We here at the Workshop haven't seen any snow this winter, but we are hopeful! So much so that we chose January, from our Let It Snow, Man! Collection to share with you this week.

January was created in 1998 and was part of our Let It Snow, Man! collection that included Jolly, Jewbel and Juniper. If you have any of these delightful white snow bunnies with green and white striped knits scarves, hats and sweaters January is a must for your collection! She has red trim on her mittens and her hat is lined with red as well. She is holding a whimsical miniature birdhouse on her crook and is even carrying her own very "furst" purse, just like the ones you can purchase for your little bunny. January is 16" tall and just as the first snowflake is the most special, this Snow Bunny is the first of her kind and is marked as #1.

Erico Finds Her Best Friend Indeed!

2011-11-02T09:34:00.000-07:00

We want to share a special note and a few pictures from our fearless leader Jeanne, who has been a busy bunny opening new Bunnies By The Bay locations in the Mitsukoshi Department stores!

"There are many things that make me happy, but few things that bring the kind of joy that makes me feel weak kneed and giddy. Erico is two years old and came into my brand new shop in Tokyo and stole my heart when she insisted her Mother buy her a white security blanket. She blew me a kiss, let me hold her, and said (like only a two year old can), " I love-ah you." I could send you many photos of Bunnies By The Bay’s adorable new shop in Nihonbashi, as well as plans for our shop that opens into weeks in the GINZA and a few days later, the one in Osaka, but compared to Erico, that would be boring. Making this little girl happy is what it's all about. ...Giving GLAD DREAMS.

I am very happy too."
Jeanne

Lindsay and Her Snuggling Silly Buddy

2011-03-23T20:00:00.000-07:00

Whether enjoying the sun or just having a snuggle,
little Lindsay Sirota does not go anywhere without her Silly Buddy.

In May 2010 just a few days before Lindsay's birth, her mother Regan was out and about shopping in The Big Apple. Of course being an expecting mother, she had to hop into Buy Buy Baby. She saw the delightful display of Bunnies By The Bay and just had to have a Silly Buddy to give to her wee one when she was born.

As you can see, it was love at first cuddle and nibble for Lindsay and her Silly Buddy. Lindsay's mother, Regan loves the Silly Buddy's super soft fabric and flexible material so it is perfect for Lindsay to hold in her tiny hands or stuff in her mouth! Regan says that even after daily washings, the Silly Buddy that has become a 'snack' still looks brand new!

A heartfelt thank you goes out to Regan Sirota and her daughter Lindsay for the adorable story of their snuggling Silly Buddy.

Blossom's Buddy Blanket a Friend for Life!

2011-03-21T08:43:00.000-07:00

All of us at Bunnies By The Bay LOVE to receive pictures and stories of your special “wee ones”. It makes our day to see how your babies love our product or how cute they are in wearing out product. We treasure each story about how a Buddy Blanket, Silly Buddy, Bye Bye Buddy or plush toy becomes your baby’s best friend and then grows with them in toddler-hood, preschool and beyond! The letter below and pictures captured all of our hearts this weekend. We are so very proud to be part of this family’s lives and hoping Bunny Bun Bun is found very soon! Glad Dreams…Bunnies By The Bay

"Hi there,

I don't know why I haven't communicated with you until now....Bunnies By the Bay products have been a part of our lives since our oldest received the Tadbit Blanket Buddy in his first Easter basket six years ago. Tadbit has been with him everywhere! Two Easters after that one he received Tadbit's fiesty little sidekick, Tadbit (the one with legs), who he calls "Little Tadbit."

When our daughter was born in 2006, our son's gift to her was the Blanket Buddy Blossom, which she named "Bunny Bun-Bun." She, too, became a treasured member of our family. I found it uncanny that both children clung to and had affection for both of these toys above all others.

Our children are now 6 and 4, and these little friends have still been bedtime companions, as well as comforting aids when duty calls (such as doctor's visits).

This weekend has been sad for us, though. We have lost Bunny Bun-Bun. She went with us to the mall but my husband instructed that she stay in the car, which she did. She did not go into the mall with us, but we are beginning to think that she might have fallen out somehow into the parking lot.

We have spent the past two days retracing our steps and searching through our car (and our house) to no avail. Our daughter is pitiful...she is drawing pictures of her with her bunny and tears up every time she's mentioned. I didn't know this would also be as difficult for me emotionally as it is for her! I have lost sleep over our little lost friend, too, and am literally praying that God will show us where she is.

I broke down and ordered another one from a specialty store across the country, since all of the stores around us were inconveniently out of the bunnies. As the new one is shipped across the country, our daughter is trying to be brave and accept her as a new pal she can meet and love, but I can tell she still has her heart with the original. There is, and always will be, one true Bunny Bun-Bun.

I've attached a couple of photos since I read on the blog that you enjoy customer and fan photos and such. Feel free to use them on your blog. Thanks for continuing to make such precious lovies for children. It says a lot when a company does something exceptionally well and doesn't change over the years. We greatly appreciate it."

A New Lovie To Love!

2011-03-02T11:16:00.000-08:00

"I thought you may enjoy these....I ordered a new "nigh nigh" because our 20 month old has destroyed his old one. It goes EVERYWHERE! I forgot how soft and white they are when they are new! Hopefully he will "go for" this one! Thank you....we REALLY enjoy your products!"

