I like Pinterest. It is a great place to organize photos and inspiration. I used to always pull pages from magazines and now I save much of that to my boards. I also pin from blogs and websites. Every once in awhile though I pin something from another person's board that I REALLY WANT.
Case in point. Some crepe paper bunnies that I pinned quite awhile ago. I love crepe paper figures and these were adorable. I was hoping someday something like this pair would cross my path.
Enter Ebay. I was the high bidder.
Not identical to those that I lusted over on my Pinterest board, but perfect to add to my Easter decorations.
I love it when someone has dated an item. This pair reads 1949 on the base.
If you want to follow me on Pinterest I have a link on the sidebar of my blog. (I pin under Laurie Romanaggi). I also just started using Instagram and am getting the hang of that. You can follow me on Instagram under Magpie Ethel.
Happy Day.
Isn't it fun to win an auction!! I love your Easter bunny couple...Congrats!

What a fairy tale outcome for a cute 1949 new rabbit couple. Pinterest must be a synonym for infinity, because finding cool things and ideas is never-ending fun and inspiration. Hey, like down the rabbit hole.

Those crepe paper bunnies are too cute!
I need to start checking out ebay again. I used to buy on it all the time but got tired of being outbid for something so I would buy elsewhere. I'll have to check you out on instagram!
Have a great day :-)

Dates. People who leave dates are just the best. As are those bunnies.

I have absolutely no issues with buying something online that I haven't been able to find in the wild. It doesn't matter where you got it, only that you love it!

Oh Pinterest, how I love it! That bunny couple is adorable. Great find.

I follow you everywhere - I'm like a stalker! In the good sense, of course. I need to find more people to follow on IG - so many of them sell things and I really just want to see good junk. Your score today was wonderful and those bunnies are to die for too. Bunnies were my very first collection and I am still very partial to them.
