Owl Collection #2

Two more shelves of owls that I didn't show last time.

Don't judge me, I'm an owlaholic.

Owl About Thursday

Just a quick post for Owl About Thursday, to show off some beautiful owls I've received in the mail. I bought them on eBay and Etsy.This bud vase I've been wanting since forever, and was stoked when I found it and the owl statue pictured below on etsy!I love the vintage side of Etsy, don't you!?

I've been meaning to show off some more of the owls in my collection, so here we go!

I recently found this little beauty in an oppy for $1.50 total score! He's a Biloela souvenir creamer -This guy I bought at the markets for $2. He was so cheap because he had red stains, but nothing a little cream spray paint couldn't fix -I've had this otagiri owl mug for awhile now. I use him to store pens in. He cost 50 cents -Last for today is this awesome pillow I picked up at Target with 20% off -I love his fuzzy tummy! So do the cats, judging by the amount of kitty fur I keep getting off of him!

I've gotten some wonderful owls from etsy recently, I might do a post on them next Thursday...

Since we're getting ever-closer to Christmas, I thought I'd share some tutorials for owl jewelry. It's still not too late to make one or all of these for the owl-lover in your life!! As usual, click on the pictures and they'll link to their tutorials!

Owl About Thursday

A while back, I won a panel of material from eBay for $6.00 including postage. One half of the panel was a wolf picture, the other side, an owl! I sent them to the gorgeous Teresa (among other things soon to be revealed!) who very kindly sewed them together for me into two separate cushion covers. The Owl cushion is for me, the Wolf cushion is a Christmas present for my Dad who just adores all things wolfish! Here's my gorgeous cushion -Divine huh? Also, I scored this at a garage sale about three weeks ago for only $10.He's a corner wall shelf!!! I can't wait to put him up somewhere in my room!! I'm planning on displaying some of my (but of course!) owls on him. What do you think?

Owl About Thursday

I know it's been awhile, but I've been a busy little bee, buzzing along madly this past week trying to organize myself in time for Christmas.

Today I have to share two very special things, which only arrived in the mail a few short hours ago! The first is from Sue, who asked if I would swap some Pumpkin Pins. Owl Bunting, anyone?! You bet!!!!!

(Click picture to enlarge and admire and be jealous)

Sue, you've done an amazing job!They are awesome, and look so good hanging on the curtains in our entertainment room! The cats are loving playing with the little stars you popped in the envelope, and I'm finding them everywhere now! lol

My other little package is from Melody. She contacted me a few weeks ago saying she'd found a little something, a present from one animal lover to another. Isn't that the sweetest thing?! Look what she sent me!Oh Melody, he's such a cute little hoot!He's going to feel right at home with my little collection of Glass Owls (Which I'll showcase in another Owl About Thursday.)
Until next time!
