We are very excited about February’s product of the month – Gloria bunnies!
The bunnies pictured below are as a result of our designer’s effort to create this new product. Ben does the cutting and putting together, Ashley critiques them and adds color, then Denise adds the bows and finishing touches.
It all starts with the idea to create a new bunny. Our goal is always to reinvent ourselves and innovate what we currently produce. As we start to make them, each one takes on a personality of their own. Some creations turn out worse than we expect and some better. The bad ideas head for the trash and the very best ideas go into production. We are then left with one of a kind gourds looking for a home. The next hop for these bunnies will be to our retail store as the February product of the month!
The finished Gloria bunnies…

Although we have many weeks of winter still ahead of us, it is fun to think about the coming of Spring. We just finalized the dates of our 2012 Spring Open Houses, which also puts us in the mood to talk about bunnies, chicks, and all things Easter!
For just a taste of spring in your home all year long, we suggest our dragonfly, hummingbird, or butterfly! These gourds are simple, modern, and beautiful. The light makes them a great option for a soothing nightlight as well. Just click on any of the images to purchase.

In a recent post, we introduced you to our February product of the month. (pictured below)
Meadowbrooke Gourds bunny candy dishes
These cute bunny candy dishes are great for spring decorations in your home, but these open-bellied bunnies would be great to use as Easter baskets, too!
Give these bunny baskets to your friends and family filled with:
- Plastic Easter grass
- Chocolate Easter eggs
- Easter egg bouncy balls
- Jellybeans
It’s so easy and fun to get creative with these Easter baskets. The bunny basket can then turn into a candy dish to display all the Easter goodies throughout the Spring season.
This Easter basket gourd is another great option for a unique basket to give as a gift or keep as a decoration for yourself.
The Easter bunny candy dishes and the Easter basket gourd can be purchased online at our Meadowbrooke Gourds website or at our retail store in Carlisle. Enjoy!
As you anticipate the idea of spring cleaning, you might also get the urge to organize and give your living space a face-lift. One task that is sometimes forgotten is our bookshelves! How do you balance your large book collection and make it look good at the same time? We have a few suggestions to get your creative gears working!
1. Alternate stacking books horizontally and vertically
2. In deep bookshelves, layer photos and books and stack figurines or other small art objects on horizontal books.
3. Our favorite suggestion is incorporating Meadowbrooke gourds into your bookshelves to add a splash of character to your collection!
These gourds would make great additions to your bookshelves by adding crisp color.
Our gourdicopia collection (small splendors featured to the left) would also make a beautiful display on a bookshelf.
You can find these gourds on our website!
Have fun with your rearranging this spring and don’t be afraid to try something new!
We don’t know about you, but at Meadowbrooke Gourds we are on to thinking about spring! During these dreary, snowy winter days, cheer yourself up by thinking of warm weather and spring blossoms! Here are some of our new gourds available online now.
(Stay tuned…we will be taking you behind the scenes of our production area to show you the crafting process of our new spring products!)
This chick has a yellow top with a white egg shell bottom. The top comes off like a lid so you can fill it with treats for Easter. Approximately 5" in diameter.
