The NEW WOOly Owl - COmforting upcycled Owls with Oganic flax seed and lavender

wOOly Owls 

Filled with love, wool, organic flax seed and soothing herbs

These one-of-kind wOOly Owls were made especially for your little owlets:

Each wOOly Owl carries on his back a sachet of organic flax seed and herbs which can be put into the microwave or freezer to cool or calm your restless baby. Becoming a little pillow that one can rest their little head upon or something to be clutched in the night, wOOly owls take on a personality of their own.

From their filling to their eyes, every part of your wOOly owl is made with natural fibres that one can eventually lay to rest in the compost ~ Back to which it came.

OOpsy Owl wOOly bibs

Prevention of those nasty snack trails from sabotaging your baby's sense of style.........

OOpsy Owl wOOly bibs are hand-crafted from available 100% up-cycled wool and replicate the silhouette of an owl’s wise face (turned upside-down!) A personalized and unique little owl is sewn into the left-hand corner and adds a simple, yet whimsical detail of hand-made charm. Velcro tabs on the back are sew-in strong and are very convenient during mealtimes. One-of-a-kind, your OOpsy Owl wOOly bib was created from available up-cycled 100% wool. The unique thing about up-cycling is that once the reclaimed wool is made into something, it is almost impossible to recreate the exact same item!

OOpsy Owl wOOly bibs have been pre-soaked in a lanolin bath to restore the natural properties in wool such as stain, moisture and wrinkle resistance.

Introducing the addition of bubO buttOns to the wOOly Owl

Just in time for the snowy shawls that will cover the ground this holiday season

~ pin it togeather with a bubo button~

Hand-made from reclaimed items such as a vintage prom dress, reclaimed overall clasps, my mother-in-law's red sewing buttons, and a pink 100% wool blanket from a lady named Helen, bubO buttOns make any shawl, shirt, skirt, suit or sweater look swell.

While making my wedding dress for my upcoming October 2011 fall wedding, (yes I know I have referred to my fiancé John as my husband.......I just like the way husband sounds over fiancé, but I am engaged not yet married – to make it technically correct for those who may have noticed:) I had to create my own bubO buttOns to adorn the cream vintage wedding dress that was given to me by a very dear friend in Victoria. It is an old 1940’s -1950’s wedding dress that fits just above the knee. I am still working on aspects, but overall I love the design and love adding new details.........like the bubO buttOns 

I love the idea that we can make things from things that are just old things to some and new things to others.  These flower buttons and owl pins are just little ways to add a bit of pretty (and/or awesome) to your day and wardrobe.  Just like my vintage wedding dress; the thing about up-cycling, something forgotten becomes something doted upon.

Why bubo you may ask?

Bubo comes from the name of the Eurasian Eagle-Owl (Bubo bubo), a widespread resident in India. It is also named after the mechanical replica of the Owl "Bubo" in "Clash of the Titians."

whOOOOOOO ever thought an overall clasp could look so hot?
