rabbit looks perfect on your dining room table too *smiles*
I have a rabbit like that I got at Cracker Barrell two years ago. Looks SO real! I love your decor.
Hi Rhonda...cute story! I have some of those chocolate bunnies from Big Lots, but I wasn't clever enough to dress mine up like you did...I hope you are having a sweet St. Pat's Day! ;-) Bo
Love those faux chocolate rabbits...very suave. Hope you find your other Easter decorations!
