I am lovin'.....owls

  

Owls are such amazing creatures...did you know that they have three eyelids?.....amazing isn't it? One is for blinking, one is for sleeping and one is for keeping the eye clean and healthy. I learnt this fact from here and there are nineteen more fun Owly facts.

This owl that watches over our garden day and night was an op shop find probably around 10 years ago.I love those huge orange eyes....

What an amazing photo this one is....I wouldn't imagine the owl staying there like that....

I don't have any OWLY things in my shop unfortunately.....if you or you know of anyone that makes anything 'Owl like' out of natural materials and you/they wholesale them can you please, please contact me...I would love to hear from you.

Do you love owls too and think they are just the cutest.....or do you have another bird or animal fetish?

Hope your weekend, where ever you are has been wonderful. I have been dyeing mohair for dolls hair so will show you that next time.

Take care ♥Jo

teapots flowers, cups and saucers flowers.....and Curly

 I stumbled upon this "Teapots flowers" on facebook last week and was inspired to take a photo of my own. I often use whatever is lying around that is the right size as a vase.....and as our garden is beautifully decorated with happy nasturtiums at the moment and they don't have very long stems, I chose one of my favourite op shop finds....a Royal Doulton cup and saucer with purple flowers......don't you just love those self seeding smiley faces......oh and those great op shop finds?

This morning Sasha went out to feed Curly the sheep to find that he couldn't stand up....we took him straight to the vet and found out that he had a tick. We just went to visit him in hospital and were shocked to see him....he doesn't look very "Curly" at the moment......they had to shave him to see if there were any more ticks. He will stay in over night and hopefully be home with us tomorrow. 

Of course we bought his fleece home but not sure yet what we will do with it.

It is very quiet around here without him ♥♥

I hope you are having a lovely weekend. I am off for a nice cuppa and maybe a tim tam (all the banana bread and anzac cookies the kids made have all gone)
