A Beatrix Potter Kind of Day

Waiting for our tea and biscuits at the Bunny Bungalow.

Beatrix Potter
28 July 1866-22 December 1943

Every year at The Bunny Bungalow on the 28th of July, we remember Beatrix Potter by having tea and biscuits from our little Peter Rabbit dishes and reading her wonderful Peter Rabbit books to each other. So, here's a tip of the tea cup to you, Miss Potter, and thanks for all the magical, wonderful characters you created.

Happy Birthday Beatrix Potter!

Happy Birthday, Miss Potter

July 28, 1866-December 22, 1943

Did you actually believe that we at The Bunny Bungalow would forget that today is the birthday of Beatrix Potter?  We could never forget the creator of such a delightful bunny world.  Happy Birthday, Miss Potter.

P.S. Click on the photograph of the Peter Rabbit cup to find the tiny "flaw" and learn why he is Peter Rabbit.  The other cup in the tea set is not thus endowed.

Beatrix Potter Watercolor Brings £289,500 at Auction

Tea at The Bunny Bungalow

A charming watercolor, of bunnies putting on their coats and taking their leave of a party, was sold for £289,500 at auction by Sotheby's in London today. The painting was completed by Potter in about 1892. Not bad for an author/artist who received so many rejections that she initially had to publish her own books.

Note: As I do not have permission to use a photo of the painting, I have provided a link here so that you may enjoy it. Also have a look at this site about Beatrix Potter' s life and work. It has delightful pictures, activities, parent/teacher resources and information about Ms. Potter and her characters.
