Over the years I have been the recipient of some lovely items from blogging friends. Blogging has changed over the last ELEVEN years, and while I love the new social media platforms, I remember the old days with great fondness.
Old friends may remember when I received this wonderful owl made by Laurie of Old School Acres. I have carefully guarded it over the years after I blogged about it here in 2008, keeping it from harm and by harm I mean DUST. Because I AM THE WORST.
He's still in his pristine condition. I've looked for good display solutions over the years and today I figured I'd hit on pay dirt with this cute cupcake stand at the Dollar Spot at Target. It's got scallopy edges, and for those that can resist those cute scallops there's plain ones. And then also larger cake stands. Just an FYI.
I've been looking for a cute cupcake stand figuring if I could find a nice dome, my owl could stand on it and be safe.
After months of fruitless searching for domes, enter my bright idea, the wide mouth mason jar.
Ooops. Maybe not my best idea.
Hope you have a nice week friends. I appreciate your visits! xo
I give it a 10 for creativity. But can you say squeezed in. Love the owl, it is the first time I've seen him and he is very cute.
ReplyDeleteThat is so funny...I have a most precious bunny, home made, that I have treasured the same way...she needs a Mason jar!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly the kind of blogpost I miss. Love your owl, remember it and Laurie and your 'vault' for special items.
ReplyDeleteI so get it Pam....the dust thing. I am lucky enough to have a regular housekeeper. The only downside is that after 25 yrs she rearranges things in her taste...lol. This owl is adorable and your idea well worth trying.��
ReplyDeleteHis eyes are the perfect look for his current predicament, lol!
ReplyDeleteI think you are on the right track but the owl somehow looks distressed under the mason jar. *grins*
ReplyDeleteI LOVE IT TOO FUNNY
ReplyDeleteI miss the camaraderie of the olden, golden days of blogging. :D Such fun pics! Groups of friends! Comments galore! Complete sentences!
ReplyDeleteNow it's post a pic and go! Much easier but I miss the stories. And it's not all bad for I have still made new friends. :)
I love to stop and visit here.
Love the idea! I guess I should have made her just a little bit smaller. Miss you, Pam <3
ReplyDeleteOh dear little owl looks a little claustrophobic but I do love your idea so much!!
ReplyDeleteI love this so much!!
ReplyDeleteHelp! Let me outta here! And I just bought framed prints of owls under glass domes for my living room!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cutie - and love that he sings :)! Your little cake stand is so sweet!
ReplyDeleteSo funny!! It will keep the dust off your lovely little owl for sure! Love the cake stand.

He looks like he is in jail! LOL
ReplyDeleteHow darn cute is he?! :-)
ReplyDeleteI do social media because I have to...but my blog is my first love, a way to connect, really connect, with others. I'm so glad you blog. xx
He looks like he is thinking "What did I do to be put in here?"
ReplyDeletebut hey, you only fail when you quit trying.
