Wise Owls

I absolutely adore this collection of owl figurines featured on abby try again (via here comes the sun).  I'm a sucker for anything with an owl on it.. not sure when or why this obsession came over me, but it's been quite a few years of owl lovin' with no end in sight.

Plenty of designers have shown their admiration for our wise feathered friend in their collections - just check out a few of the pieces below that are all on sale right now!  The gorgeous sweater is actually a DIY project from Needled that I could only ever dream of imitating. Amazing work!

Fowl Friends

Even though the fall is creeping in and the mornings are freezing in my apartment, an (seemingly) invisible bird outside my window insists on waking me up instead of letting my usual alarm clock do its job. Don't birds migrate south in cold weather? What happened to this guy and why did he get left behind? Maybe I'll try to catch him and domesticate him. OR I'll just look at these lovely curiosities on boxes from Lyndie Dourthe! Amazing!
