PETER RABBIT AND FRIENDS BY BEATRIX POTTER




“Once Upon A Time”


Oh those dear sweet words! Do they bring you back to your childhood, stories you read as a child or stories you read to your own children? 
I collect Peter Rabbit figurines, music boxes and books. I have “The Peter Rabbit Library” by Beatrix Potter. The illustrations are beautiful and of course these are the stories we all remember and love.
Today I have called all my little friends together to help me decorate for spring and Easter. For my table centerpiece in the kitchen I am using a thin grape-vine wreath with pastel colored roses and adding a few of my little friends. A few peeps and Easter cookies decorate the hutch. 
Here are a few of my favorites from this collection.

Mrs. Flopsy Bunny

 If you are still here, thank you. I get a little carried away with these adorable collectibles from The Beatrix Potter Collection. Hope you will leave a comment so I’ll know you dropped by.

  7. I loved seeing these, Emily. I gave my children each a BP figurine when they were growing up. They took their collections with them when they got married. I've never seen the darling mouse house. And oh! I always love seeing your Quimper collection, and what charming Spring and Easter figures are scattered among your Quimper. laurie

  17. I LOVE your collection of Beatrix Potter figurines. I gave my collection to my daughter-in-love when she did a Beatrix Potter nursery. Thrilled for her to have them, but boy does your post make me realize how much I miss them. Just so you know, you've put a great big smile on my face. Thanks! Happy Easter! Cherry Kay

  21. It is so nice to have a good collection of things you enjoy. I cannot say that I remember Beatrix Potter as I had never heard of her while growing up in Paris – she was British, wasn’t she? My early books were “Bécassine” or “La Semaine de Suzette.” But I did buy a series of very small books by B. Potter for my daughter – they must still be around here, and I’ll have to take a look. Your figurines are so attractive and sweet.

  22. These make my heart melt! I am a huge BP fan! WHat a fine and darling collection you have. Each little figurine brings back the dear stories they represent! Your display is Spring magnified!!!!
    Have you seen the movie "Potter" (not Harry). It is a charming story about Beatirx's life.
    Thank you for sharing your beautiful collection.
    Happy and blessed Easter!

  29. I have only one little Peter Rabbit figurine and I adore him as I do the stories of BP. When I sold all my things before my move to France, he got hidden away in my "box to keep". I just couldn't part with him or my books. Of course, he's still in that box and not with me which will have to be remedied. Love your collection. Wow! Where do you keep all that when it's not out for the holiday?

  30. Yep! Still here adoring your Beatrix Potter collection - they're just too precious! I do appreciate you sharing with Home and Garden Thursday,
