Lately, I have been noticing many beautiful homes with owls (no, not real owls) in them, let it be an owl figurine, a piece of jewelry or owl wall art that was used or got captured in an arangement.

I have put together this post with some (my favorite) such photos to show that many of us love owls and have made them a part of our lives. I hope you like it!

Friday Freebie!

Owl cake toppers are this week's freebie, by Rock Scissor Paper. Available here to download.

Owl Themed Birthday Party

David and Kallie's daughter Tova's owl themed birthday party had so many beautiful things. Why wouldn't it? Kallie spent several months on planning this wonderful party and the results were more than amazing. Look for yourself.

I love the cake, it's so simple yet so sweet. The cake toppers were made by Kallie herself with wooden doll and an owl which was gifted to her by her grandmother. Isn't the doll's dress just adorable?!

Moving on. The table cover with the gorgeous pattern, the yellow owl vase, lantern candle holders and flowers made it a perfect spot for adults to hang out.

Kallie made those colorful lollipops right from the scratch and those short bread cookies look de-licious! I like the color scheme of peace and pink, which I think are the perfect choices for a girl's party. What girl doesn't like peace or pink? Right?

To my favorite, if I were at the party I'd have squealed in delight at the sight of that custom made giant owl paper pinata. Super cute! I bet Tiva loves owls too because she rocked those darling owl shoes, totally!

Marc Jacobs

The Flight of Fancy Shopper is by no means is an ordinary tote. Why? For two reason. One, the entire scene featuring animals, tree is made out of 10 different shades of leather and accented with brass studs. Two, it costs $428! (hence the name?) I am not sure if I can justify the cost, but I have to say I love it!

While looking for some owl print tees online, I discovered this awesome store Slowmotionshop. They have a great collection of prints in tees, scarves, dresses, bags and jewelry. But, what really, really caught my attention were these panties with owl prints. I think these are cute!
