I picked up a couple of new accessories for the end tables in the living room.
The Owl (a vintage cookie jar)…
…and the Pussycat.

April 7, 2008 at 5:24 pmDo any of your cats spy on you? Our littlest, Michi, has to have us in view at all times. We’ll often catch her peeking around the corner at us. She likes to think she’d hiding but she does a terrible job at it.
I love the owl cookie jar! Did you paint it or did it come white?

April 7, 2008 at 6:44 pmCute! Funny you picked up a pussycat. It’s just like the adorable baby boy I scored with my dining table and ugly chairs. ;)

April 7, 2008 at 6:50 pmJules, it must be the economy. Sellers these days are willing to include ANYTHING to seal the deal. ;)
Holly, I love Oscar! And Amy, it was white already (that’s probably why I was drawn to it).

April 7, 2008 at 7:52 pmI’m blown away you can keep that bird figurine on the table where your cat is. My two cats would have that on the ground or have taken it off as their kill.

April 8, 2008 at 4:38 amDoes the vintage cookie jar have any cookies in it? If so, isn’t Murphy interested?
Have sent you a couple of emails enquiring about you doing some design work on my blog, but haven’t receieved a reply yet. Not sure if this is because you’re not keen (fair enough!) or because you haven’t received them. Am having terrible computer problems at the moment. Sorry to hassle you, but I just love your stuff!

April 8, 2008 at 6:04 amCats are so funny. I wish I could have one, but my husband is horribly allergic. I had cats growing up, and they were always finding the weirdest, most uncomfortable-looking spots to curl up in.
(I want to know your source for dried flowers, too!)

April 8, 2008 at 9:44 amCute owl, and cute kitty cat!
Side note: I like the ad for marthastewart.com much better than the printer ad. Much more on topic with your blog. ^_^
Erin
April 9, 2008 at 12:26 pmOooh I love the owl…cute yet sophisticated! Also where did you get that pillow with the thick stripes?
Making it Lovely
April 10, 2008 at 1:59 pmErin, the pillow was from Anthropologie.
The little pink vase was from Target’s first Global Bazaar collection a couple of years ago.
Lindsay, the couch is Room and Board’s Jasper.
For everyone that wants the dried billy buttons, you can find them at flowermart.com!

October 24, 2008 at 1:47 pmOMG! I have that same cookie jar! I bought it at an antique mall. Only difference is that mine is avocado green and brown! How funny and what a small world!

January 12, 2009 at 12:13 amI love the owl, I have some in my kitchen. There is a great Etsy shop for owls.. http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=16748 I bought a utensil holder and a little box I use for spices, super cute.

January 13, 2009 at 11:24 pmI have the same owl, in brown and black. He sits on my desk and gives me that stare when I’m not working. Apparently they’re quite the collectible. I found one one Ebay going for several hundred (yes hundred) dollars. Figure that out!

February 27, 2009 at 12:39 pmI love the owl, but i must say i like the pussycat the best.
Pets definitely turn a house into (a welcoming) home.
We have two cats… and two dogs as well!
