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.
