The music boxes arrived today! I am rather disappointed about some of the items. The wooden music box I got for Tallulah is most definitely YELLOW, very yellow. In the picture, it looks white, and the description says it's white. There are also a couple of little cracks in the finish and the quality just doesn't seem that great, it kind of seems like an overpriced item you'd find at a gift shop catering to tourists. So, back it goes!
I'm probably going to send the Beatrix Potter box back too. The twirling bunny is actually secured to the spring with hot glue and the music box part sounds kinda bad. I may decide to keep it though.
I'm going to keep the hummingbird figurine. It's pretty darn cute! There are a couple misplaced droplets of glue on it, and the music box part (which is electronic) sounds terrible, but I didn't buy it because of the music box. It's sweet and pretty, so I'll keep it!
Surprisingly, the thing I like the most is the lop eared bunny with the bouquet. She's so pretty, and all the flowers were handmade. She's pretty tall too, over 8 inches! The music box sounds lovely, though I think there may have been a mistake in the construction of it because a couple of notes in one part of the song are wrong. For some reason that doesn't really bother me though.
Lessons learned: don't buy a $150 item that I can't inspect personally first! I think I'm just going to keep my eyes open for a nice box for the bunnies' ashes. I'm actually considering re-thinking how I arrange Tallulah's memorial spot on my dresser. I may have the lop eared bunny as the main thing, with the framed picture of Tallulah next to it, the birdhouse and the little hummingbird figurine. Then maybe I'll put her ashes in a small glass bottle with a cork and a little ribbon and set it by the porcelain rabbit. Regardless, I'll take pictures of the set up!
