springy things.......

...easter decorations are appearing
in the squirrel household....
...so i just thought i'd share a few 
images of my buns and things... 
..always a few lambies...
..i love the colours of this
lavender chick..
...more bunnies...
...and the boys on egg parade...
..a tiny maileg bunny....
and some pretty liberty printed eggs..
they have all really cheered the house up!

..how are your decorations coming along?

...easter orphans........

..here at the vanilla squirrel home
 for lost and forgotten toys...

..we are very aware of the particular plight of lonely lambs and abandoned bunnies 
at this time of year....


..often these lost souls appear at our door
 broken, dirty, sad and bewildered...


...it's amazing what a little love and tender care can do...


...we take the time to treat each critter as an individual...
...to help them integrate back into society...
...and give them back a sense of worth....


just look at Linus here...

a gentle all over shampoo, a fixed tail,
..a little ear op 
and a brand,spanking new ribbon...
***
....like a new lamb....
..despite being some 60 years old
 (almost a spring chicken?)


..and sweet Larissa...
who was matted and grumpy...


....now primped and plush like new!
***
we are looking for loving homes
 for these little lambs

......do you have easter displays 
that are crying out for that special vintage touch?
could you love a lamb for life
(not just for easter)?


...if you are interested in adopting 
one of these lost souls
 do visit the vanilla squirrel orphange 


as for the others....
nutkin the squirrel and molly dog
have a couple of behavioural issues
 to sort out
before they are ready for new homes...

...but the little bunny belinda has settled in so well here
that i feel obliged to allow her to stay.

i think it might be nearly time to decorate the house for easter!

....lost love.....

....when i was a little girl...
...my mummy made my toys...
....and one year.....
(to my absolute delight)


..she knitted me lamb chop.
i loved lamb chop...
..and now i had a real one...
...it was the best gift ever.

***

...but after many years,
 and many boxes in lofts later,
 lamb chop fell prey to mice....
....and along with many old childhood friends
...became a fond memory.


...i searched for another...
..even attempted to make one..
..but nothing came close..

***

....then last year...
..as if by some strange magic or destiny...
lamb chop returned!


my squirrel sister found lamb chop
with this wonderful label....
..it was the best gift ever..

...it really did provide a 
'nostalgic trip down memory lane'..
(..although not sure about the 'more mature disposition' bit!!?!)

...love reunited...
no more boxes in lofts lamb chop..
..promise.

...keep safe and dry everyone..
...it's very wet out there!

confused lambs....


you'd think it was springtime...
the sun is shining and my roses are in bloom again!? 
you can't blame the lambs for being confused......
