Favorite Things Vol. 3

So, I have a new obsession.  It all started one fine day while I was perusing Pinterest.  I came upon this picture of the cutest little cookie jar that I thought I had to have:

After clicking on the picture and getting forwarded to the Anthropologie site and seeing that said cookie jar was $88...that "had to have" turned into "would be nice to have".  Nevertheless, it started some crazy owl obsession within me.  I mean, how cute are they?  Turns out, that owls are like the new Hello Kitty or something.  They're EVERYWHERE.  You can find owl stuff on Etsy, Ebay, Amazon--name it.  Keep in mind now, that anything that even remotely resembles an owl now has been marked up in price.  I mean seriously ONE owl coffee mug for 15 bucks.  You've gotta be kidding me.

Items can be found on eBay and/or Etsy

Anyway, I've practiced a little restraint and have added only a few things to my owl collection.  I'm not going to go overboard because as with any "obsession" of mine....it won't last very long.  I ended up with this:

top - F21, jeans - Old Navy, tights - Target, shoes - Steve Madden

And this:

Owl necklace: ebay


I also have the cutest little owl iPhone case en route to me.  But seeing as I paid a really cheap price for it because it's coming from China (thx eBay), I'm still waiting on it to get here.  So I reckon that's it on the owl paraphernalia.  Well, of course, after that cookie jar goes on sale. :)

Have an awesome weekend!

  1. I didn't know there was an owl revolution afoot. Last month I bought an owl ring from Charming Charlie's, not because of its shape, but because it was the most sparkly bauble in the store. I absolutely adore it.

  5. I'm loving that yellow owl you posted above. My friend bought me a vintage jade green owl necklace w/ gold embellishments from N. Carolina about 6 yrs ago. I like their expressive eyes & significance! *Michi

  6. So I'm not the only one who likes the owls! haha I too am a lover of elephants, but I've been on those for a long time now (I'm obsessed with East Indian culture). For now, it's the owls that rock my socks! :D
