Mariposa is hosting Fun Monday this week and her assignment is to post about a collection we have. I have lots of collections but I’m choosing my Beatrix Potter Figurines to show. The photos are not great quality but you’ll get the idea…
These were mostly collected in the 1970’s. I got a fair number of them while travelling to Great Britain in 1973 and 1974. They are all F. Warne & Co.Ltd. Beswick, England.
Peter Rabbit, Benjamin Bunny, Mopsy Flopsy and Cottontail, Mrs. Rabbit
Mr. Benjamin Rabbit, Mrs. Flopsy Bunny, Mrs. Tiggywinkle, Sally Henny Penny
Goody Tiptoes, Timmy Tiptoes, Tailor of Gloucester, Johnny Townmouse
Lady Mouse, Samuel Whiskers, Hunca Munca, The Old Woman who lived in a Shoe
Aunt Pettitoes, Little Pig Robinson, Pigling Bland, Amiable Guinea Pig
Jeremy Fisher, Mr. Alderman Ptolemy, Sir Isaac Newt, John Joiner
Ribby, Tom Kitten, Jemima Puddleduck, Mrs. Tiggywinkle
27 figurines in all. I posted Mrs. Tiggywinkle twice to fill in the collage and because she’s my favorite. I was having a “senior moment” on a couple of the figurines and couldn’t remember their names…

Photobucket is holding all my photos from 2007-2015 hostage and they have blacked them all out. I’m slowly working at restoring my posts without their help. Such a tiresome bother!

You have a very nice collection. The figurines are lovely reminders of Ms. Potter’s delightful tales. I have a Mrs. Rabbit and Bunnies figurine from the same manufacturer
I can see how collecting these charming figurines would be addictive. Especially if you could purchase them “on location” in England–is that in the Lake District? I’m remembering some mention of Beatrix Potter there on a trip a few years ago. I should be better informed. . .
Very cute! I once did a birth sampler in cross stitch for a friends little boy with Peter rabbit as the main picture! It was very well received. Some characters are just timeless!
I wish you a Squirrel Nutkin for your collection!!
Be blessed.

Love your collection!!! They’re priceless and timeless…thanks for playing…
Happy Fun Monday!
I love your collection. I grew up with the Beatrix Potter books and those pictures bring back fond memories.
I love Beatrix Potter and especially Peter.
Those are wonderful!
I love these!
So English.
Very sweet collection.
Samuel Whiskers used to scare the **** out of me. And that story made mutton sound just hideous.
I have a Jemima Puddleduck ornament for my Christmas Tree. My son just loved Jemima stories.
A fine collection. I really love ’em, there’s a few I’ve never seen before. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Ellen,
Absolutely charming! What a coincidence…. I am just now getting ready to start my Beatrix Potter Figurine collection too. Thanks for sharing your collection with us!
I have been wanting to read the biography of Beatrix Potter that just came out not too long ago, but haven’t gotten to it yet.
Oh those are lovely. Have you been to her house in the Lake District? It’s a lovely experience. I went there as a child and never forgot it.
I love her books! What a lovely collection of Beatrix Potter figurines!!! Reminds me I have my sister’s half along with my half of mom’s Hummel Collection (while Barb’s traveling) but methinks I don’t choose to post photos. My Fun Monday post is at Small Reflections.
Hugs and blessings,
I absolutely love this collection. We have a lot of the books but not the figurines.
What a lovely collection you have. I’ve enjoyed reading the stories to the children, but would love to collect these beautiful whimsy figurines.
They are so cute!! I would love to collect them!
What a perfectly charming collection you have. You must really treasure it.
I have never heard of these but they are absolutely darling.
awwwright. Who dusts these little critters? (:
Miss Potter would be proud. What is sad I don’t even know all the stories. Thanks for Sharing
These are just beyond very cute! For some reason, I am in love with the yellow chicken. I don’t know these characters at all – although, of course I’ve heard of Beatrix Potter – but I love the yellow chicken anyway 😀

I love those…Beatrix Potter is one of my favorites!!!
Those are adorable! What a cute collection! I guess you really enjoyed the book.
I too have a collection, though not as many as yours. I am a muralist and have painted the scenes from Peter Rabbit in many a child’s room. He is still my favorite. Have you seen the movie “Miss Potter”? It is quite charming.

Hi Brenda, Yes, I have seen the movie and I’ve read one biography about her. I bet those murals are wonderful…
