More Melbourne Owls. I am still very attuned to owls… I’m sure it happens all the time to you too – you become interested in something and suddenly see it everywhere!
This is called perceptual vigilance. This is a theory that suggests you are more motivated to look at messages and pay attention to things that meet your needs. Usually it manifests in more mundane forms (paint colours for your bathroom, signs for dentists and practical sweaters) – but I am happy I become visually obsessed with cute things; like baguettes, headbands and owls.
I saw this handsome pair somewhere in the Melbourne CBD:
Followed by this sneaky fellow in Little Bourke Street:
Then there was the winsome Karen Walker t-shirt I saw for the first time in a Smith Street boutique:
Lastly – not spotted in Melbourne but freaking adorable nonetheless – cozy owl mittens:
Give a hoot, make them yourself – the pattern is free! I’m not sure my knitting is up to scratch, but perhaps I can trick a wayward grandmother into making them for me… Muahaha.

that Karen Walker tshirt, I need it! D’you think its available in Auckland?
cc: I’m not a regular visitor to the Karen Walker stores so haven’t seen it. Give the O’Connell St shop a call – 309 6299 – I’m sure they can help you!
My Granny did just that! I have the cutest pink pair, thanks Granny!
Over the weekend I ventured to an antique shop where the owner had just a silly amount of owl items through out the entire shop and in all kinds of varieties.
Those mittens are the best!
