Vintage Shopping Saturday - Macrame Owl Thrifter's Delight!


Saturday is starting to be my thrifty buys sharing day here at Vintage Movement and today I have a great little find to share with you. I've previously posted about the resurrection of macrame in crafting circles and finally I can say I have joined the crew, well, I've bought an item once made by a nifty crew member which is kind of the same thing, well not really, but we'll just go with it for now.. I guess I should really say I've finally started my macrame collection.

This vintage mustard coloured birdie measures about 70cm long and 35cm wide... she sits on a drift wood perch and has chestnut coloured eyes and beak.

Truth be told the hessian style cord used to create this beauty gives me a bit of hay fever but the itchiness is well worth it... haven't shared this info with Mr. B, he was not so keen on "Hootie & the Blow Fish" coming to live with us in the first place and hay fever would be an absolute deal breaker in his eyes, so we shall keep that info to ourselves ;-).

Have a great weekend! x
