Welcome Back
Some of you have emailed me to make sure I’m still here..I’m here! I’m here! Welcome to my new updated Bunny Tales. I’ve been thinking about giving my blog a new look for some time now, and I finally decided that no matter what, I had to make time to do it. I hope you like it.
Instead of leading you into a single post on the home page, I’ve given you a selection. The current post will always be in the upper left corner. Just click on it and you’ll be there. If you’re looking for something in particular you can use the “Search” tab over in the right side bar. I’m amazed at how great it works. For example, try searching for the picture I took of an artichoke. Just type in artichoke, click on go, and three posts that mention the word “artichoke” will come up. Go ahead, try it and I’ll wait for you. Just be sure and come right back!
Great, I’m glad you’re back! I hope you read the posts while you were there, because I’ve decided to do a “welcome back to my blog give-away”! Just look at what I’m giving away…
…three bags of Cosmo Embroidery Floss! There’s enough floss in each bag, you may never have to buy floss again! To win one of these floss bags, leave me a comment with the word “artichoke” in it. You can copy from any of my previous posts, or you can make up your own sentence using the word artichoke. I guarantee inside each of these bags is an artichoke color floss that you can use to embroider little artichokes (see how easy it is?). I’ll pick three random winners on Monday, June 20th.
And here’s some news that might make you feel better if you don’t win one of these treat bags. Cosmo floss will be 25% off during our upcoming sale. I’ve moved our July 4th sale to June! For three days everything on our website will be 25% off. Everything! So save the dates of June 24, 25 and 26! It’s our annual July 4th sale early!
I’ve missed all of you and it feels good to be back in blog-land. I hope you’re enjoying some California artichokes this weekend!
Hugs,
Anne

Some of my favorite things….. artichokes and Cosmo floss! 😊
Mary T Salmon
I grew up on artichokes since I am from California. My husband Roberto, although from California, never had an artichoke in his life. When he came over for dinner to meet my parents my mother served artichokes. Not wanting to let us know that he had never had an artichoke and not wanting to be impolite he ate the whole thing even the leaves!
I love your new blog, Anne!
Carole Crane
It doesn’t matter if it is in a dip, casserole or color of thread, artichokes are wonderful!

Have you ever tried growing an artichoke tree from the artichoke seed?

Artichoke colour floss, yes, but as to eating artichokes, no way. Great giveaway
Brenda Cornell
Bitsy loves artichokes?! That is a new one. By the way, I may be the only person living in California that hasn’t tried artichokes yet. It has only been 15 years, but who is counting?

A friend of ours grew a few acres of artichokes for seed this past spring. They are so pretty and different when they go to seed! Fun to photograph!
Kathleen O'Grady
Love your new website, gorgeous colors! Did you know that in 1947 Marilyn Monroe was crowned Artichoke Queen in Castroville, California, and that California produces 100% of the artichokes grown in the U.S. A little trivia for you today, haha!
Christine
I love artichoke hearts in my salads…they are the taste of summer!

I have never eaten a artichoke but they would make a lovely colour for floss. Thanks for the draw.

I have never eaten an artichoke but love to embroider and have never used Cosmo floss. I would love to try them.
Jennifer
Many years ago when I was quite small, my mother had a beautiful evening gown with the skirt made of many petals of sage green satin, hence we called it the artichoke dress.
Sue Brummet
I first tasted an artichoke many years ago at an elegant dinner party.
Charlotte Victor
I love artichokes too, I put mine in a pressure cooker and two cook in 15 minutes. I will have to try cutting in half and pan fry. I like butter and mayo both.
Pieta Laker
Lightly steamed artichoke with melted butter, pepper and lemon juice. Almost as yummy as the bags of thread. Love the new look.
Doreen B
I make a delicious hot artichoke dip served with crackers. Yum yum.
The cosmos floss colours look yummy too!!!! Thanks for the chance to own them.
Judi
I remember the artichoke hair style! Yes, I wore it back in the dark ages as a teen. It was a teased hairdo where you had bangs and the rest of the top fanned out. Short hair!
DeAnna Dodson
I can’t say that I’ve ever eaten an artichoke, but those bags of floss look big enough to choke a horse. :D
Love your new blog. So pretty!
Glad you’re back.
Becky
Do you like artichoke pizza? My friend has the best recipe, shared with her friends at quilt camp last year!
