Lately, we have aquired multiple vintage rabbits, which has prompted the questons....why is this and what is their relevance (apart from being exceptionally cute!)

The mid century home - a time of sleek lines, bold colors, and funky furniture. But what really made these homes stand out? 

The answer lies in the humble rabbit. That's right, rabbits were all the rage during the mid century period, and today we're going to explore why.

First off, let's talk about rabbit figurines. These little critters were everywhere in mid century homes. Whether they were made of ceramic, wood, or even glass, rabbit figurines added a touch of whimsy to any room. 

People just couldn't get enough of these adorable creatures, and it's easy to see why. Who wouldn't want a cute little bunny sitting on their mantel or peeking out from a bookshelf?

But it wasn't just rabbit figurines that were popular during the mid century period. Oh no, rabbit jelly moulds were also a hot commodity. That's right, people were literally making jelly in the shape of rabbits, and this wasn't just for a children's party - this was serious business!

Back then it was all the rage. Imagine serving up a wobbly rabbit-shaped dessert at your next dinner party - talk about a conversation starter!(we currently have one for sale!). 

So why were rabbits so popular during the mid century period? 

Well, some say it was because rabbits symbolised fertility and abundance. Others believe it was simply because they were cute and whimsical. Whatever the reason, one thing is for sure - rabbits added a touch of charm and playfulness to mid century homes.
