Description
Has anyone ever caught a rabbit in the act? In Monsieur Duval’s vegetable garden the carrots vanished one by one all summer, and the culprit was never found, though a trail of small footprints led rather conveniently to the old watering can behind the shed. Monsieur Duval set traps, built fences and even tried a scarecrow in his own hat.
Nothing worked, and by September he had grudgingly begun leaving a carrot out each evening. This porcelain rabbit has clearly been caught red-pawed, carrot clutched tight, peeking from a watering can painted in vibrant greens with colorful flowers. It makes a delightful gift for a gardener, an Easter basket surprise, or a friend whose spring would not be complete without bunnies. It opens to hold a tiny treasure, perhaps a packet of seeds for next year’s crop. On a potting bench or kitchen windowsill, it brings a grin every time someone walks by.
