Owls & More Owls...


It's no secret, I like owls.  I've got a full-blown owl collection going on and I'm trying to embrace the idea of having a collection of anything.  I've stopped myself from buying anything owl-related in the last few months because I don't want it to get too out of hand.  However, while going through my husband's grandmother's estate, I found that she had her own little owl collection.  How could I resist these little beauties?  I absolutely love the little bell.  So despite my best efforts to not look like an owl hoarder, I've managed to increase the number of owls in my house.  
What do you all collect?  Has your collection taken over the house or have you managed to contain it to one room?

  2. I added a couple more owls to my collection after a thrifting adventure this weekend! I try and keep my collections under control though and will only add to them if they are extra special pieces that I haven't seen before!

    1. It's hard to keep them under control sometimes. I think I have a lot more owl stuff that people have given me than stuff I've actually bought!

  3. I think I might start a little animal figurine collection. Perhaps foxes...

  4. love it ! i have swarovski crystal collection that my family started for me when i was 3. it only hasn't gotten out of hand bc my parents have it housed in a display cabinet at their house. You should dedicate a room or a wall to all your owls; it would be the perfect picture backdrop ;)

  5. I love that bell, too! As far as my collections go - they started to get out of hand (owls and deer and paint by numbers), so I have slimmed down all three to my very favorites and now I only buy if it was AMAZING not just an owl, deer, paint by number. The problem is with thrifting and estate saling I see them all the time so there is a constant tempatation. I have switched to a new collection, because I never see them, so it's a challenge and I really have to hunt. This new obsession/colelction are vintage magnifying glass necklaces. I just love them. If you want me to send you owl items when I find them, I would be happy to. :)
