i am not really sure when my obsession really happened well...wait...i do! it was harry potter! i LOVE hedwig oh so much and the thought of owning my very own owl and it sending letters to all my friends was by far the coolest thing i had EVER heard of. my very first owl figurine was from my mom...not exactly sure where it came from but we both named it hedwig...and them from there my obsession grew....
i have always been obsessed with some kind of animal...first it was cats because of the movie gay purr-ee. i also highly recommend this movie...the art is so AMAZING and psychedelic and the songs are great! we named all of cats after the characters in this movie too!
then it became koalas! in the craziest way! this started with a stuffed animal i got as a little girl..it was made from some kind of animal fur and it came as a set, a mommy and baby koala...i carried them E.V.E.R.Y.W.H.E.R.E! when we moved i had my very own room and i was sooo excited to decorate it sooooo....my mom designed a koala stencil and we stenciled a boarder around the room, stenciled the curtains and stenciled my bedspread...i wish i had pictures of my room so that you could get the full effect of how koala krazy i was but i don't :( but i can tell you that it was A LOT of koalas!
so without further ado...(sorry i got really caught up with my other obsessions)....my owl room!!!
all of owls have come from near and far...i really couldn't tell you my favorite as they are all so special to me...but i do LOVE the two macrame owls on either side of the mirror (sorry the pictures are so dark) that the mister found for me at the thrift store! they were the perfect gift and a wonderful surprise too!!
what are your current or past obsessions?
xo,

Aw, this is enough to make me consider an owl obsession too (yup, the Harry Potter books were good at that!) So cool about the thrift shop. I nursed a cow obsession for a while and a dog one too - I guess animals are great to obsess about :)
ReplyDeleteThe owl is indeed the symbol of wisdom. I have a few obsessions, but I am saving them for the blog! Ahahahah.a
ReplyDeleteWow!! That room is incredible!!! I want an owl room!! :D :D although I think my version would be a dragon room 0:)Heeh that cat film looks awesome!!! :D :D

Oh I love it so so much! I found a macrame owl towel holder the other day at the thrift store! I should have bought it for you. :) My obsession is foxes. Someday I shall have a fox room. Someday!
ReplyDeletethat is soooo cool, I LOVE it! What a great room (and I sooo get the obsession thing, I still go through that from time to time, at the moment it's vintage jigsaws). Love the fabric picture on the windowsill most. xx
ReplyDeletePS the UK catalogue Very.co.uk have a Hedwig costume for kids right now, very cute!
ha! I love the owl room. Especially because a lot of owl stuff is usually really good vintage :)
ReplyDeleteI had a pink Koala bear stuffed animal that I carried around when I was little for awhile.. his name was Oscar or Gary or something strange for a little girl to name their toy haha.
I used to collect/obsess over beanie babies. I still have all of them at my parents' house!
oh my! that's a lotta owls! i bet Melissa from OhMyDarling blog would DIE over this. (she loves the owls too) :P
ReplyDeletei have a little owl collection. it's definitely one of my favorites. the hubbers and i have a mutual love of trees as well, so that's a big theme in our house too.
wow that is a lot of owls, I am jealous. I used to have an obsession with koalas as well when I was much younger...did you ever watch Nick Jr.? Well there was this show on back in the day called Noozles I think...this girl would rub her nose against her stuffed koala and it would came to life...amazing
ReplyDeleteowls are beautiful! my next tattoo would be of one. i would say my current obsession is books. i can't get enough of them!
ReplyDeleteI love your owl room! I love all of the owls in the window seal.
ReplyDeleteI'm currently obsessed with floral fabric, cashews, and the band Owl City.
So as a Harry Potter fan, are you pumped for the movie to come out!? :)
I recognize one of those framed owls! Love the owl room.
ReplyDeleteHooray for a peek into your owl room! Loooooving it, of course!
