Owl Babies in the Tree

I was flipping through Flickr, when I came across this photograph by Roger. It completely made my day! I wanted to share the cuteness of these Great Horned owl babies who seem to be enjoying in their unique nest. If you look closely, it looks as if they are wearing eye masks.

Salt and Pepper


This vintage pair of wooden salt and pepper shakers are by Le Petit Boutique. I wish I could zoom-in some more to see their eyes closely. Adore those bow tie!!

Friday Freebie!


Yesterday, I came across this cool website NaniBird, which has loads of birds to "download, print, cut and play!" I was holding my breath while browsing through the website, hoping to find an owl. I rejoiced at seeing this colorful owl. Isn't it awesome? Download it here. Have fun!

Urban Outfitters


Urban outfitters has these fun and funky owl pillowcases for all of us owl fans. I wonder if they feature mom-daughter(or son!) owls?

Velvet


With all it's glitter and glam, it's a perfect Christmas tree decoration. I like its soft, feathery feel and its eyebrows make me laugh. I think, I could also use this as a napkin clip to dress up my dining table for dear guests. Would you?

Available at Velvet.

{Mochimochi}




I wish I knew how to knit because I want these owlets so much. I like them in the tree hole, but I love them in the tiny, little nests on swings. You can get patterns for these Oscillating Owlets from Anna's shop - Mochimochi. You would want to stop by and see many more cute patterns which will leave you wanting more. Her shop is a haven for knitters!

Lark: Motif Soap


Lark's new range - Swap, offers achingly cute soaps which are inspired by vintage swap cards of the 1970s and 1980s. These animal motif soaps are made of organic ingredients: coconut, olive, palm and sunflower oils. Go ahead, use these. Yes, USE, because it won't fade or rub off the motif. Isn't that amazing?

Made By White








Yesterday I discovered this fun website Made By White, and I knew I had to let you know about it. It's a business run by two sisters, Lyndsay and Kelly White, hence the name of their brand, Made By White. Their products are unique and beautiful. The top four images are of wall stickers and the bottom two are of chalkboards. My favorite of the lot is the deer sticker. Notice the branches for antlers and owl, squirrel, bat, snail etc hidden in them.

Loungefly: {Bags}



Owl with trees tote and clutch



Crowded teeth green owl tote and clutch

Loungefly is known for canvas bags with skull patterns, but their new product range has these adorable owl print canvas totes and clutches. The tote on the top features owls alongside trees, and the tote at the bottom features faux suede appliquéd owls and clouds. Both the prints are available in clutches too. Lovely!

Mie Kongo: Cup


Good Morning! How do you like this cute little cup for your first dose of owl-ness? The designer, Mie, used an owl from 1950s mold and attached to the cup that she designed herself. I like the tiny blue tint on the cup. You?

Check out these cups in several styles and sizes in her store.

Hi+New 'My Owl Barn'


Hi everyone, how's your day going? Did you get some time to relax and catch up on things? As for me, I really needed this weekend to scratch off few important things from my long list. One of those things were to change the template for the blog. Which I did! I'd truly appreciate if you could let me know how do you like the new look of the blog. I have only changed the skin, the soul is same ;)
