I think its really cool that owls are resurfacing in Fashion and home decor. They remind me of my maternal grandmother. She had owls in her house, I remember loving them growing up. I don't go overboard with the owl trend, because it is a fad as it was 30 years ago. But I do think a few key pieces is good, if you love them. I bought this umbrella stand. I really love it its great quality and for where I live its economical. You can purchase one here at my store.

Owl Umbrella Stand

What a cute little addition to your home.

Wreath Bird Feeder.

So we made this for the spring. Its really pretty and the birds love it. I was told to add chili flakes to keep the squirrels away. this project is fun rewarding and its simple. Suet can be found at your local nursery, greenhouse, or hardware store and on my online store FilthyGorgeousness.  All you need is

A bundt pan, (rubber)
3 packages of suet,
4tbsp chili flakes
Fresh cranberries

Render the suet cakes in the microwave until completely melted. In bundt pan arrange the cranberries at the bottom ridges. spoon suet over cranberries so they don't move, then pour the rest of the suet in pan. Let the cake sit until completely hardened peel rubber back from pan and hang outside.

I used a rubber bundt pan I'm sure you can use a normal one but I am not completely sure how to get it out.

Enjoy the birds!

Mason Jars are a nostalgic image. I love collecting them. You can use jars for canning, as a vase, or holding your trinkets. Mason jars are a great look for organizing. Try a DIY project and make your own light set.
First, find mason jars ans a string of indoor/outdoor lights.  You’ll also need a drill, a twist bit, and a hole saw bit.

I began my project by finding and marking the centre of my jar lid, and drilled a starter hole with the twist drill bit. Next, I used the hole saw bit to cut a hole to accommodate the top of the light fixture. stick the fixture in the jar lid and then screw the light in. close the jar with the lighted lid.  and tada! you have a unique fixture.
