    They are just about ready to go up into my webshop peterkatoshop.com

    Inspired by customer reactions to test shots and my visit to the Hampton beaches one weekend I decide to create

    the teal series of bedtime bunnies. So when you look up teal on the intern a whole range of colors show up , there doesn't seem to be one definitive "teal' color.

    Monday Jun 16 2014

    Hello everyone , hope you had an amazing weekend!

    This week we will be releasing some new Bedtime Bunnies, this time Orange with Grey slippers!

    Some at the studios wondered if this colorwave variation was influenced by my recent binge-watching of "Orange is the New Black" season 2, well i guess it is possible...not a bad connection to be made for sure~( I love that show~ ).

    3inch bunnies will be $20 each while the smaller 2.5inch variety will be $12 each.

    We will also have a restock on our shop standard of Pinks and Whites!
