5 out of 5 starsSuch a creative idea - an Easter bunny juggling dresden chicks. Love everything about it - the colors, design, materials, etc. Well constructed too!

I was born and raised on a dairy farm in Saratoga Springs, NY. My mother is a talented artist and my father is a farmer and inventor. Through them I learned that creative and practical possibilities are limitless and now I'm living a dream.
