The Chinese New Year will ring in on February 3, signaling the beginning of the Year of the Rabbit. The Rabbit symbolizes graciousness, good manners, sound counsel, kindness and sensitivity to beauty.
The year should reflect the softness of the rabbit, as well as its graceful and nimble nature, as in these artworks found on Esty.com. 'Edgar' (left) by Amber Alexander, and 'Rabbit Girls' (right) by Zeng.
It's a time to reflect good taste and refinement, so why not throw in some bunny fun in our decor. Etsy artists seem to have the Year of the Rabbit in full swing.

It should be a year where we enjoy entertaining others or simply taking it easy. So, let's enchant our guests will cheerful fun. These great little appetizer plates seem like a perfect start.

If you stop by my house, you can visit with my sweet, wooden bunny. He keeps watch everyday to ensure that we stay on track to retain a languid and leisurely lifestyle. Just like the year according to Chinese culture, we will focus on a scene that is quiet and calm.
