The Owl Shop...

We went for a walk around the Gothic Quarter in Barcelona and opposite a Starbucks was an adorable shop selling pottery; the majority of the stock featured owls...

The owl on the branch in the photo was 60 euros and I wish I had bought it.... coulda, woulda, shoulda!


This owl in the window display is impressive....


I brought a couple of teeny tiny owls home...


The lilac one looks a little sad don't you think? He's probably freezing...



Now he's found a buddy, I think he will perk up and adjust to the chillier climate.


Whilst in the Gothic Quarter we saw this planter outside a shop and I thought it was a genius idea... and I do love a bit of turquoise!! When I get some energy I will have a go at replicating this.... at the moment though I feel like doing this:


Thank you to everyone who contributed to the lace-making post... I found it really interesting to find out about the lace making gathering and the origins of the lace. Those kind of posts keep me blogging...

Don't forget to enter the giveaway mentioned in the previous post x

  2. Your little owls are so pretty! The little lilac one looks a bit sleepy. Maybe he was up too late?

    I'm terribly jealous! We went to Barcelona a few years ago, and I would love to go back, especially seeing all those pretty owls.

  7. Hi Meme Rose! I chuckled to myself when I read your sentence about the owl from Barcelona being cold in Blighty : ) He's probably suffering from S.A.D. poor thing!

  8. Love love love the owls!! Would've had to have bought the big Daddy in the window even if it meant remortgaging the house to afford him! The lilac one looks more sleepy than sad to me so maybe he should join you and the ducks for 40 winks!!! lol x
