Friday Friends: ALL The Owls

I have a lot of owls. I love them, I can't get enough of them.
When I visited my grandmother's house when I was young I always admired a mirror in my aunt's old bedroom. I don't actually know who the mirror belongs to, but I do hope one day it will be mine. The mirror has a big purple owl painted on it. You can still see the mirror, but the majority of the space is occupied by that big-eyed owl.

Since then, owls sort of crept out of popularity. I still remember loving that mirror, and looking at it in the bedroom every time I would visit.

Recently the surge of owl popularity has risen again, and I eagerly acquired every owl item that I fancied. I've since gotten a lot of owls in my possession, but of course not nearly enough. I got lucky to find that Garden Works was in an owl sort of mood this past Christmas, and I quickly stocked up on lots of fun owl friends.

Here are photos of all the owls I own (minus a few if I've forgotten them) numbered to show where they came from.

1. Little Owlets (Kiwi on the left, me on the right) from Urban Outfitters. These were bought online. They came in identical boxes, so you'd never know which owl you got until you opened it! When Kiwi left at the end of August last year, he took me (the green one) with him as a little reminder. I got to keep the gray one. They kept us company while we were apart.
2. Door hanging owl! Brought home for me from Hawaii by my very good friend (who knows about my owl obsession)
3. Owl catch-all. Another Urban Outfitters purchase. I went a little crazy one day and bought a lot of things online for when I moved out on my own.
4. Tiny owl necklace from Suzi Shier. My mom bought me this one.
5. Odd gold owl figure. Thrifted.
6. One of the owls from Garden Works sold as Christmas decor. I had a woodland tree theme, and stuck owls, butterflies, twigs and birds in the branches. This fluffy guy was one of them.
7. Twig owl, another one from Garden Works. He sits in my peace lily for now.
8. Rhinestone owl necklace from Forever 21. Kiwi bought this for me.
9. Two small porcelain owl place card holders from Garden Works (on sale after Christmas.)
10. Owl ring from Urban Outfitters. The first thing I ever bought from them.
11. Owl piggy-bank from Urban Outfitters. Love the colour most of all!
12. Sleepy owl painted on a log cut from a Christmas tree. I painted it myself.
13. Gold owl necklace on a long chain from Suzy Shier, another one my mom bought me.
14. White fluffy owl from Garden Works (also part of my tree decor.)
15. Three owl necklace. Gorgeous sparkly owls! This one, Kiwi's sister bought for me and mailed it from New Zealand. I get thousands of compliments on it.
16. Big hollow owl necklace with really long chain, from Urban Planet. 
17. Strange owl carving out of soapstone, it looks like. Thrifted.

Hopefully more owls will get to be added to my collection. I'm thinking of taking up macrame just for the owl benefits.
