Sweet Slumbers Filled With Glad Dreams



Sleeping sweetly with her favorite "Sweet Buns Bunny" is charming little Madison. Madison absolutely adores her "Sweet Buns Bunny" that she has come to call "Bah Bah." She doesn't like to go anywhere without her beloved bunny. Her "Bah Bah" has become a special part of her nighttime routine as a way to help soothe her to sleep. She snuggles and rubs the soft velvety fur of "Bah Bah" across her belly until she falls into a gentle slumber filled with glad dreams.


Madison has become a special part of Bunnies By The Bay because she is the grand-daughter of Susan Weinstien, who is the Sales Manager for Darrah & Co. Darrah & Co. is the newest addition to our company as our representation group for several states in the Southeast. We are thrilled to be associated with Darrah & Co. who recently set aside a permanent spot just for us in their showroom in the Atlanta Gift Mart.




Pictured to the right is three of our Bunnies, Suzanne, Anne, and Laura in discussing the events for the day at our location in the Darrah showroom. It's nice to know we are in good hands with the Darrah team because of Madeline they know just how important a best friend from Bunnies By The Bay can be!

A Tale of Two Bunnies

On the very furst birthday of a special wee one, Mailyn received an extra special present made by Bunnies By The Bay from her tender loving grandmother. Bunny became her name and being cuddly was her game. Whenever and wherever she went, Mailyn always wore one of her favorite slippers, whether it was

Snuggly Cuddly or Hoppy!

Mommy Amanda thought they were the softest thing next to nothing besides baby's little feet.





Then when life couldn't get any sweeter, all of Mommy Amanda's glad dreams came true when she gave birth to another little baby bunny to call her own.

As a lil' sumpin' sweet to welcome wee Irelyn to the family, big sister Mailyn gave Irelyn her very own pink "Petal" bunny.







Adoring Mommy and Daddy cannot wait to see tiny 3 week old Irelyn wiggle around in her new "Wee Hop Wear."


Sweet Amanda Marsh said, "We are so grateful that such a wonderful company exists and creates such adorable and unique items that our girls love and most of all makes them smile!"

We sincerely appreciate and thank the Marsh family for their beautiful photos and kind words. It is people like you that remind us why we love what we do.

Saved By An Angel

When we look into a newborn baby's eyes, the only thing that is reflected is a purity and innocence that should never be taken away. It is the only time in a person's life where their future is completely in the hands of those around them. An angel was watching over a particular baby named Ru, the day she was discovered completely frail and helpless. That angel was Half the Sky.








Ru at birth in May 2009.











Ru today happy and healthy.






Half the Sky is an incredible foundation that watches over wee ones and helps to improve their health and well-being as they grow. In May 2009, a pre-up and post-up medical care facility called China Care Home was opened by Half the Sky in Beijing. Ru was the first of many special babies to be cared for and loved by the extraordinary staff of China Care Home. Through their wonderful work, we can see that there is hope for a better tomorrow for the neglected children of this world.

Together with Half the Sky we hope to make sure that every child knows that their life is special and that they are alive for a reason. As a way to spread delight and give glad dreams to our Half the Sky wee ones, we delivered a package of our Buddy Blankets sent with loving care. We are so lucky to be able to help and be apart of such a beautiful and influential organization.

To our Half the Sky family across the great Pacific Ocean, we wish you a wonderful start to 2010 and look forward to holding onto our special red thread that connects us for years to come.

Merry Marketing from Memories By Joey

In October of 1980, Joey Cole opened her own eclectic florist shop in Dickinson, North Dakota. She gave her shop the name Memories By Joey. Three years ago, Joey wanted to renovate a part of the shop with a different genre of products to offer her customers. As a future grandparent, she wanted a collection to sell that was unique; something that could be passed down from generation to generation.

One day, she was out and about shopping and an engaging piece of apparel caught her eye. Coincidentally, it was the Bunnies By The Bay Glad Dreams Coat! Joey immediately fell in love with the special story that accompanies the precious apparel, and knew it would be perfect in her shop. Over the years, a special relationship has blossomed between this florist shop and Bunnies By The Bay.

Today, she has a part of her store dedicated to Bunnies By The Bay. Joey expressed, "I feel very strongly about Bunnies By The Bay and how it represents craftsmanship and a heritage that is admirable to see today." Joey tells us that her customers love the quality of our products and the packaging that combine to convey a heartfelt message. She took it upon herself to create an endearing commercial centered around the holidays and Bunnies By The Bay products.

Press play and hop in!

We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for believing in our company and helping to spread the pure beauty that can only be seen through the eyes of a child.

Hoppy Holidays to all!

We'll see you next year!

Pretty In Pink

Little Taylor is absolutely adorable in her Little Pink Dress. She loves to run around and discover all the new fun things the world has to offer. Taylor is the daughter of Karen McCoy Brayden, who is apart of our Bunnies By The Bay family on the east coast. Taylor is pictured here at 13 months old and already has an amazing curiosity and playful personality.

A special thank you to Karen for capturing these delightful photos of Taylor. We wish you and your family a very happy holidays!

Think Pink This Holiday Season

This precious pink dress is an endearing present to give a baby girl as her first special dress. It comes nestled inside a beautiful storybook box with a picture frame on the cover and a wee book inside. The Little Pink Dress Storywear Set includes a playfully romantic pale pink silk dress with matching bloomers and bonnet.

As a baby's story begins, this lovely dress is passed on from mother to daughter until one day she can pass it on to her daughter. Elegantly embroidered between the ruffles: "Stitched between these ruffles and folds, Is a pretty little tale just waiting to be told, About a wee girl and her little pink dress, That loved it so much it was always a mess!"

The Little Pink Dress is a timeless keepsake that can be cherished by your family forever.
