Our Vintage Bunnykins Set

"Visiting The Cottage"
Royal Doulton "Bunnykins" 

If you look at my sidebar you can see a listing of my most popular postings.  

I'm always surprised that the post with the most hits is 

Vintage Royal Doulton "Bunnykins" signed by Barbara Vernon

I shot the photos for that posting in natural light on my dining room table.  I thought I would see if the china would  photograph better using our new light box and lamps.

This cute set was passed down from Hubby's Mom.  I can only assume they were his as a baby.   

"The Proposal"

Awwwww....so romantic!

The Kiss

The cup, "The Proposal,"  above shows Mr. Bunnykins kissing his fiancee after his proposal.


The backstamp for the cup with the lion coloured brown is c1937-1953.

After some research on the internet I discovered the bowl, "Visiting the Cottage," is a different subject than the cup.

 "Bunnykins" backstamp for the bowl is c1934 - 1937.

Even the backstamps are cute as can be!

Do you have a "Bunnykins"?

I'm glad we do because I love bunnies!

Red, White & I Want!


Simple...yet stunning!


I want one of these...or maybe all of them...pretty please!


Red and white check fabric...and see that beautiful glossy red chest!


I couldn't resist posting this beautiful white kitty with the red scarf and then I noticed the one blue eye and one yellow eye!


My heart is beating so quickly as I drool over this room!



Another clean white bedroom that just pops with the touches of red and light blue.  

And I love the red rick rack on the fabric shades.

And there are more REDs to enjoy with our host, Sue, at

Meet My Sweet Henry!


This is Henry, my adorable Queen's Guardsman, in his bright red coat.



Several years ago, while still working, my Hubby made his first, and only, business trip abroad to The Netherlands. 



On his way home he stopped for the day in London.



Imagine my surprise when he got home and pulled this cute fellow out of his suitcase.

One of Henry's Mates!

Although Henry will miss guarding the Queen with his fellow mates, he was very happy to come live with us across the Pond.

I'm Henry, the Queen's Guardsman!
What a Hubby!

Here he was, very limited on time, and trying to do some sightseeing in London and he thinks of me and stops in Harrods to buy a teddy bear for me!

What a wonderful loving gesture!

I never thought I would have anything from Harrods!  

And especially not something so cute as Henry.  

Thanks sweetie!  

Love Ya!
