"Once upon a time there were four little Rabbits, and their names were--Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tail, and Peter." These are the creation of Beatix Potter, who wrote her famous animal books, in 1902 when Matilda Frelinghuysen was a child. Although The Frelinghuysen Arboretum does have rabbits in its gardens, they are not of the Beatrix Potter variety. But on March 19 you can learn about these garden visitors at the 8th Annual Matilda’s Tea.

Rabbit Breeder, Susan Prisco from Triple Creek Rabbits will speak about rabbits both wild and domestic. Several of the rabbit breeds, including Rex and Holland Lop, will be attending the party. Tea takers can then share an elegant tea with their favorite young person. Afterwards, each young party guest will make a spring time garden craft at this annual event as everyone ushers in spring and chases the naughty outside rabbits away.

Recommended for age 6 and up. Snow date is March 20.

Ashley Jacobsen Bunny from ETSY.com

I just wanted to show off an ETSY (Handmade) purchase that I just received. This was printed on canvas paper by Ashley White Jacobsen. It's perfect! Next up, a Squirrel Haiku Zine!

A copy of Haiku Zine Issue 1 - the topic for this inagural issue is the noble squirrel. Inside there are six haikus written from the perspective of a squirrel, truly a wonderful thing to behold. Plus each page is lavishly illustrated with olde school squirrel woodcut illustrations on lovely cream-colored paper. A tiny, amusing conversation piece!

Sample Haiku:

Misguided acorn
Could have sworn I left you there
Earthen Tupperware
(swoon!)
