These handstitched loafers are amazing. I can imagine wearing these loafers when staying in a cabin way out in the woods. In the cool morning, I would rise early, put on my loafers and go for a long walk, picking wildflowers whilst spying on wild rabbits. Buy or order them here.
In March last year, I blogged about these Onitusuka Tiger rabbbit sneakers by Erik Kriek. They didn’t have them in my size back then and I had already resigned myself to never owning the limited edition kicks. Well last month, thanks to this blog, a lady from the other side of the world contacted me about a brand new pair that also happened to be my size. They arrived last week they fit me perfectly. Tofu gave them his seal of approval.

This poster for new movie Seven Psychopaths features the gravelly Tom Waits with a blue eyed white rabbit. I particularly like the catchphrase “The one with the bunny” which I assume refers to his character rather than the movie. I love Tom Wait’s voice and his song “Misery Is The River Of The World” always has me picturing a lip synching Cookie Monster. Below are some screenshots of Tom Waits and various bunnies. I haven’t seen the movie yet but hopefully the storyline doesn’t feature any ill will to the his bunnies. With a title referring to not one but seven psychopaths, it’s not looking hopeful. http://www.sevenpsychopaths.com
Tofu was feeling particularly festive this week so I followed him around the garden wearing his party hat. I’m sure he said (through a series of nose twitches) that grass tastes better when you’re wearing a sweet hat.
I don’t like guns, but I once emptied out a Smith and Wesson revolver into a bunch of paper targets. It was strangely exhilarating. It was scary, but not in a “I’m going to kill someone” kind of way. This gig poster for My Morning Jacket and Band of Horses features a bunny target. It implies violence but it’s just a graphic. I love it as a poster, but I wouldn’t shoot at it. Designed by Michael Tabie and Karen Goheen from Two Arms Inc., this limited edition poster is available for $25US at Two Arms Inc.

I haven’t painted in a long time so it was nice to start and finish this painting on Saturday. It’s a friend’s baby shower next week and this will be my gift to her and the baby. Good old oil on canvas. I hope it dries in time!
The actor Karl Urban is from New Zealand and his latest movie Dredd – based on the comic Judge Dredd – looks promising. I bet you didn’t know that Tofu was originally offered the part but turned it down due to other commitments. He was a bit disappointed but these things happen. To cheer him up, The Koala and I fashioned a bunny sized Dredd helmet out of some card. What do you think?
Tofu with a pink parasol. Scattered around our house are souvenirs from our beach wedding. We had paper cranes, fabric flowers, parasols, ribbons and paper lanterns. Click here to see more Tofu Tuesday.
The possibilities for this rabbit ears vase are endless. Leaves and long stemmed flowers would be obvious choices, but feathers, bunches of twigs, straw and even lollipops would also work. These vases come in colours, but I think the white or black would be my picks. More info on this vase at Japanese company Furnish: www.furnish.jp
The Koala caught Tofu the bunny on camera having a flop in the late afternoon. Posted with permission 🙂 We love when Tofu flops over like this. It’s the ultimate look of a relaxed bunny.
We recently picked up a new sideboard for the kitchen which meant a bit of rearranging and we bumped a set of white drawers into Tofu’s “room”. With a few items from our bunny collection, Tofu’s room now reminds me of a baby’s nursery. Sloth painting bottom right is by my sister Joanne Ho. Tofu seems to like it. He said it is totally reminiscent of bunny Ikea.
When a new person comes to visit, we notice them noticing our rabbit running loose indoors. We are accustomed to seeing a rabbit around the house. Tofu isn’t a prop, he’s a legitimate member of the household. Still, I always get a kick out of seeing other rabbits in other indoor settings. Especially beautifully styled homes or hanging out on beautiful furniture. When you have a beautifully designed room or piece of furniture, you need two other things. A rabbit and a talented photographer. For your viewing pleasure, I have collected these images from around the world, relating to bunnies with beautiful interiors or architecture. I hope you enjoy these as much as I have.

A few years ago, I roped my friend A and my sister and her boyfriend into doing an upholstery class with me. This the chair I re-upolstered, sanded and stained. I have yet to sew the buttons on and the fabric panel on the back requires attaching but it looks legit from the front so I don’t think about it. Tofu judges my handiwork.
I consider myself decent at origami. For our wedding, I folded 1000 paper cranes for good luck. But my skill is nowhere near Tomohiro Tachi’s creations. This origami rabbit is incredible. I can’t even begin to imagine how many folds this would take. You can view more of Tomohiro Tachi’s work here: www.tsg.ne.jp/TT/origami/index.html
I got new glasses a few weeks ago. I splurged a little, I don’t regret it one bit. These new specs have bigger lenses and thinner arms meaning that I can see heaps more than before. They’re also very comfortable. I donned my old glasses to snap this photo and was struck by how uncomfortable my previous pair were. Tofu also approves.
We lovingly call our lounge The Cave or The Batcave not because of the lack of windows, but because the huge windows face south. In the southern hemisphere, south facing windows keep rooms dark all year round. Here is Tofu hanging out under the windows. Kind of gloomy and pensive don’t you think?
Pan Pan Decorative Rabbit by Barbara Kuehne-Thompson for Ligne Roset is really just another life size rabbit art piece. But seeing it placed in multiples around this pool makes me happy. Found on Accessory Seen website www.accessoryseen.com
Tofu has more than one doppelgänger. Can you tell them apart?