Welcome Ella!

I believe we have the best

lovies in the world.

Our buddy blankets

have 5 stars on Amazon's

website. The other day

we shipped 6 to one customer!

I have been inspired by this book

that I bought a couple of years ago.

It is a collection of peoples

lovies, buddies, best friend....

Here is one example

Here is a sample of one of our satisfied babies.

We get emails all day...everyday

from parents who want to know

where to get a, "backup or two or three"

for their child's buddy...

So I thought

wouldn't it be great if we had

more pictures and even

VIDEO

of our buddies and babies.

The buddy in action...

soothing and swaddling

baby..toddler

WE WOULD LOVE FOR YOU

TO SEND US A PICTURE

AND OR VIDEO OF YOUR

BABY

WITH A

BUNNIES BY THE BAY

BUDDY.

In exchange we will send you

a cool gift.

We don't know what that

is yet...

but lets just say

the better the picture

or video

the better the gift.

I am sure we have mentioned it.

But it is worth repeating

over and over.

We are one of many sponsors

who support

Half The Sky Foundation.

http://www.halfthesky.org/

Here is a letter we received

from a happy mama.

Just wanted to personally tell you thanks for helping Half the Sky! Our daughter was in a HTS orphanage and received surgery in Beijing through Half the Sky as well. Your time and money are put to great use! Our daughter was VERY well loved and cared for throughout her time in Baotou, Inner Mongolia. The nanny sobbed when she had to leave Avery with us - a sure sign that she was very well loved and part of a 'family' there. Avery has been home one year, has grown 4 inches, and gained 8 lbs! She is thriving in her forever family and her transition has been wonderful.

Thank you again for helping orphans in China!

Blessings,

Lori McMurphy

Quite A Pair Are Tanner And Mister Bear

2010-12-08T17:08:00.000-08:00

As sweet as can be, lays 6 month old Tanner in his comfy chair. He fondly gazes upon his best friend indeed, Mister Bear.

Their story began on a wonderful day when Tanner first arrived home and his Aunt Lauren presented him with a very special gift. It was a lovable little Silly Buddy that came all the way from Cricket Island just for him.

Each and every day since Tanner loves to hug and tug on Mister Bear's dangling arms and legs. Above all, he likes the snuggly soft feel of Mister Bear against his face especially at sleepy time.

One day on the way to daycare, Tanner's mother Laine realized on her rush out the door that Mister Bear was not there with them. With a back-up pacifier, she thought everything would be fine. Alas, throughout the day he fussed and mussed and fought his naps until his teacher Miss Tracy realized what was wrong. He simply just missed his best friend, Mister Bear!

They went to the toy box in pursuit of a stuffed animal with the same soft texture as Mister Bear. Laine realized how attached Tanner had become to his Silly Buddy at nap time when she returned to retrieve him from daycare and he was fast asleep cuddling with the faux Mister Bear.

Laine just purchased Mister Bear #2 because as you can see the original has become the perfect face for Tanner to chew on as his tiny baby teeth begin to show and grow.

Thank you so much Laine for the adorable story of your delightful duo,
Tanner and Mister Bear.

Hi! I am looking for a specific blanket that you guys used to carry. My daughter got one about 2 years ago and we wanted to get another for our baby on the way. It is a regular (kid) sized blanket, not the small squares that was super soft on both sides and had the silky edging all the way around. I think it came rolled up in the arms of a little bunny I looked all over your site but couldn't find them, do you still carry these? Thank you so much!

Everyday we get email request like this....

The blanket she is talking about we did for

about 2 seasons. It did not sell that well...

BUT

We have been told over and over

It is my favorite blanket

it washes up so nice.

This is a double sided soft... soft... fabric

that is of amazing quality.

Buddy Blanket Review

Tadbit's Buddy Blanket

We want to thank newbymom.com for including us in their "Holiday Extravaganza: 30 Favorite Things!" Check out the review below!

Buddy Blankets from Bunnies by the Bay

These super soft blanket/stuffed animal combos are classic. Both of my boys have a favorite, which they still sleep with every night - even the four year old. This high quality product stands the test of time, as ours have been drug around, played with, and washed repeatedly, and they are still intact. Our "Froggie" lovies have become best friends, and have soothed a lot of tears over the years.

The Gift That Keeps On Giving

2010-10-28T05:43:00.000-07:00

A beautiful bunny with a blanket of blue landed on the doorstep of the Shrake household as a gift for their brand new baby boy. Three years later, another boy was born into the family named Benjamin. One day, as a way to soothe Ben from his tears, the bunny was placed inside his crib. It was love at first hug.

As Ben began to grow a voice of his own along with a sense of humor, he amusingly announced that the name of the bunny was now "Money."

Ben and "Money" are never far apart from one another. Just like a true best friend, Ben likes to involve "Money" in everything that he does. One night at bath time, Ben grabbed him and tossed him in the tub exclaiming, "Money, swim?!" This is why Ben's mother, Kim loves "Money" so much as well because he is so easy to clean and keeps nice and soft after several washings.

Thank you so much to Kim for the sweetest story of your Ben and his Money.
