Well last week I had a request to show my cat collection which I did with my Halloween cats. I decided to give some equal time this week to some Halloween owls that are pretty keen. Plus it is the Halloween season.
Honeycomb owl, estate sale found, marked Made in U.S.A.
A trio of smaller owls. One spun cotton, one party favor and one handmade. The old handmade one came to me tucked in with an Etsy order. It was missing an eye and did not stand...so I worked some magic on it.
Cardboard owls, marked H.E. Luhrs, estate sale found.
A small metal clicker, estate sale found.
A few Dennison style owl stickers and a pack of bridge tally card with a Halloween owl theme.
This owl, although not Halloween colors is pretty nifty. It is a whistle and when you blow at the base, the wings flip up and the eyes roll about. I found this owl in my mailbox the other day. I had given a friend some vintage photos and he surprised me with this gem in return, leaving it in my mailbox.
This is reproduction mask, but still has that vintage look.
A super paper hat with an honeycomb center to it. I found this on my Kansas trip last year. Marked H.E. Luhrs.
I love this framed owl. I had an old piece of crepe paper that featured an owl and found a large plastic frame that I painted gray. I spray mounted the crepe paper on foam core and framed it.
In case you are curious these owls all roost on the top of my china hutch.
Can you believe this is my 75th collection challenge? Whoooooo has an idea for a future post? Leave me a comment and finish the sentence "Show me your collection of _____." Whoooo knows what I will find in my stash....
Well, I thought I was over my love affair with owls but you have a couple of real treasures! The clicker and the whistle -- so cute. I especially love the honeycomb owl with his tongue hanging out. What a hoot!

Nice! Love what you did with the crepe paper owl.

Fantastic. I wish for 175 more! Mr. Owl that opens the show is wonderfully graphic and would never have thought to stick these in the wire frogs. The details of lovely old toys are so simplistic and genius at the same time. Sometimes the need for electronics can rob the imagination right out of a kid...smiles....Renee

Congratulations on your 75th challenge. I look forward to every one! Holy cow, I officially no longer feel guilty about my "accumulations" and things I accidently collect.
