Back in Style
Looks like the fave design from my teen years, the OWL, is back in style! The owl design was HUGE in the late 1960's and early 1970's.
We had owls on tooled-leather belts and purses, owl pendant jewelry, owls on paper mache projects, owl screen prints for pillows and wall hangings, upholstery and more. I guess it was the hippy, back-to-nature movement that made these designs popular.

My good friend, Carla is right on top of the trends. She recently gifted me with a shawl pin that has an owl motif. I just love it and I'm so happy to be in style......again!
Thanks, Carla!Labels: Art, Fashion, Friends, yarny stuff

You really ought to have your own design show! Or a page in the LA Times magazine!
I love owls, too! I've got a collection of owl Christmas ornaments. I just love your new shawl pin!
Those owlets are making me swoon! They're so cute. You're so welcome, and you've never been out of style. :)
Cute! I have to admit, I'm a sucker for the resurgent owl trend.
The owls are hot! I am happy to say I am riding that train. Love that owly shawl pin.
Wow, that Kate DAvies sweater is totally cool.
Those top bags are super cute!
Whoooooo would have thought the owls would come back? So cute!
I wonder what it is about the owl specifically that makes it a recurring fashion icon. What ever it is, I am glad they are back. Whimsical and fun, they make me smile!
