Last week I nabbed this little friend for 50 cents at a Goodwill. I washed her up and intend to repair her, but now I'm curious where she came from. Apologies for the sideways photos. Her body seems to be stuffed with tiny stones, while her head and paws seem to have regular stuffing.

Dolgencorp, based in Goodlettsville, Tennessee, does business as Dollar Tree. Seems your little friend was only $1 when new.
It appears Dolgencorp is also Dollar General.
There is no way to really identify this bunny other than it was probably available during Easter season (year?) in mass at Dollar General Stores. The price could have been anywhere between $3 to $10 and may have been discounted in after Easter sales.
I believe the stones are used so the bunnies can sit up properly. It is nice that she is washable so you can enjoy her for many years.
Here is an excerpt from a business website about Dollar General:
"Dolgencorp, LLC, doing business as Dollar General, operates discount department stores. It retails basic consumer goods. The company was founded in 1973 and is based in Goodlettsville, Tennessee. Dolgencorp, LLC operates as a subsidiary of Dollar General Corporation."
Wikipedia states the company started in 1939 and changed name in 1968.
She is sweet!!! You are a kind person to repair her and give her a new life!! I hope you will get to enjoy her!! Her stones should let her sit nicely on a shelf.
