Jean jackets and floral dresses
You guys, dare I say it? Yes. I dare. SPRING IS HERE! Given, it’s still unpleasantly cold (say, upper 40’s and damp;t he dampness makes it unpleasant) in the morning, but it has been full-on sunny and sixty in the afternoon, and I love it! It’s making me long for summer already, though. Is that bad? I got this jean jacket the other day after seeing a few different lovely bloggers sporting jean jackets, and I’m so glad I did! I don’t even know how to describe what my spring style is going towards– floral, maybe more modern, with lots of tied-up shirts and high-waisted skirts. It’s definitely changing, but…

Lovebirds
You guys, I just realized that I can blog from my phone. So long as I’m either blogging pictures from my phone or have previously uploaded them somewhere, I can use the (free!!!) WordPress app to blog right on my mobile device. I mean, awesome or what!? I am seriously pumped that I can blog with one finger on my couch while snacking on an apple that I shouted at in German a few minutes ago for falling on the floor. Because yeah. That’s what I’m doing. Don’t worry, I washed the apple. And the German thing wasn’t as epic as it sounds. I only know how to say yes/no,…

Owl and the Boy Vintage
I am so, so, SO excited to tell you that my online retro/vintage shop is FINALLY open! I’m selling some great stuff for spring and summer, and I’ve found TONS of really fantastic skirts to post in the future, so hop on over and see if there’s anything you like! Here are some of the fun fabrics involved: Please be aware that while I am very willing to ship outside the US, I’m not sure of the exact shipping costs yet so I may have to work with you via paypal on shipping cost once I can take it to the post office and get it weighed! Feel free…

Spring Brights
I was doing my makeup when my husband got dressed this morning, and although I knew he was wearing yellow pants and a blue coat, it didn’t really dawn on me that we would match when I got dressed. I only wore this dress because I was trying out some new bright eyeshadow, and the bright dress seemed fitting. But I think that’s how it is, living with someone. Before Mr. Owl, my mom and I would almost always come out of our rooms dressed in the same colors, and it seemed often when my out-of-state friends would come to stay for a week, we’d always end up matching. I…

Grays Harbor Lighthouse
On Saturday, I surprised my husband with some donuts and coffee for breakfast– we woke up around seven am and laid in bed for a while, and then I told him to stay in bed until I got back and I journeyed off to the store while he lay there wondering where the heck I’d gone– and then I asked if he wanted to come away with me. I’d been considering surprising him with an adventure all week but I didn’t decide to actually do it until that morning. So we went off to Westport, where the tallest lighthouse in Washington can be found. My family has gone to Grays…
