COVETED: Bunnies, you are so hot right now

Collectors of pretty things, take note: Every Friday Monday, we're rounding up a what's-what of what we [heart], culled from the scores of design blogs, artist sites and Etsy treasuries we can't help but stalk on the regular.

Owls are so 2009, are we right? Spring got all official on us Saturday, and even though today's forecast calls for rain, we're living for tomorrow. And tomorrow, there are bunnies. We're seeing the little guys everywhere (Easter may have something to do with it), and we think it's high time Peter Cottontail and his cohorts bounce into the spotlight.

Where do we start? There are seriously a million bunnies to talk about today, so let's begin with Poppytalk Handmade's Celebrate Spring and Everything Hippity Hop (yes, that's what it's called) collection. We found four items that particularly sum up how we're feeling about spring: hoppy! (Sorry.) The images speak for themselves, and all images are linked right to the sites we found 'em. From left to right: Rabbit gift bag (set of 10), $8, Humunuku via etsy.com. Pink Fabric-Eared Bunny print, $20, Kiki and Polly via etsy.com. Peter Cottontail card, $4, Inkadinkadoodle via etsy.com. Corn Bandit mixed-media assemblage, $40, Amy Rice via artstreamstudios.com. All spied first at poppytalkhandmade.com.

Next up: The Storque, Etsy's handmade-goodies blog, is shouting out all things European this week, and nestled in a long list of transatlantic crafts we found this precious-slash-ghostly bunny sculpture from Belgium-based Art Mind. It's a bit pricey — especially when you add $14.50 to have it shipped to the U.S. — but it totally beats out every lame Easter decoration I've seen. Especially if you display it backside-front. $75, etsy.com/shop/ArtMind. Spied first at The Storque.

Need a brighter bunny? Understandable. For a complete 180 from pallid bunny butts, check out SoCal designer Em and Sprout's line of sugar-sweet mary-janes. They're the same arch-support-less kind you could swipe from a bucket at Free People (do those still exist?), but way, way cuter with sweet, pastel embellishments. These yellow numbers, called Pink Lemonade, come in various sizes, and could totally work as summer slippers if you're not brave enough to bring them outside. $24, etsy.com/shop/emandsprout. Spied first at Mighty Goods.

Speaking of sweet: Australian artist MOZI has come out with a line of Girls Can Tell-reminiscent tea towels — and we'd be remiss not to include the Hot Cross Buns edition, complete with bunny drawings and complete, detailed recipe. Also on MOZI's agenda: Orange and Poppyseed Cake (orange) and Breakfast in Bed (pink). $19.95, mozi.com/au. Spied first at Poppytalk.
