An owlbsession

Over this past year I've noticed I've become a little owlbsessed.

When you regularly haunt thrift stores, and Goodwills, you get to relive all the past decorating trends from the last fifty years.

It's very interesting.

One of my favorite past trends?  Owls from the 1970s.

I have no idea why owls were so popular, but I love finding anything vintage and owl-related.

And I have amazed myself because I haven't yet bought a single owl.  (Though to be honest, the reason I didn't buy most of them was because of the price.)  I've got a couple of themes in progress here at The House of Goodwill, and though birds are one, owls aren't.

I want to buy a cabin somewhere and fill it with vintage owls.  Wouldn't that be cool?

Here are the some of the awesome owls I've seen in the past few months of thrifting:

I love this wall hanging I saw at the consignment store!

This super cool owl lamp/planter was on craigslist for over $100.  Definitely out of my price range, but I just loved it.  I wonder if anyone bought it for that much?

Someone really creative did a great job on this fantastic macrame owl.  Just look at the neat tree branch pieces used as a perch and hanger!

This owl latch hook is so colorful and detailed.  I didn't buy it, but wish I had.

Maybe eventually I'll get to start my owl collection.  Whoo loves owls?  Me!!!
