Bunnies By The Bay

Little Taylor is absolutely adorable in her Little Pink Dress. She loves to run around and discover all the new fun things the world has to offer. Taylor is the daughter of Karen McCoy Brayden, who is apart of our Bunnies By The Bay family on the east coast. Taylor is pictured here at 13 months old and already has an amazing curiosity and playful personality.

A special thank you to Karen for capturing these delightful photos of Taylor. We wish you and your family a very happy holidays!

This precious pink dress is an endearing present to give a baby girl as her first special dress. It comes nestled inside a beautiful storybook box with a picture frame on the cover and a wee book inside. The Little Pink Dress Storywear Set includes a playfully romantic pale pink silk dress with matching bloomers and bonnet.

As a baby's story begins, this lovely dress is passed on from mother to daughter until one day she can pass it on to her daughter. Elegantly embroidered between the ruffles: "Stitched between these ruffles and folds, Is a pretty little tale just waiting to be told, About a wee girl and her little pink dress, That loved it so much it was always a mess!"

The Little Pink Dress is a timeless keepsake that can be cherished by your family forever.

In the spirit of Thanksgiving tomorrow, we are reminded to give thanks for all the positive things that we are grateful for in our lives. We may also need to be reminded of the flip side to that which is the necessity to give back to others, especially those who may not be able to share a nice meal with family and friends. On this holiday, ask yourself if you want to contribute to making a difference in this world. Everyone has the opportunity to pay it forward even in the smallest way.
Here at Bunnies By The Bay, we are eternal advocates for international adoption and the wonderful ways it can change people's lives. This story caught our eye, and hopefully it will grab your attention as well.

In February 2006, a husband and wife began a personal fundraiser to be able to adopt their son from Russia by selling homemade chocolates and truffles. Throughout the course of their fundraising, the money they needed for the adoption was eventually made available through other ways. Therefore, in the end they did not need the money that was raised, but their outlook on life was changed forever. The generosity of others donating money to help them was an act of kindness so great, it astounded them. The only way they knew how to pay it forward was to continue their fundraising to help other children in need of finding a family to call their own.

Over the years, their admirable cause has developed into an organization called Sweet Hope. All of the proceeds from their chocolate sales go to assisting families in need of completing adoption funds, and also to those children in orphanages who might never be adopted. An example is in 2008, a Baby House in Khabarovsk, Russia was able to purchase medical equipment and toys for the children from the proceeds donated by Sweet Hope. This family has shown that the actions of one person can affect millions.

You can find out more information about Sweet Hope at www.sweethopefoundation.org. At this time, Sweet Hope's next batch of chocolates, truffles and caramels are available to order from www.etsy.com/shop/StellaCoom.

Make a difference this holiday season and bring a little bit of sweet hope to a child's life.

Remember, "To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world." ~Brandi Snyder

Happy Thanksgiving!
