Close to my house growing up there was a small, abandoned jewel-box of a train depot that my sister and I called the “Bunny House.” We imagined that it was the Easter Bunny’s off-season home, and even now that I’m the one filling baskets and hiding eggs, I still conjure those childhood daydreams of an enchanted white bunny gathering her Easter supplies from the train depot. And in these fantasies she is almost definitely carrying a basket full of these Heirloom Wool Easter Eggs!
