I love owls and owl-y things... especially crafty owl things. Yes, I know, owls are really really popular and there are thousands of pages of them on etsy, but how can I resist... they are so darn cute! On the weekend, my brother-in-law gave us this embroidered wall hanging he nabbed at a garage sale for 50¢! Isn't it a hoot?... what a steal! You can't tell from the picture, but it is about 1 ft' x 2 ft in size. Now I am on the hunt for wall space in our place to hang this awesome piece of owl-y kitschiness.... it might just make its appearance in Bun's room (which is still a work in progress).

I don't love that. I am IN Love with it. Gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteo man what a steal! It looks awesome =D

ReplyDeleteOh so very! I can totally see this as art for the bun's room.
ReplyDeleteToo cute :)
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable! Love it!
ReplyDeletelove it! and good things are even better when they're such a steal (very nice embroidery technique on it too!)
ReplyDeleteThat's one "wise as an owl" purchase!
ReplyDeleteHappy to have found your blog!
What a great price he got that piece for, have fun finding it a home.
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful. I am looking at the work that went into this piece and feel sad that it was sold for so little but am happy your love it so much :) T.
ReplyDeleteLove the stitching! My MeMa was way into all things owl. They were always looking at you. Creepy!
ReplyDeleteI love it! what a find!
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing! And what a deal. Super cool!
ReplyDeleteI think Owls are definitely the animal of choice for a nursery.
ReplyDeleteVery cute! Do you know if Bun is a girl or boy yet?
ReplyDeleteGreat find! I've been collecting garage sale/thrift shop embroidery for a couple years now. I love that piece!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! My daughter would come up with names for each one instantly!
ReplyDelete50 cents!? That thing is awesome, good find. :)
ReplyDeletethanks for stopping by i art u!!!
ReplyDeletecan i just say that i adoooooooooreeeee your etsy shop!!! lovely blog too!!!
j.
You lucky thing, that is amazing!
ReplyDeletethat is awesome--i have an owl crewel piece my grandmother did in the 70s that has similar owls in it--lots of fun and it hangs in my studio/office and makes me smile
ReplyDeleteOr you could sell it for $50 on etsy and put it in bun's college fund :)
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute! I worked in a cubicle hell once, and some anonymous person got a tacky vintage owl on felt painting and started hanging it in random cubicles. You never knew if that would be the day you got it with the owl. It was great!
Adorable and definitely a steal!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful piece of embroidery, you know it must have taken some time to create so 50 cents was indeed a steal!
ReplyDeleteIf the dimensions were more square it would make a lovely pillow too, but it'll also be precious hanging on the wall of the little one's room...sort of like guardian owls watching over baby.
That is so awesome! What a great find. :)
ReplyDeleteeek! LOVE it. so adorable. and what a deal!
ReplyDeletei love all things owl also... although it kind of makes me sad how "trendy" they are now... it is kinda nice to be able to find more cute owl-related stuff now ;)
that's awesome, don't you just love garage sales?! 50 cents, too good of a deal. and it's so cute!
ReplyDeleteOh my! These are adorable.
ReplyDeleteOooh! I'm crazy jealous of your owl wall-hanging! What a steal! :) i've been scrounging around in Van's thrift shops for cheesy/vintage needlepoints, lately - I just started to collect them for my bedroom wall. :) Too fun!
