a parliament of owls

John Lewis' Christmas department is full of owls :)


It took lots of willpower not to put any in my shopping basket!


These were wobbly, metal owls about ten inches tall.  Walking around the corner I discovered a collection of owls for the Christmas tree...


...the knitted variety (of which a couple did make it into my basket I have to say!!!)...


...and some jolly metal ones, which I have my eye on!!!

There were more cushions in the soft furnishing department.  Some for Christmas...


...but some for every day.  This one I just LoVe :) -


And I don't think I'm the only one!  He was sitting there all alone!


And these are my latest owls :)  I made them for the advent fair at church, and as birthday gifts for my many friends and family with birthdays at this time of year!!!


I'm really pleased with them, and have more felt and fabric to get some more made to sell before Christmas.
