This Giveaway has ended but stay tuned – I have another in the works and even a likely culprit as the prize!
Watch out! It’s about to happen! World Domination by BUNKEES!
Actually it all started with one tiny monkee – you can read Bunkee’s story here – it’s heartwarming, – you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll cheer Bunkee on and you’ll desperately look around for a monkee to hug!
Each Bunkee is unique, they are all handmade by me from glass. All Bunkees are digitally annealed to ensure their strength, they are then lightly etched making their cheeks almost pinchable, finally they are scrubbed clean so that they don’t smell of the jungle.
Bunkees are designed to be easily strung on cord or leather. They are not recommended for children because of course they are made of glass.
Bunkees are only available until Easter – if it’s good enough for Cadbury’s it’s good enough for Bunkees!
It’s time for a Giveaway!
I wanted to finish Bunkee’s story with a real bad pun of a proverb, but couldn’t think of anything better than ‘ A fool and his Bunkee are soon parted‘ – I know, it’s feeble!
All you need to do to get in on the giveaway is leave me a really bad pun about my story (in the form of a comment on this post), or at the very least give me some more ideas for monkee beads, or let me know what you think about the Bunkees! Don’t forget to leave some way for me to contact you. Once Easter is over I’ll have a random draw and one lucky person will win a Bunkee of their very own!
FREE SHIPPING on all Bunkees!
Wow Louise your beads are becoming more amazing each time that I see them! You have such artistic talent! Throw Him Behind Monkee Bars! Glad that you have tapped into this incredible talent that you possess! Love you Louise I will be up that way soon and for sure will visit!

Bunkees are funkeee and turning on their tails and tooting on the other munkees
Louise,
Just want you to know my grandchildren loved the Bunkee story and absolutely adore your Bunkee beads.
Never mind a wolf in sheep’s clothing – beware a monkey in rabbit’s clothing…he might steal your carrots!
I love Bunkee’s story, it sounds like he is really ‘hoppy’ to finally be accepted in the jungle. I can’t help but identify with him though as i’ve been allergic to bananas since I was a baby and just the smell of one makes me feel sick. Good job i’m not a monkey I guess!
Love your Bunkees..Great story!!
“To like a Bunkee is human
To own a Bunkee..or two or three…divine.”
Oh My Gosh they are so cute!!
It looks like some’bunny’ is is monkeying around with his identity
ok ok I am really bad at this sort of thing – in any event they look so amazing!
Here’s an idea (just in case my ‘pun’ was too horrible to count): Could you do them hatching out of little eggs (with the top of the shell on top of their heads, with the ears poking out under the sides?) or would that be too impossible? How about a monkee clad in a fresh green leaf?
You never cease to amaze Louise – now we understand why you’ve been quiet lately
Bunkees are just too cute!
Beans beans the musical fruit
The more they eat the more they toot
The more they toot the better they feel
So feed bunkees beans at every meal!
Your bunkees are too cute! Where do you get your ideas? I love them. A bunkee in the hand is worth 4 in bunkeeville? I know that’s not even a good pun, but I tried!
these are just the cutest every! And that’s no BUNK!!
Louise, I did laugh, cry and end up with a big smile on my face. Lots about carrots and bananas, and not a single thing about mushy marshmallow madness as monkees make merry with baby bouncing bunnies.
Ah well, i gave it a shot. So glad the story had such a wonderful ending. You really need to write a children’s book series.
A rolling bunkee gathers no moss?
…………………..I’ll get me coat!!!!
Gorgeous beads, and love the story! Here’s mine:
A Bunkee who hides his ears is just another monkey!…..from the proverb: A peacock who sits on its tail is just another turkey.
You guys are too funny! I’m loving the silliness! Keep it coming!
I don’t have anything funny, but something along the lines of: ‘It takes true friends to help bring out your inner bunkee’ or ‘Friends never judge you for being who you are, they help you become who you want to be’.
I really thought the Bunkee story was adorable!
Those are SO cute!
What keeps running through my mind is, “Hey, hey we’re the Bunkees and people say we Bunkee around!”
Okay, how about …
Cleanliness is next Bunkee-ness
Don’t count your Bunkees before they are hatched.
A man is known by the Bunkees he keeps.
All is fair in love and Bunkees
A Bunkee a day keeps the doctor away.
April showers bring Bunkee flower.

Good Bunkees make good neighbors.

If your bunkee is bad, do you spank it?
Louise, These are hysterically funny!!!
Bunkies can hop and swing from trees. But they don’t lay easter eggs. Chickies do that.
Then one day Briar the bunny tried on a monkey suit.
Monkeys were Bunkees and Bunnys were Monkees.
And the farmers didn’t know who to protect the carrot or banana patch from.
Finally Starbucks caught on and sold a lot of cross dressing bears
And that was how the cross dresser trend started.
I think a lot of reality shows developed too.
Well Louise, Sue seems to have got most of them so I’ll try a different tact!!
As car stickers could read:

We may be comin’ to your town.
Hey, hey, we’re the Bunkees!
Hey, hey, we’re the Bunkees!
Hi Louise,

Marilyn S (Virginia)
Well, it’s that time of the year, for my favourite multilingual joke (but too late for the giveaway, right)…. (I haven’t been able to work “bunkee” into the bad pun)
What do the French think of Easter?
It’s a bunny day.
Once a Bunkee always a Bunkee!
A Bunkee in the hand is worth two Bunkee’s in the Bush!
