Pat the reclaimed wool bunny

Pat the reclaimed wool bunny
Okay, reclaimed wool bunny with your little fair aisle ears, you are super cute. You and your little frog friend, and that's all I have to say about that.

I wish you weren't quite so expensive, but (sigh) I do understand that you're fairly big and very soft and completely hand-crafted in Toronto by the mom and pop team of Cate & Levi. And I do understand that you're totally one of a kind, more like art than some mere doll. And I understand that you make a perfect gift for fancy grandmas, or super cool aunties with lots of disposable income, or second-time dads with trophy wives.

So for now I'll just sit back and admire your super cuteness and hope that a few of our readers get that a whole lot of time went into making you. You and your little frog friend. And that's all I have to say about that. -Liz

Find the one-of-a-kind, upcycled handmade stuffed animals from Cate and Levi at the Artful Home where you'll find tons of other interesting gift ideas from artists.

Congratulations to Elizabeth D. winner of the reclaimed wool frog, and Cheri T., winner of the wool bunny!
