An Owl and a Deer

So as of the weekend I am officially crutch free!!  To celebrate my new found freedom last night I left the house on my own and went shopping.  I'm still moving pretty slowly and am not the most graceful walker out there-- but I can definitely do a lap or two around Home Sense :)

Last night I came home with two little things for the kids rooms.  I have wanted to find a cute white ceramic owl for Emerson's room but haven't been able to find a cheap one.  I really loved these owl bookends from Indigo...  but they were $29.99 plus shipping.  Way too much $.  And now they're sold out.

But last night I found this cute little owl for $4.99.  The color isn't exactly what I want-- kind of bronze-- but I might spray paint it white.  What do you think?


White would look good in her room... I think.


How can I resist throwing in a picture of Eme in her new jeans.  They've made me smile all day :)


And now for Caleb's room.  I've been wanting to get a cardboard deer trophy for his room for the longest time.  How fun would one of these be in his room?  I found a small one at Cardboard Safari for $12-- but after paying for shipping the total was almost $30!!  Way too much for a couple of pieces of cardboard.


But, I found this metal one at Home Sense for $14.  I was a little unsure of what Doug would think of this find-- but he actually liked it!  Caleb calls it his Moose.  Now I've just got to find a spot to hang it...


So that's what I bought on my first post surgery Home Sense shopping trip.  An owl and a deer.  Just call me crazy.

Rich wants to put a real deer head on our wall some day right above the fireplace - I think I'll just encourage the cardboard ones instead. $30 is worth it, don't you think? Love the jeans on Eme.

Definitely paint the owl white. Emerson is growing up so fast - the jeans look good on her. Congrats on getting rid of the crutches.
