Confessions of a Handmade Shopaholic

Sunday, March 1, 2009

It's time again to show off one of my recent purchases of handmade fancy! Owls are so trendy right now, not to mention so cute, so when I was recently redoing my bedroom, I knew I wanted to get one of these super cute, retro-style owls from The Runny Bunny, the shop of ceramic artist, Robin Van Valkenburgh.


In fact, I was lucky enough to get 2 of Robin's lovely little owls!


These little owls look great in my new bedroom, and in my living room! Robin makes these ceramic figures from "very old" ceramic hobby molds, so they have the real authentic vintage feel to them. And for those of you who are a little more adventurous and maybe even a little... off the wall... you have to see Robin's mix and match versions! You can find Grandpa smurf dressed up in mom's Sunday best, the head of a bird on the body of the Easter Bunny, and more fun and wild hybrids! Run over the The Runny Bunny now!
