Note to MMP Shop Hoppers: I may have made finding the Shopping Bag a  little too hard so here is a BIG hint: Don't you just love teapots? But teapots with ivy, beautiful!!!! Good Luck.....Regards, Gabby          Imagine a field of Cottage Violets along a  country lane. As  you explore the quiet lane you will come across vintage treasures, shabby chic pleasures and country collectibles. So pull up a blanket and take time to relax and smell the Cottage Violets.  Gentler times are just a click ahead. Thanks for Shopping Buy!! We are glad to be of service.  For  more information visit our blog at www.cottageviolets.blogspot.com   He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul........Psalm 23:2,3   Meet our Merchants If you see these logos you will know it's SPECIAL    Miss Pittypat's Mercantile  Brown Hare Trading Company  Miss Violet Teacake and Friends   Miss Violet Teacake is a maiden lady who loves all things tea. She is apt to be a little dreamy, scatterbrained and the very best chum a person could imagine. She runs her little  household well and loves to make room for friends and family   Along the way, you will meet her sister H. Harriet Hatrack, (the H. stands for Hyacinth, but don't let her know I am the one who told). Harriet is a librarian by trade and loves all things paper. She thinks Violet quite frivolous, but a dear sister indeed. Harriet's one indulgence is a craving for hats. Hats with scarves, hats  with brooches, big hats, little hats, that's our dear Harriet.   That brings me to Duchess Delphinium Hammersley, Violet's somewhat ancient aunt. She is very prim, very proper, and verrry English. Putting on airs describes "Dilly", (a nick-name with a story for another time) to a tee. She lives in Shabby gentility and visits when she needs to sell a piece of her fine English china. Although no relation to the Hammersleys of Hammersley China, when you see a piece of Hammersley China for sale,  you will know the Duchess has been to visit.   I guess that leaves me. I am Gardenia Abigail Bluebell Boxwoody, Gabby for short. I am the girl of all work. I keep the hearth clean, the sister's fed. the linens ironed, the attic arranged, the guest room ready, and enjoy being part of this wonderful household.   By the way, did I mention we are Bunnies and live along the Violet strewn lane  in Harrington Woods? Well, perhaps later I will tell you how three bunnies  made over the old vicarage at Harrington Woods. Feel free to stop in anytime  and explore, we are blessed to make your acquaintance.
