collecting owls

owls

I collect owls. Owls of different shapes, sizes and materials. Some 3D, some 2D. These six are a few of the small owl figurines in my collection. They all stand between 3-4cm tall.

The second owl on the left is a Japanese Netsuke miniature sculpture. Paul bought this for me for Christmas - but ended up giving it to me early in a state of excitement! I absolutely love it! (The addition of this owl prompted me to write this post).

If, like me, you have a soft-spot for owls, there is a wonderful customisable owl calendar that you can download for free over on My Owl Barn blog. I already have mine printed out and ready for 2011! Thank you Shivani!

I have a slight obsession with owls too. I received a very lovely owl cushion for Christmas from my sister, it makes a great addition to my bed!
