I have always had an interest in Owls as long as I can remember. When I was a little girl I would visit a lady a neighbor a few houses away from mine who had a collection of owl figurines. I always wanted a collection like hers. So I started My own a few years back. Just wanted to share a few of mine.

Hey Melanie, how are you? Sorry I haven't been by to see you. I have some more buttons for you and, now that I know you like Owls, I have one that was hand carved for me by a buddy at work years ago. I'm still chasing barber poles and neon signs and everything else that I see.
I'm glad to see you are still enjoying your collectibles. You have some really cool stuff.
My daughter-in-law collects owls and I love to get them for her- such a fun collectible! Yours are awesome!
