I'M CRUSHING ON FOX & BRIE

 bow ties by Fox & Brie

Okay, so has anyone else noticed that all their fave bloggers have bearded hubbies?  Is this some sort of cool blogger prerequisite?  Not that I'm trying to be a cool blogger (cause it's so not cool to try to be cool, of course), but I made the mistake of telling my husband that his 3 day old stubble growth was kinda cute (in an Arrow sort of way), and now I've been cursed with nearly a 10 month run of beardedness.  I mean, I don't mean to diss you cool bloggers and your ubercool bearded hubbies, but my hubby's hairiness is more crazy lumberjack-ish than hipster cool.  Okay, I'm rambling about the beard.  Just don't mind me if I get weepy when I see one of those men's razor commercials with all those smooth faced men - ohhhhhh!

Anyways, I'm totally off topic!  This post was supposed to be all about my proclamation of love for Fox & Brie's most excellent bow ties!  Aren't they cute?  Yes they are.  And so cute, that they might even make my crazy lumberjack husband look handsome.  Yup, cause you know, bow ties and beards go together like pb & jelly.  Never thought I'd say that.  Oh goodness gracious.  Did I mention I have the flu?  That may explain my weirdness today.

OWL LOVE TWENTYTHIRTEEN


It's owl calendar making time!  Once again, Shivani from My Owl Barn has kindly asked me to mention their 3rd annual owl lover calendar launch.  This year, their free downloadable/printable owl art calendar is featuring 43 amazing artists.  And and usual, you can customize your calendar with your choice of owl art for every month.  Or, if you're aren't as picky as me, the notorious vending machine starer, you can simply download their pre-made version.  Enjoy guys, and thanks again to the lovely folks at My Owl Barn for yet another beautiful calendar!

OWL LOVE TWENTYTWELVE


Just a teensy weensy little bit late in the year for this mention, but here's the link to this year's free download for your very own Owl Lover Calendar. The lovely folks over at My Owl Barn kindly reminded me about this year's calendar launch back in November, so five months later all I can say is, "whoopsies, MY BAD."

For those of you who have no idea what I'm jabbering about, this is My Owl Barn's second year of offering a free downloadable/printable owl art calendar on their super cool owl-full blog. And this year, you can choose from 45 amazing prints (sweetly provided by owl-loving artists from all over the world) to customize each month of your calendar! Oooh fun!

My only hope is that you don't spend the ridiculous amount of time I did picking out your own 12 favorite...
