Wednesday Perk - It's a Hoot!

If you've been following this blog for a couple of months you may have noticed from the posts here and here that I (H) have a little bit of an obsession with owls.  I don't even know where this came from, but as I look around for design inspiration I find myself drawn to items featuring these cute little birds.  So I figure I might as well embrace the trend, so here are some fun owl motif items that I am currently loving and trying to resist buying.

Ruche Twisted Owl Ring

My love of owls is not limited just to home decor items.  This sweet little ring is a cute way to add a bit of whimsy to perhaps a casual Friday look or for the weekend.

Quiet Owl Indie Print

 I love how this print combines the owl with a geometric print.  After finally outfitting my home office with artwork I'm ready to start looking for some pieces to take into my office for my full time job.  I know having this guy to turn and look at during stressful moments would surely brighten my day.

Calico Owl Knob

Speaking of offices, how about this little drawer knob.  Switching out a plain, boring knob with this guy would add a fun bit of character without being over the top. 

A Real Hoot Canister

Oh my!  That was my initial reaction when I saw this little canister.  It's just so adorable with the bright colors and the cute wink!  Anthropologie appears to have entire series of owl canisters and jars, unfortunately my kitchen is currently at capacity leaving no room for me to add any for myself.

Mod Cloth Owl Say Necklace

This necklace is so lovely with the enameled look and beautiful colors, it would be a great way to add some interest to a basic outfit.

The owl theme has been trendy for a while now, and if you follow animal motif trends like I do it looks like foxes will be the next big one so don't be surprised if you start seeing some on the blog down the road.  What's your favorite woodland animal trend?
