What better excuse than Easter looming to list your favourite bunnies?
My all time favourite children’s light has to be the Dutch designed Miffy night light. Inspired by Dick Bruna’s legendary picture book rabbit Miffy (or Nijntje as I knew her), the light is an amazing focal point for a simple nursery. It’s made from recyclable plastic (read: shatter proof) and shines a soft ambient light which you can leave on at night whilst your little one dreams away. I love the supersize floor version (80cm tall), but her smaller sister (50cm) is rather fabulous too. They’re available here.
Did you know that Miffy was created after Bruna had been telling his one-year-old son stories about a little rabbit they had seen in the dunes while on holiday? Miffy became a girl after Bruna decided that he wanted to draw a dress and not trousers on his rabbit. Her Dutch name Nijntje is short for konijntje, meaning ‘little rabbit’.
Sweet dreams x!

Oh Ursula, you always make my heart sing!
I once saw a documentary with Bruna on creating ‘Miffy’. He’s such a cool dude! It was funny to see the creator behind being not what I expected. He’s done well and we all LOVE Miffy.
Never saw the supersize floor version. How gorgeous.
Thank you for my Easter treat. x
Thanks Tina! What’s Miffy called in Germany?
Is it wrong for a woman with grandsons to want one for HERSELF!
No Penny. Absolutely NOT! : )
How sweet is this! I didn’t know about Miffy, so I even learned something 🙂
Xx.
