Have you noticed that there always seems to be some kind of animal on-trend in the fashion/ decorating world? Remember when everybody was getting tattoos of dolphins on their ankles? Then it was birdies and bird cages everywhere and now? It is the humble owl.
Owls, it would seem, are still totally on-trend... everywhere I turn, an owl monogram has been sewn onto a singlet, or as a mobile dangling over a crib, or as a cushion or a ceramic figurine and so on and so on.
Fern - clearly a natural fashionista - is completely fascinated by them.
Have you ever seen 'Giggle and Hoot' - a childrens' program featured weekday afternoons on ABC2? It features a man (Jimmy Giggle) and his owl (Hoot) and has become a part of our nightly ritual of getting ready for bed. Sadly, when I tuck her in of a night if I say "see you in the morrrning!" she'll reply "hoot hoot!" (if you've seen the program, you'll know what I mean).
... but the real inspiration for this post is my discovery of this gorgeous owl-inspired birthday party. I love everything about it -- the colours, the flowers, the pinata, the decorations... what little girl would not adore this romantic and whimsical party? Unfortunately, I accidently deleted the link to the blog I sourced it from - oops - so if it's yours, please let me know so I can give you the well deserved credit!
Enjoy this bit of eye candy, and have a great Monday!
