Bunny For Sale and Some News!

 Believe me, I want to keep him!  I've looked at this one on EBay before, and I always assumed that he was small, like similar candy containers from his time. So I was surprised when I first saw him in person! He's 7 inches tall and 9 inches across!

 I didn't get a very good deal on him actually, so his starting bid is $45.
You can find him here.  SOLD
Other sellers have him at $75 and $155! What???

There are so many cute plastic bunnies on EBay if you search "Rosbro" or "Rosen" vintage candy containers! They are addicting...which is sorta why I'm hoping he won't sell and I can add him to my vintage Easter decor. lol jk

*** I wanted to let you all know about something new that I'm going to try!
Beginning THIS MONDAY I'm going to start what I will be referring to as
"Erica's Market Monday"
Each Monday I'll post things for sale that I have found over the weekend, directly on my blog. I'll keep prices as low as I can so that my blogger pals can scoop up a few fun things! I'm going to be hunting for supplies for your crafting, and little things for your vintage collections!
Here are the rules:
  1. If you want to buy an item, reply and let me know what you want.
  2. If someone before you has spoken for it, consider it SOLD
  3. Make sure I have a way to contact you!
  4. I accept PayPal, or we can make arrangements for a money order.
  5. Wait to hear from me to confirm that the item is yours, and I'll also tell you how much shipping will be. Because I'm selling "smalls", shipping will often be 2-3 dollars. And I will of course combine items.
We'll see how this goes! I thought it might be fun to sell smaller vintage things, and also omit Etsy and EBay, so that I can sell things for less! So look for my post on "Market Monday" morning!

Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!
Erica :)

  16. Oh Erica, what a great idea. I'm always looking for vintage "readers," (ie Dick and Jane books or similar from the 40's and 50's) also vintage children's books, and coloring books from either "Merrill" publishing or "Platt and Monk" publishing and pretty much anything vintage Christmas is a huge one for me. I also collect vintage squeaky toys, and vintage linens with puppy embroidery. Also, "Ruth Newton" dolls, "Renwal" dollhouse furniture........OMGosh, I could go on forever. Keep me in mind when you find these types of goodies, and I'll be your slave forever......

    Hugs,
    Meri
