Sylvain rabbit and I are having a flapjack before we tackle the wildest part of the garden - stinging nettles and thistles galore. The flapjack will bring energy!

A few of the lovely things available in our Garden and Nature collection. We have lots of Moulin Roty's Le Jardin du Moulin in stock, along with a few other bits and bobs to support outdoor adventures and play....

Happy May Day from the Grand Family animals! Ralph and I are mixing a bit of work and gardening with a nice bank holiday nap... but if we had a may pole, we'd be dancing around it for sure!

The scene under my desk this afternoon, where Ralph is sharing my hot water bottle 💕🐇

Staying dry and cosy today. He hopped outside first thing, assessed the situation (rain, wet ground), then hopped right back in. Wise.

On this drizzly damp day, I am sharing something sunny and happy - one of my Little Grey Rabbit books. Find this little treasure in the Vintage collection along with other lovely old finds...

Brrr! Have just trekked up to the orchard to gather some twigs for Ralph - it's properly chilly! But that's it now - we're staying in for the evening. The picture is from a lovely old Ladybird book - lots of vintage children's books on the website 📚🐇

Sunday morning yoga for Ralph and me, then we plan our day. Was thinking a long walk but it's really cold and grey, not sure..

Ralph and I are sizing up the unpacking project. I'll handle the toys inside, he'll take care of the cardboard box.

Ralph is in the Cottontails office with me this morning, doing a bit of personal grooming before he launches himself into a productive nap....

It feels like spring today!

And a little Cottontails post for you too.... Another reminder the Winter Sale continues, with these little bunnies reduced to just £10 each....

In case I haven't mentioned on here.... there is a Winter Sale in full swing at Cottontails! Well. I say 'in full swing' but I barely selling anything in January (such is toy retail!) Anyway, some bargains to be had as I clear out ahead of some lovely new arrivals for spring...

Hello everyone! This is me making a commitment to be more active on here.... I find myself defaulting to X still so want to make a concerted effort to be here, in this nicer, cleaner, simpler world.... x

Yes, what? I'm busy in my hay box....

The Cottontails Winter Sale is underway....... It feels a bit sad to be replacing festive images with a wintery tree and discounts, but I am trying to think of it as a clearing the way for exciting new things, and spring being just around the corner. (I spotted some snow drops yesterday!)

Counting down to midnight..... Happy New Year everybody! Charlotte & Ralph xxx

After 24 days of Advent Bunnies, it is time to finally reveal Mr Christmas Eve.... And yes of course, it is Ralph! (There is no link to this one - because he is not for sale!!) Merry Christmas Everyone Love Charlotte & Ralph xxx

Today's Advent Bunny is.... an apron! I kind of thought this was appropriate with all the Christmas baking and cooking I imagine will be happening over the next couple of days! (I'm making a yule log tomorrow - in between cleaning and wrapping gifts!) cottontailsbaby.co.uk/collections/...

Today's Advent Bunny comes in his own little house.... Cute wooden play set with bunny, guinea pig, house, run and veggies! cottontailsbaby.co.uk/collections/...

Yesterday's Advent Bunny was one of my tiniest, and today is one of the biggest - the long, dangly and adorable Baba-Bou rabbit from Moulin Roty Incredibly characterful, this is a large rabbit in deep chestnut brown fleece with fluffy tummy, paws and cheeks 🐇 cottontailsbaby.co.uk/collections/...

All is calm, all is bright Order for Christmas by Sunday night... Order before 9pm Sunday night, choose Express Delivery, and I will send with Royal Mail Special Delivery on Monday morning - so your parcel should arrive on Christmas Eve. (Cont. in thread...)

Oops and nearly forgot today's Advent Bunny.... here he is, a wee wooden bunny, only £3 so a lovely stocking filler. Order by 9pm Sunday (and select express delivery) to get him for Christmas! cottontailsbaby.co.uk/collections/...

I have a team of professional gift-wrappers here to help me at Cottontails.... Actually no I don't, I do it all myself, which is probably for the best (you know, nibbling... 🤣) Anyway, for £3 I'll gift wrap your order is pretty paper, tissue, cotton ribbon and a hand written letterpress gift tag

This lovely big bunny is one of my very favourites - an absolute classic, I have stocked him since I first opened Cottontails, so this is his 22nd Christmas with me! cottontailsbaby.co.uk/collections/...

All aboard the bunny train! Today's Advent Bunny is a wooden pull along train from Moulin Roty - a 13-part wooden toy train to stack, build and pull-along... This is quite a large toy (approx 50cm in length) so would make a really special gift. Age 10m + cottontailsbaby.co.uk/collections/...

Here's another look at yesterday's Advent Bunny - this is the rather intrepid Rachel who comes in her own fabric boat. (Please note, boat is 'sold as seen ' I have worries it may not be completely watertight 🤣 ) I'll pop details and another link in the thread...

Today's Advent Bunny is Rachel Rabbit - who comes in her own fabric boat! Safe from birth and perfect for cuddles - but equally engaging for older children and imaginative play. cottontailsbaby.co.uk/collections/...

Boing! Today's Advent Bunny post is a wooden pop-up toy from Moulin Roty... Simply press down the bunnies and feel them pop back out again! It also comes in a lovely gift box, so ideal for Christmas. cottontailsbaby.co.uk/collections/...

Following on from yesterday's post, did you know I have an actual Bunny Baking department on the website? Find it under Bunnies - all the Cottontails rabbit related baking things in one place! cottontailsbaby.co.uk/collections/...

For today's Advent Bunny, I thought I'd share something a bit different - a biscuit cutter! I have quite a few baking bunny things in stock - including several biscuit cutters - but this is the biggest, and with biscuits bigger is surely better! cottontailsbaby.co.uk/collections/...

11pm and definitely on my way to bed.... so I chose this little guy in his PJs for today's Advent Bunny! cottontailsbaby.co.uk/collections/...

Morning everyone (we write at 12.06pm... where did the morning actually go?!)

And while Ralph naps (last post) here's today's Advent Bunny. She is one of my favourites, the lovely Clay Bunny from Moulin Roty.... cottontailsbaby.co.uk/collections/...

Advent Bunny coming up shortly, but first.... Ralph! All ready for Christmas parcel packing action... or maybe not. Maybe a festive nap first?

Today's Advent Bunnies.... a trio of fair trade decorations. Maybe not as traditional as snowmen or baubles, but there's always room for a bunny on my tree! cottontailsbaby.co.uk/collections/...

Today's Advent Bunny - a sumptuously soft bunny rucksack: cottontailsbaby.co.uk/collections/... And you can now see all the Asvent Bunnies in their own department, find them under Little Christmas and watch the collection grow day by day....🎄 🐇

Dear Bluesky folks.... introducing my favourite time of the year!

Final festive fair of the year today... 🐰🎄🐁🦌 Really is fun to be out and about but also looking forward to unpacking tonight and focusing on the website again. Ralph has been holding the fort but it's costing me a fortune in treats and carrot tops!

While I'm hard at work at the Christmas fair, Ralph is handling snacking responsibilities back at home 🐰😋🌿
