Owl String Holder and Cake Stand

Owl String Holder

Quality owl string holder is hard to come by, so when I came across this ceramic twine holder at West Elm I instantly knew I had to share it with you here. It'll look lovely sitting on your desk or mounted on the wall for ease of use. The mounting kit is included.

Becky Kemp: Bandit Owl

You must have seen Becky Kemp's work on other blogs especially her beautiful brooches and nesting dolls. 

When I started to browse her products under the sold category on her online store, guess what I discovered - this 'Blue Bandit' owl figurines. I am in love! It's handcrafted from air dry clay and meticulously hand painted and varnished to a smooth finish. Becky's store will reopen soon and I can't wait what'll she have for us this time.

Printable Animal Valentine Boxes

I just recently stumbled across these printable valentine boxes on One Charming Party. There are three adorable designs - an owl, a monkey and kitten - that you can download the template for and make your own box. Each box comes with a sweet little saying on the back and some space to add your signature. These boxes are great to gift homemade cookies, chocolates or anything else that'll fit in there. Download them for free from here.

PineStack

PineStack is a modern take on a traditional stacking toy by Michel Svane Knap. The target group for this toy is children between 18 to 36 months old. Michel designed this toy for his Master's project at Kolding School of Design Denmark, while the contemporary twist is beautiful the redesign doesn't compromises on the educational and fun element of the toy. 

PineStack consists of pine trunks/cones in shades on green and yellow that double as lid while not in use making the toy easy to store and carry around. There are four animals including an owl that live on the tree. 

I am not sure if this design will be produced in a form of an actual product but this is something worth keep an eye out for. Michel Svane Knap has a portfolio on Behance where you can find his other amazing designs.
