Beatrix Potter Rabbit Custom Christmas Ornament



Beatrix Potter Rabbit Custom Christmas Ornament

The Little Bunny Drinking Tea by Beatrix Potter

A darling custom Beatrix Potter ornament to commemorate a child's special Christmas. To personalize, simply type in the child's name and the correct year (first Chrismas, second Christmas, etc.) using the "personalize it" feature. Use the "customize it" feature to change the typeface, font color, etc., if you wish.

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.

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

Carl Larsson Christmas Tree Custom Christmas Tree Ornament

Carl Larsson Juletræ (Christmas Tree) 1917

To personalize, simply use the "personalize it" feature to replace the example name by typing the child's name, then type in the correct year ("First Christmas" Second Christmas" "Third Christmas" etc.). You may also use the "Customize It" feature to change the typeface, font color, etc. change the wording completely, add a photo, or delete the wording for blank back.

Looking at Larsson's paintings always leaves me feeling refreshed, and this one is no exception. I love the graceful lines, the feeling of calm anticipation and the sense of a happy family this painting evokes.

Description: A pretty little blond girl in traditional folk costume stands on a chair to add a candle to the Christmas tree.

Matching note cards, address labels, stickers and more are available in my gallery's Holiday and Winter Collection.

About the artist: Larsson, Carl (b Stockholm, 28 May 1853; d Falun, 22 Jan. 1919) was a Swedish painter, illustrator, printmaker, and writer. His work included numerous portraits and book illustrations, as well as several large murals (the best known are those on Sweden's artistic history in the Nationalmuseum, Stockholm, 1896), but he is now remembered mainly for his watercolors of the idyllic life he enjoyed in his now-famous house in the village of Sundborn with his wife Karin and their eight children.
