They're A Hoot

What always makes me smile?  The owl of course.  It seems like no matter what you do with them, even if you make them look angry, they are still cute.

Well, I do remember one little owl we called Freaky Owl because he really was ugly, the poor little thing.  If you weren't expecting to see him, he could really freak you out.  In fact he was so ugly you just had to love him.  So, I guess even ugly owls are still adorable in their own way.

Anyway, I did my search on Etsy, Artfire, and Zibbet and came up with some real cuties.

So take a tour of the Owl Gallery and meet some very clever artists:

What's It?

If I asked you what this is, would you know?

What about this one?

Okay, this one is a dead giveaway!

These are my latest obsession, vintage eyeglass holders. 

You don't see them too often, it's difficult to find any research material on them, so I had to wing it.  In all my travels, I've only found two more that weren't vintage but handmade in a ceramic class or something.  Don't get me wrong, they were cute, but just not quite me, the vintage ones are!

BOLO for poodles!  I want a gray and a pink poodle for my collection!  Must be vintage!  Most likely from Chadwick and marked Japan (NOT Made in Japan which dates them before the late sixties).

HAND!
