For the love of hearts & blue-eyed bunnies

I've got hearts on the brain. I've spent years trying to fight off my inherent girlyness but these days I am loosing the battle. I like hearts. So there, I can admit it. I am especially fond of this new necklace I made using my porcelain hearts and three handforged links. I call them abacus links since the beads are free to slide around (extra super clever name, I know;). It's kind of funky, a little quirky and it's copper and green (tiger jasper) and blue. Blue like the eyes of my NEW BUNNY!!!!!!

Yes, I did it. Something I swore I would never do. I purchased the magical blue-eyed bunny from the pet store. Please don't follow my lead. I encourage anyone who might want to have a house rabbit to visit their local chapter of the House Rabbit Society. I was weak and for days I thought about this little bunny. I couldn't take it anymore so on Sunday I went to see if she was still there. She was. I brought her home.

She is a funny little thing, both goofy and beautiful at once. Like most rabbits that come from a bunny-mill she is very timid and nervous around people. She is in my bedroom running around for probably the first time in her life and loving every minute of it. I will have to work hard to earn her trust. She doesn't let me pet her just yet but she is starting to realize that I am the one who brings her yummy treats so it is just a matter of time.

Let's see if anyone can guess what I named her. I'll give you a clue - the name comes from the book To Kill a Mockingbird. It's not super obvious, but it's not very hidden either. If anyone gets it right I'll send them one of my bunny rings, similar to this one. :)
