Collection 12: Owls!




If you blog, you have to be into owls right? Haha, owls are so prevalent in vintage decor you always find tons in thrift shops. And they are so cute! These are part of my larger woodland creature collection (including my squirrels and deer). I recently thrifted that little shelf! It is so cute, I'm not sure where it will end up.
The shell owl is from a Florida trip a few years ago. A friend gave me the white owls as a wedding gift.
Super cute owl salt and pepper shakers. I like that they are colored like parrots.
Coconut owl! This is another Florida purchase. I couldn't resist him!
I got this ash tray at an antique mall years ago. The cats recently broke the front of it, but I love it so much I'm going to keep it. Have you ever seen a cuter ash tray? 
Handmade owl art! Travis made the one of the left, and he found that hilarious sun flower seed one on the right. He has little tiny seeds around his eyes. So weird and awesome.
A sweet wooden owl that my best friend bought for me on her trip to Mexico! She always brings me back the BEST gifts.
A little Ryan Berkley illustration, I love that Mr. Owl has on an owl brooch. A little owl avon bottle, and a cute Nashville owl thermometer.
I actually have more owl art, but it is all pretty big and I didn't pull it down. Those owls on the wood are really pretty, I got them at an estate sale for a dollar. The white owls are made of thick paper. They are from the goodwill outlet, so is the owl wire art.
Hope you enjoyed that! It is probably my last woodland creatures collection, I don't think I have enough skunks or foxes to give them their own post. One of these days I'll figure out the lighting situation and give you a tour of my woodland-themed craft room!

    You could always make post about both your skunk and fox collection? I wanna see cute fox stuff! And I've never really seen much skunk stuff.

  5. There is something about owls :-) I love the turquoise owl and the Avon owl. I have a large pewter owl necklace which is worn often and recently I was given a portrait of an owl, which was painted by a friend. Owls are friendly looking I think. Your collection is amazing!

  8. Yes, now you mention it i do have a few owls scattered about too. I'm crazy about the avon ones are classic, you must have a macrame one do you? I tried to make a mini macrame owl for my doll house but it didnt work out, but i really want a life size one now, they are the ultiate retro owl for me x
