Roundup: The House Bunny
If you're in favor of hares in your house, even outside of the Easter season, then you'll want to check out my favorite bunny home accents. One of my absolute favorite bunny finds is the Moooi Rabbit Lamp ($539). These ridiculous rabbits look as if they're trying to disguise themselves with their matching lampshades.

Etsy Find: Block Print Bunny Stuffie
In anticipation of Easter, I figured I should throw some more rabbits at you. Well, not literally, but figuratively anyhow. If any rabbit pillow could be cool, the Art Goodies Block Print Bunny Stuffie ($14) most definitely is.
Roundup: I Want Some Bunny to Love
While most people associate the Easter bunny with the Christian holiday, according to Saxon tradition, the Easter bunny is the earthly symbol of the pagan goddess Eostre who was worshiped in the pagan festival of Eastre, which was a celebration of Spring. Only much later, when Germans brought the legend to the United States, was the Easter bunny integrated into Easter Sunday festivities.
Whatever the stories surrounding the origin, I love the Easter bunny — heck, I love all bunnies (unless they get in my garden, and then I get hopping mad).

Love It or Hate It? Donnie Darko Rabbit Decal
The Donnie Darko Rabbit Vinyl Wall Decal ($35) features the indie flick's unmistakable mascot, Frank, telling you to wake up! This thing scares me so much, I don't think I'd be able to get to sleep in the first place. But, I do love the combination of beautiful blues in the photograph and the wacky lamp with its upside-down shade.
Desire/Acquire: Ceramic White Animal Napkin Rings
Jonathan Adler's new Animal Napkin Rings ($18 each) are irresistibly adorable. But, a whole set of four will cost you $72 smackers! I don't know about you, but I'd prefer to spend those dollars on a good bottle of wine or an indulgent menu.
