our volunteer gave a very informative talk, so a huge thanks for that!

it's always nice to talk about hares 


and to spend time with people who are interested in hares and finding out more about the work that we do for the Trust and the welfare of these very attractive, very enigmatic beasties


love hares?

Pin on a little tweed hare

and enjoy the last of winter's cool brisk days with a gorgeous tweed hare brooch on your lapel

or have friendly hare pinned on your bag


or keep hare warm too, as a nice accoutrement to your tartan scarf


and not just hares for every day wear, 

add some glam and pearls to your evening outfit


and perhaps your friend would appreciate a friendly (faux fur) hare too?


pop one in the post to them along with a happy note on this tender postcard

and make every day of the year the 'year of the hare'!

All available in the Hare Preservation Trust online shop, but mind, the brooches are all one-of-a-kind handmade originals by Annette, and the postcards won't be printed again and are now rare!
