People make me happy!

Hello everyone. I had a great day today. It was about time because Wednesday was difficult for me. As soon as I got stressed, I caught another cold. So I had mostly rested yesterday in warmth. I usually get mild SAD (seasonal affected disorder) during October and November. In order to avoid to getting depressed, I try to keep myself busy. This year I didn't have to try, as I have been very busy since early summer. But when difficulties pop up during autumn, I tend to feel a bit down even though I am naturally optimistic.

So when I found a tweet from a lovely lady @esmepink232 after lunch time on Wednesday, the air around me suddenly brightened!

'Look what was bought for me! Made by the wonderful, talented

I had no idea because her friend bought this rabbit for her. What could I want more?


I enjoy reading Esme's tweets; they are funny and zany! I also like her drawings of young women. I could relate to them.

Thank you so much Esme and her friend! You both cheered me up to no end!

Today I felt better mentally and physically. These two beautiful bronze-gold whippets are going to a lovely home. They look great together! Thank you so much!

I packed them and posted them late afternoon with our loyal pooch, Topaz. After dinner, Mike and I have spent a couple of hours packing several rabbits and whippets in a box. That was quite difficult. Packing ceramics is never easy!

When I checked my email, I found this rabbit bowl was also sold! How wonderful! Thank you so much! After a couple of down days, I already feel so much better.



We have fired more porcelain bowls and a pair of coffee C/S with a little rabbit on the handles. Once blue sky returns, I will take photos of them to share! I can tell you that they are really sweet!

  1. They are lovely Midori. Nice to hear you brightening up. I can empathise fully as this time of year has seen me SAD too. Keeping busy helps...I tried sawing logs yesterday and it worked wonders as a mood lifter. I love the rabbit bowl and look forward to seeing your new pictures
