So I looked on ebay, got suckered into a bidding war which I lost. Then the Sunday Times Style magazine said owl were hot this season and I became ever more determined to find one. The OH, whilst somewhat bemused by the item itself, prides himself on being great at winning on ebay so he too became determined that I would have one. It involved him getting up at 3am to win it while I was away. But yesterday it arrived, all the way from Indiana, USA.
I do really like it and keep picking it up and cooing over it. But I'm not entirely sure what I will wear it with - large necklaces aren't my usual thing at all. And I'm thinking that perhaps instead I can find somewhere in the flat to hang it.

It ended up being quite cheap - about £10 for the postage. He's not one of the UO ones though - he's apparently vintage 70s, although there seems to be quite a lot of them about.
Do you wear your heart pendant much?
I thought it looked a little 70s. There's something very... familiar... looking about it, but I can't quite place where/why.
Oh, no - you've just reminded me of the angel wing necklace I wanted from UO. Pooh :-(
PS - cute owl!
Hi,
I've never posted to your blog before but have been reading for a while.
I love the owl, he looks very wise. How long is he? Lately I've been wearing long-ish pendants over plain t-shirts mostly because I haven't found any patterned t-shirts I've liked.
Otherwise I think he'd look cool hanging from a light switch.

Hello K.
His chain is 28 inches long - I've only had a quick try on and I think it would be better either a bit shorter or a bit longer. I've lots of plain tops so should be able to find something suitable to wear him with.
Ooh, thanks Natalie - will go and have a look!
