Paris is Hopping! - Camera Critters

rabbit vintage postcards
Paris is truly hopping! I found this ginormous cotton candy pink rabbit statue in front of the famous department store Printemps. The display windows are also gussied up with a smaller version of these cotton tailed cuties. I almost expected to find a few Easter eggs:)

Hard to type when one is laughing hysterically over the Chinese Sailor comment! Good one, Marie!

As for those ginormous rabbits, eggs didn't come to mind, but "Alice In Wonderland" sure did!

Oh too PINK cute and too funny too! Keeping your rabbits in an old oven? Hmmmmm...have to think about that! Always love your pictures!

That bunny cage looks like an OVEN! And how interesting those big yellow bunnies are. And you are SO cute!

Robin said...

A lovely postcard....
May I as why Pritemps has the large bunnies outside their store?
Not that they would look better inside the store.....I'm just curious as to why the display.

Have a beautiful weekend

Marie Reed said...

Hi Robin! The statues were also in blue and green! It is part of the summer window display and apparently the statues are moved from city to city. The plastic is melted down and then molded into new shapes !

Mara said...

I love the rabbits. I do feel sorry for the rabbit in the card though. I've got a feeling he's going to be dinner soon!

Diane said...

great post! the card is fantastic!

Sparky said...

I never dreamed of keeping our rabbits in old ovens. My first reaction was "Hey, look, pre-cooked bunny's 'on the hoof'!!" (ha ha)

Heather at My Coupon Coop said...

Carletta said...

When you left your comment on my post that you had posted bunnies too this wasn't what I expected. :)
I love these - the postcard too!

Thanks for your visit.

Marie Reed said...

Yes! It is a monster sized bunny:) There was a bright orange one a block down from the department store too!

Adrienne Zwart said...

Very interesting. I stopped by earlier and was interrupted so couldn't stay to leave a comment. I'm back. :) Was this around Easter time? Or the artist just likes rabbits?

Sharon said...

Those rabbits are sure show stoppers! Beautiful colors:)

Baked bunny is NOT on my list of 'must eats'!!! Those ovens do make cute cages though! ~Lori

Postcardy said...

Does the card come with a caption or explanation? Or can you explain it?

Lovely bunnies in Paris! I was not in Paris, but in Bracieux in the Sein et Cher region. I saw a lot of castles too.

That is a big bunny and may be a delicious one too. I am still vacationing on the beach, thanks for visiting our blog.

I love the giant rabbits, what was the reason for the shop to have them set up? Thanks for taking the time to visit me at Rantings of a Woman, I have a lot of our new Puppy "Riley" that I took over the weekend on a visit to post next week for Critters
