October Entry with the Snow Owls

Last week I shared a sweet little DIY on my Glitter Snow Owls that I made about 9 years ago, and use each year this last bit in October and early November. Fall is the perfect time for "owling" and I've been intrigued with them and vintage illustrations for years. I remember as a child living in the country, the unmistakable "hoots" before I fell asleep at night. And yes, they're a tad bit spooky so that fits in with this time of year.

These little guys usually hang out on the mantel during their stay,

but this year I thought I'd try them in the Entry, since the hearth room

is a vast dim wasteland for photos. 

It's always so light and bright in the Entry that no matter

 the weather or cloud cover it's easy to get nice pics.

The pumpkin chalkboard print was from Dear Lillie Shop,

several years ago, but it looks to be out of print at this time.

I'm always on the lookout for vintage frames at flea markets,

which make framing projects less expensive.

I painted packaged Fall leaves for this small wreath on the mirror.

You can find that post here.

This year I wanted to use a pumpkin on an urn, but ended up

 with this pottery vase with faux and real dried hydrangeas.

I fell for this adorable orange and black polka-dot wired ribbon.

Just in case you wondered why this little guy

 has been roosting in the vintage flowerpot...

He was the victim of a joke gone wrong.

Trying to be funny, my husband threw a dishtowel at a cobweb 

on the mantel many years ago.

And of course someone fell off and lost his perch and feet.

I remember it in slow motion...

knowing what was about to happen.

Believe me, my husband has not been allowed to forget it!!

Thankfully, these guys are still intact.

Here's last year's Fall to Thanksgiving Entry
