I’ve had a vintage owl cookie jar for a few years, and I move it around the house from time to time. Sometimes it’s in the living room on an end table, sometimes it’s on the buffet in the dining room. Other times it’s hanging out in my office or in the library upstairs. (It gets around.) Oddly enough, it’s rarely in the kitchen and has never been used for cookies.
If you want a little owl friend of your own, you can usually find some quirky old ones on eBay, but it can be hard to find a simple, white one. I noticed this new one though, and I think it’s a good stand-in for a vintage find. Maybe it could even fulfill its intended purpose and safeguard your cookies?

He’s cute but your original is awesome! Very Adler-esque.
Or how about an owl vase?

Love both of them! I can’t choose which one i like more or less. They both have their own looks!
I saw that in the catalog and showed it to my son, who loves owls. He said, “Can I have it?” :)
Love your original. And what a lovely blog you have…pun intended ;)
Cute and actually affordable too, my two favorite things!
“Hoo ate all the cookies” – Sorry, had to!
I was drawn into this post because of the owl! So damn cute. I’m in Kyoto Japan right now and there are cute owl statues and other owl stuff everywhere! It’s hard to resist buying them all.
Good find!
I have long admired your owl jar, and this new one is pretty cute! Gosh, they have lots of cute owl stuff right now, don’t they? It makes me want to go on a shopping spree for my kitchen!
Love that your owl gets around – I’ve got a few items that I move all over the house. It’s fun to try them out in different spots.
