Top bird loves ... Etsy stuff
My heart just about melted all over the laptop when I laid eyes on these beautifully crafted bunnies by Canadian artist Sonja Ahlers (and yes, I am a sentimental sap, but hey it’s V-day, the one day of the year to embrace the sap).
I came across Sonja and her softies through the particularly lovely Canadian design blog PoppyTalk. Check out PoppyTalk’s excellent interview with Sonja here.
As PoppyTalk says, the bunnies are the “truest form of repurposing/recycling”, since they are made from vintage angora sweaters (angora being knitted bunny fur). The smallest bunnies are the size of a peanut (a peanut!) and can be found in the homes of Sonia Rykiel, members of Sonic Youth and (in the not too distant future) MINE! Nom nom nom.
