If you are a new reader, maybe you don't know that Peachy Deegan is crazy about bunny rabbits. Though she likes the real ones, she has never had one but collects everything rabbit and now her furniture is finally measuring up:

Notting
Hill is designed and made in the USA. There are many
steps to crafting the hardware. All stages of production from conception, to
line art, sculpting, prototyping,
mold-making, pouring and casting, deburring, finishing, antiquing, buffing,
lacquering to hand-painting and adding stones…all done in the USA. The
office and nearby foundry is located in beautiful southeast Wisconsin near Lake
Geneva. Some may recognize Lake Geneva as the popular summer retreat for
Chicago wealthy since the 1850’s and it is still known as “The Newport of the
West”.
