Last week was national knitting week! There were some lovely pictures and posts flying around facebook including this sweet one on our page:

We have got an increasingly large following on facebook now and it is where I post and share photos of owls and owl related snippets as well as our own products and news. You can find us at https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-English-Owl-Company/208055549290356

We have even more new stock in this week! These candles will help set the tone this Halloween ...

.... though it has been suggested that you should cut the wicks off and keep them as ornaments!

Some time ago I fell in love with some cute little hand painted ceramic owl beads. I have been playing about with what to do with them and have finally made them up into beautiful ear ring and necklace sets. I have matched them up, with the help of some little glass or pearl beads, to the colour and stone associated with birthmonths. So there are 12 sets, one for each month. Each comes with a card detailing the colour, stone and characteristics associated with that month. I am really pleased with them, I think they make a lovely owl gift or a pretty little treat for yourself :)
