I seem to have fallen for owls... 🦉

This is the third owl treasure I've shared, who am I to argue with the owl distribution system ?

With those wonderfully wide eyes and that unmistakable retro style, this charming vintage 1970s money box has bags of personality.
Perfect for stashing away your loose change or simply perching on a shelf.

Sometimes the best vintage finds are the ones that make you smile.
Anyone else find vintage has a habit of picking you rather than the other way round ?

It seems our wise old owl wasn't flying solo after all!

Another swooped into the nest and is ready to keep your letters, napkins or treasured notes neatly in place.
But hang on ! how about a change in use, he would also make a great quirky desktop organiser, or stand for your phone or laptop !
However you decide to use him, he's simply a great piece of Mid Century loveliness.

🦉📚 Twitt twoo… is that an owl perched in your novel ?

This vintage brass page clip is the sort of thing you find in a dusty old bookshop, nestled between forgotten poetry and an abandoned train ticket from 1974!
It keeps your place faithfully while you pop the kettle on, or drift off mid-chapter 📖☕

Wonderfully whimsical, and just eccentric enough to make people say,“Now where did you find that?”

A tiny treasure for readers, dreamers and collectors of delightful things.
