Dressed Up Bunnies at Husk - supporting the Cup Half Full Charity

Throughout July, Melbourne's Husk boutiques are celebrating the beginning of the new season with a SPRING BUNNY EXHIBITION! 30 curious critters have been specially "dressed up" by friends of Husk including Willow, Kate Cebrano, Easton Pearson, Bouvier and Michi Girl. (I first spotted Michi Bunny dressed up to the nines in one of Michi Girl's afternoon emails. Michi Bunny is a vision in pink ruffles, complimented by pearl earrings.)

I don't know how you'd choose from so many personalities! However, artist Matt Eddelbuttel's creation (pictured above) certainly caught my attention. I just love his little hat!

EP Bunny by designers Easton Pearson - available through silent auction at Husk.

The bunnies are on display throughout July in the three Husk boutiques - located in Melbourne City, Toorak & Albert Park. They are availble to purchase through a silent auction - so you'll have to visit your bunny regularly to make sure he/she will be coming home with you!

Look! Konnichi Wa Bunny by designer Brigid McLaughlin has her very own wooden Japanese sandals... too cute! I wonder how she can hop in those?

Driving Miss Bunny by artist David Bromely - available through silent auction at Husk.

The Spring Bunny exhibition is being held in support of the Cup Half Full charity which helps young people in need. Proceeds from the sale of the 30 fashionable friends will assist Husk in placing 30 kids through the Cup Half Full program which provides an accredited barista training course and follow up work experience. So when you bid on your favourite bunny, you are also supporting a very worthy cause!
