Easter bunny, year of the rabbit

As Easter approaches, the iconic symbol of the season, the Easter bunny, comes to mind. This year, 2023, is particularly special as it is the Year of the Rabbit according to the Chinese zodiac. So, in honor of both Easter and the Year of the Rabbit, let’s take a look at the history and significance of the Easter bunny.

The Easter bunny has been a part of Easter celebrations for centuries, but its origins are not entirely clear. One theory suggests that the Easter bunny dates back to ancient pagan festivals, where rabbits were seen as symbols of fertility and new life. This is because rabbits are known for their rapid breeding and numerous offspring, making them a fitting symbol for the renewal of spring.

Another theory is that the Easter bunny has Christian roots. In the 1700s, German immigrants to the United States brought with them the tradition of the “Osterhase,” a hare that laid colored eggs as gifts for children. This tradition eventually evolved into the modern-day Easter bunny we know and love.

Regardless of its origins, the Easter bunny has become an important symbol of Easter around the world. In many cultures, the Easter bunny is believed to bring baskets of candy and gifts to children on Easter morning. Children often leave out carrots or other treats for the bunny to snack on in exchange for the goodies left in their baskets.

This year, as we celebrate the Year of the Rabbit, the Easter bunny takes on even greater significance. According to the Chinese zodiac, those born in the Year of the Rabbit are said to be intelligent, kind-hearted, and compassionate. They are also known for their gentle and peaceful nature, making them a fitting symbol for the message of hope and renewal that Easter represents.

In addition to its symbolic significance, the Easter bunny also provides a fun and lighthearted element to Easter celebrations. Whether it’s participating in an Easter egg hunt or indulging in some chocolate treats, the Easter bunny brings joy to people of all ages.

So, as we celebrate Easter and the Year of the Rabbit this year, let’s take a moment to appreciate the joy and meaning that the Easter bunny brings to our lives. Whether you believe in the ancient pagan roots or the Christian symbolism, there’s no denying that the Easter bunny is a beloved part of Easter traditions around the world. Happy Easter and may the Year of the Rabbit bring peace, joy, and renewal to us all!

Don’t Forget Dad!

He’s the guy who’s there when you need him — whether he’s helping you move into a nest of your own, walking you down the aisle (hello Wedding Season!), or just spotting you that “occasional” $20. And if he’s anything like ours, he doesn’t want to talk about it.

When it comes to celebrating Dad without embarrassing you both, mail is your best friend.

Think about it: you get to show your appreciation without having to make eye contact — and you come out looking like the favorite child. One of these Dad-friendly cards is sure to perk up your old man and build up a stockpile of mutual understanding for the next time you lock your keys in your car and dial his number at 2 AM.

Pop Some Mom Love in the Mail!

As Mother’s Day grows nearer, you can’t get too far without hearing comments about “greeting card holidays” and “corporate cliches.”

We might be biased here at Studio Masha D’yans, but we don’t think it’s quite as glum as all that!

In fact, we think of sending a greeting card as a radical act of love!

What used to be common (sending a letter through the mail) is long considered to be quaint. The act of mailing a card through the postal service can be fun, personalized, and might just make you feel like a kid again.

When it comes to greeting cards, tenderness and affection can be found in the ritual itself. In the time it took to choose one, to compose and handwrite it. In the sealing of the envelope, in the walk to the mailbox… in the joy that comes from receiving a thoughtful piece of stationery in a box that usually delivers bills or unwanted junk .

With Mother’s Day approaching, it can be tempting to think of a greeting card as a cliche… but choosing a beautiful, artfully-created card to express your love to whomever you call “Mom” — or someone who is missing theirs — is a classic that’s hard to beat.

Pop some love in the mailbox or pair it with a beautiful gift. Here are a few of our faves right now:

Cactus Deer

This bright-eyed, bushy-tailed desert friend is sure to lift Mom’s spirits and usher in spring!

 

Sunset Soak

This dreamy sunset scene is sure to lull the mother in your life into a luxurious, pampering mood!

Is Mom a cat lover? A music lover? Both? This jazzy cat is a unique, fun way to send some pep through the post.

Pair our cards with few of our favorite gift ideas to make Mom’s day!

Hey, it’s almost May Day!

What gives you more warm fuzzies than a playful surprise showing up on your doorstep?

Whether it’s a basketful of jelly beans in your fave color, a bottle of bubbly from someone who knows you well or daffodils popping after April showers, we think May Day surprises are the bee’s knees.

May Day is a fun, classic holiday… but did you know just how classic? We’re not talking classic like a string of pearls, we’re talking historical, ancient classic. Like, Stonehenge classic!

May Day Goddess Flora

Goddess Flora by Sandro Botticelli, 1470

One of the oldest origins of May Day lies with the Druids of the British Isles, who believed May 1st symbolized the return of life and fertility to their part of the hemisphere. The Romans took this time to celebrate Flora, their goddess of flowers, and in Medieval times, the Maypole became a well-known tradition.

Frolicking, flowers, and light? That’s our kind of holiday here at Studio Masha D’yans!

The cool history of this holiday doesn’t stop with the Maypole, however. In the US in 1886, May 1st was the beginning of the 8 hour work week, making great strides in the improvement of American working conditions.

It’s the Year of the Dog!

2018 arrived a while ago, but the new beginnings are still sashaying in! On February 16th, the Chinese culture ushers in its New Year — and this year is the Year of the Dog.

All across our blue and green globe, families who celebrate the Chinese New Year eat copious amounts of food, open lucky red envelopes, marvel at vibrant parades and paper lanterns, and sweep the bad luck right out of their homes.

Each year is represented by 1 of 12 traditional animals, each with their own characteristic symbolism. The dog is known for its fierce loyalty and honesty — the makings of a truly good friend! With kindness and an inherently friendly nature, it’s a lovely thing to have a “dog” in your life. Additionally, it’s believed that having a child in Dog year is super-lucky, with the child enjoying a long life! So, we thought it’d be fun to kick of the Year of the Dog and share some peppy pooches from Masha’s collection.

3 Steps to Meaningful Holiday Correspondence

The way we see it, the holiday season is quite similar to a vibrant piece of art — subject to interpretation, it can spur different kinds of emotions in each individual. Depending on one’s point of view, a snowflake could signal anything from childlike glee to a deep, cold dread.

This is why we adore the idea of sending art in the form of a greeting card; it’s the perfect opportunity to capture what words might not be able to convey alone.

That being said, we do know there’s a blank canvas waiting in that card, and we’d love for it to complete a picture of warmth in the heart of your recipients. If you’re in search of the right words, try mixing the following tips into your holiday correspondence this season!

open-card-winter-woman

Gild it with some specifics.

Whether it’s a treasured memory or an inside joke, try including a little morsel of nostalgia or sentiment only the recipient will understand. This is a great way to elevate your message into something intimate and personal.

open-card-winter-tree

Is this holiday happy or harrowing?

Holiday cards are a time-honored tradition… but it’s important not to let tradition become impersonal. Before sending, ask yourself: Is this a happy holiday for this person? If not, be sure to acknowledge their feelings in addition to sending your warm thoughts.

open-card-holiday-deer

Focus on making it meaningful.

Humor can add a fun punch to a holiday card if it’s appropriate, but only if it comes naturally. A few honest, thoughtful words are always more powerful than a cliche or a forced joke.

We’re happy you’re here, and we hope you find the upcoming holiday season infused with warmth and wonder.
