London: Miffy the Bunny on display

During a walking tour of Amsterdam last summer we spotted and purchased many cutsie postcards of our favorite carrot-eating friend, Miffy the bunny. Dick Bruna’s feelgood furball—whose name is Nintje in the Dutch-speaking world—is now celebrating her 50th birthday in London at the Victoria and Albert Museum of Childhood. Dare we say the Miffster doesn’t look a day over two? And, her simple, smart wardrobe is positively Prada-inspired.
But if happy hares in minimalist dresses send you rushing for a Cadbury egg, be forewarned. Just on the rabbit feet of last year’s salmonella scare—in which Cadbury recalled a million chocolate bars—the UK-based company has now issued a new warning on thousands of their candy eggs. Bad bunny! Bad!

Ha! I feel the need to purchase at least a baker’s dozen of these cuddlies. My goodness, the British do everything better (except maybe breakfast). Including making safe and round things like Miff. Though, I do think Japan has that market cornered.
