Hooty-Hoot! Whooooo Came Up With This Fad??
Hooty hoot! We all know that fads have to originate someplace, right? Well, I'd like world-wide credit for coming up with the fad of OWLS! You can find owl stuff anyplace now! I've even found it at Target & Walmart!
I've had a thing for owls for a few years now. I have a vintage owl cookie jar along with some other vintage-looking owl treasures that I love. I also knew that if I ever had a little girl that I wanted to do her nursery in an owl theme if possible. Think 'cute owls' and not 'creepy, scary owls in the dark forest'. :) There was no such thing at the time; I was going to have to make the nursery decor myself. I think word got out to all the designers about my great owl idea. Around the same time I found out Kennedy's gender from the womb, I received the Pottery Barn Kids catalog. What do you know...... they had an OWL themed nursery! Perfect! Of course, I jumped right on it.
Here's the bedding and plush owls from there:
Since then, there's been a ton of owl stuff out. Target had a lot of owl stuff in the fall. Now, their entire Valentine line is an owl-birdie theme! Check out some of these things:
Owl backpack containing matching sleeping bag (gift from my brother & his family, yay!):
Owl blanket that my friend, Michele, made!:
Owl ornament from Anthropologie!:
Owl clothes (this shirt is from Target):
Owl dishes from Target. This plate says "Owl love you!" in the top-left. How cute is that?
Complete set of owl dishes from Target's Valentine section:
Plush owl from Target's Valentine line:
I also have fun owl pj's. None of these things existed before I mentioned it. So, next time you are out shopping and see OWLS, think of me. I invented this fad!!!!!
