A professional graphic designer who uses her background in art history and restoration to create everyday objects you can enjoy in your home or as wearable art. It's a joy to bring the best art and design of ages past into everyday life, plus invitations and DIY party projects. If you don't already share my love for artists and illustrators such as Alphonse Mucha, Edmund Dulac, Beatrix Potter, Carl Larsson and John Tenniel, perhaps you'll discover a new enthusiasm.

Beatrix Potter Bunny Rabbit Name Tag Button Pin

The Little Bunny Drinking Tea by Beatrix Potter

A darling Beatrix Potter pin-back name tag button. Wonderful for teas where the attendees don't know one another -- or for employees of tea shops and tea rooms, childrens' book stores, child care professionals, Sunday School, school and library volunteers for story time -- so many possibilities.

To personalize, simply type in your name using the "personalize it" feature, and change the wording as well, if you like. You may also change the typeface, font color and size, etc., using the "customize it" feature.

Description: A proper little girl rabbit with a pink ribbon tied around her neck in a pretty bow daintily sips her tea from a china teacup. On the tile floor in front of her is the tea set, including teapot, sugar bowl, sugar tongs, milk pitcher and more teacups, tea spoons resting on the saucers. Perhaps there is to be a tea party. Signed at lower right with the artist's initials.

Please see my gallery's Beatrix Potter Collection for matching items.

About the original work of art:

Although this painting never appeared in any of Beatrix Potter's books, it is one of her most delightful watercolors and highly finished.
