Buttons Bunnyton, original, one-of-a-kind miniature handmade peach-pink floral bunny rabbit art doll figurine by artist Elizabeth RuffingButtons Bunnyton’s mother always said, “You are what you eat!” But Buttons never believed her.

Buttons likes to eat flowers.

She used to be a spotted bunny, but after eating so many flowers, Button Bunnyton’s spots started growing petals!

Now, instead of being covered in spots, Buttons is covered in flowers.

But that’s okay. She’ll keep eating her neighbors’ flowers.
