Do any of you remember when owls were popular? Maybe the seventies and eighties? Well, it seems that owls have made a comeback. Any time I buy something for my booth that has an owl theme, it usually sells pretty quickly. Today I went by the flea market, and an owl pendant necklace that I just put out had sold!
These brass owl bookends were photographed to go on the Facebook page for the Flea Market. Later I decided to go back and purchase them for my daughter. She has decided to collect owls, and acquired quite a few. They were a great buy at only 5 bucks!
Guess this proves that if you keep something long enough, it will finally come back in style!
Thanks for stopping by today!

Good morning Diane, I do remember when owls were all the thing. My MIL had them everywhere. Her entire bathroom was owls with her rugs, towels,etc. I have an owl that I kept all the years by Avon. It was a large needlepoint and bargello kit. It took me seven years to finish it. HA! It is hanging in the cabin.
I think the owl bookends are awesome. Nicer then most and I know your daughter loves them. You are a terrific mom.
Have a wonderful day.
Hugs, Jeanne
It is a unique piece of art a crafty one also useful she will like it. Mine is ready...

Yes, I do remember owls. I know I had several coloring kits that featured them. They were popular in home decor. Funny how things are new again.

It is funny to watch trends recycle isn't it.
That is a very cute owl, Diane! I noticed at Christmas that there were a lot of owl things around this year. I'm always on the hunt because one of my best friends is a Chi O, and that is their symbol. I bought her the cutest ornament at Marshall's, and I found a pair of owl flannel PJ's at K-Mart.

I totally would have bought them for five bucks! What a great deal. You're right -- we would have an AMAZING time treasure hunting together, but we'd give each other some stiff competition! :-)
The brass owl bookend you bought your daughter were a great buy at that price, Diane!
Those are beautiful, Diane, and I know Kelli was thrilled with them. Great price, too!
Those owl bookends look fabulous. Your daughter will love them for sure!..Christine
Hi Diane! So glad you stopped by so I could find your blog! I'd love to join your party! I pretty much only ever buy second hand *winks* And a picture IS worth a thousand words. Thanks for hosting! Vanna
P.S. Forgot to add those owls are darling! And owls are HOT right now! V
