Beatrix Potter Two Rabbits Sledding in Snow Small Serving Tray

click image to see in store or buy

Charming small serving tray featuring two rabbits sledding in the snow from our Beatrix Potter Christmas Collection. Continue to enjoy it throughout the winter months, as there is nothing overtly Christmas-y in the painting. We also have a large serving tray with this same painting in our store.

Description: Two Rabbits sledding in the Snow by Beatrix Potter, 1894. Watercolor. Signed lower right with the artist's initials. This painting never appeared in any of her books, but is quite delightful -- especially during the winter months and at Christmas.

Beatrix Potter Merry Christmas Rabbits Custom Holiday Recipe Binders

 click image to see in store or buy -- instantly customize your recipe binder

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.

About the original work of art:
Artist: Beatrix Potter
Title: Three Rabbits Eating Plenty of Buns
Date: Early to mid 1890s
Medium: Ink and watercolor heightened with gouache.

Wonderful as a special holiday and winter lunch box (you can order just the face plates, too!), handy for keeping a baby's little things protected and handy on outings, to carry small toys and snacks to play dates and day care, and of course to take snacks and lunches to day care, nursery school or kindergarten. This makes a gift that will last for years and be used every day in many ways as the baby or child grows.

Beatrix Potter Rabbits Christmas Party Holiday Art Tile Trivet

 click image to see in store or buy

The Rabbits' Christmas Party: The Arrival by Beatrix Potter, c 1892. This is the first in Beatrix Potter's delightful series of four exquisite paintings titled The Rabbits' Christmas Party. The paintings in this series were critically acclaimed and are today considered among Miss Potter's finest works, if not her finest of all.

Wonderful as an art tile, you may also frame it into a trivet (you can easily hang the trivet on the wall when it's not in use. As there is nothing overtly suggesting Christmas other than the title and the topcoats which hint at snow, this art tile or trivet can be displayed year round if you wish, or at least through the winter months if you like to change your home decor with the seasons.

Colors include blue, brown, antique white and green
