Owltastic In the spirit of the new site, I thought I’d share some of my top owly finds with you lovely people. If you find any owltastic merchandise, art, etc. in the course of your internet searching, I’d love it if you posted it on Twitter with the hashtag #owltastic. I’ll probably post it on here, along with a credit and a virtual hug.
Hitachino Nest Beer

I don’t drink, but if I did you can bet your sweet ass I’d be wasted off Hitachino Nest Beer right now. I might have to pick some up at Whole Foods just to stare at it. Look at that adorable red owl! Thanks to the talented Tyler Thompson for tweeting this my way.
Vintage Childrens Book – Owl at Home
I was just going to post this book and talk about how cute it is, but I accidentally bought it. Which is risky, because my boyfriend has warned me that the eco-system of our apartment has become infested with owls, and that if any more show up they’re going to drive him out. Maybe I can hide it under my mattress and stare at the adorable illustrations in secret. I may have a problem.
Hideous Owl T-Shirts
These are so awful that I feel like I have to have them. Maybe even make a quilt out of them. Tie dye + brown + owl collage = YES, PLEASE.
I Will Eat Your Young
While I would be nervous about wearing this T-shirt around children who can read, I still love it for many reasons. It celebrates the fact that in many cultures owls are believed to be harbingers of death, which my inner 14-year old goth loves. Also, the illustration is so painfully cute that you can almost forgive the terror-inducing message. Much gratitude to Mr. Social Scientific for sending this gem my way.

I have a great vintage owl crayon holder. I think you should see/have it.
do you have a wish list, perhaps on amazon or some other site?
you never know, perhaps a reader or two might chip in to your collection?
Love the label design of that beer.
Mmmm… owl beer
That’s one of my favorite beers. So good.
That shirt is fantastic!

Oh man if they had the “I will eat your young” shirt in black I’d totally buy one…
Meagan, luckily I drink ( a lot
) and will gladly indulge in the yummy owl beer for you, glad you liked it.
I assume you’re using http://ow.ly/ to shorten your urls!
Wow, gorgeous owly things. If I see any in the future I’ll let you know. I collect camel things myself.
By “harbinger of death”, were you, perchance, referencing Battlestar Galactica?
love your owl collection – may i make one more suggestion http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25126254

I had the hitachino beer, the white and the espresso stout. The white was pretty good, lots of orange peel. The stout was too strong, but still smooth.
