Little critters in our home...

So I hate/am afraid of birds in real life but for the last several years, I've been totally obsessed with abstract images of them. The important word there being abstract. There is something so beautiful and modern about the silhouette of a bird. You can see my obsession infused all over our house...

Can you find the bird?

bird figurine I got for $5 at the Chiasso warehouse sale

In the past year though, I've found myself being drawn to a different kind of bird..the owl. It is not beautiful like the bird but there's something about an abstract owl that is just so charming!

I've actually been eyeing this owl tea cup at Anthropologie for a while but for some reason, was unwilling to pay $12 for it. I went recently and it was marked down to $2.99 and it came home with me that day. Every time I reach for a pen, I can't help but smile...why does it look so friendly?

Do you have any critters in your home?

i TOTALLY agree with you on the "abstract" part... and i do agree that owls are extra special.. when you visit sf you'll see!
