Beatrix Potter Merry Christmas Rabbits Custom Holiday Recipe Binders

Three Rabbits Eating Plenty of Buns by Beatrix Potter, painted in the early to mid 1890s. A delightful painting of three bunnies eating, yes, plenty of buns! I love her ingenious use of lettering which spells out the message "A Merry Christmas and Plenty of Buns." And liking good puns the way I do, I also love the play on words (buns like you eat and "buns" as a short form of "bunnies"). Beatrix Potter normally signed her works with her three initials in a lower corner, but she continued her playful use of lettering in this particular painting and placed them on the key tag instead, which I find quite charming.

The spine of the binder has a repeat of the delft blue crockery design and can be personalized with your own text. If you need help customizing your recipe binder, just click the "ask the designer" link in our store.  We're always happy to assist you!

This would make a charming holiday recipe binder, or use it as a scrapbook or photo album to keep your special Christmas memories safe and organized.
