Why Does The Easter Bunny Lay Eggs? The Roots of Tradition.

Here at Pretty Odd, we love a mascot - Whether it's the butterfly in our logo (and our 'points' system when you shop with us!); Donnie our newsletter-carrying pigeon who wings his way to your inbox every month; or Winnie our witchy familiar who adorns our mugs and visits us every Halloween - but an Easter bunny who leaves eggs every Easter?
