     It is amazing how many people love owls.  Back in September, I wrote an Ode to Owls that was very popular.  You can check it out here.  Because so many people have begun to recognize that our brand, 3 Winks Design, has owls in the logo, I have been receiving some little thoughtful gifts of owls in various forms!  I love it! I thought I would share a few with you, and I realized that I haven't shared the recipe for the owl cookies yet!  So, I will include that today as well. They are super tasty and fun!
     First, here are the new things that I have been gifted for my collection!  I will try to show you where you can find similar items, but some of mine are pretty unique!  Click on these pictures to find out more about them.
At a recent family gathering, my sister-in-law brought me this ceramic dish/planter with owls on a log. It looks so cute on top of my bookcase! I haven't decided what to put in it, but for now I'm just enjoying it the way it is. Thanks, Ada!
My friend, (and Lindsey's mother-in-law), Joanne, sent me this adorable mug! The owls are so similar to the ones I draw and our logo owls that Maddy drew. They are perfect for our brand! It is too hot for a Hot Cocoa Bomb right now, but as soon as possible, I will be making some in it! For now, cold milk will have to do. Thanks, Joanne! You are so thoughtful!
My friend, Leslie, gave me this Vintage Owl Pin from Avon. It was a sweet surprise! It had emerald colored eyes. I love the cool, retro vibe!
It used to be filled with a cream perfume. Leslie thought I might use it like a locket! I love that idea. Thanks, Leslie!
     Here are a few similar things I've found if you are interested in owls like these for your own collection or as a gift to an owl lover that you know.  Just click on the picture to order.
This owl necklace isn't a locket, but look how cool it is! It glows in the dark.  I can think of a few people who would love this!  And, below it is an owl locket with a very similar in look to my pin above.
      The owls on these mugs also remind me of our logo.
     I couldn't resist showing you these 3 pewter owls sitting on an amethyst base.  Such a statement piece.
Now!  On to the cookies!  
    I found these cute owl cookies on the Whoot and thought they were adorable.  The only thing was that they made theirs with a peanut butter cookie and I decided to make mine with a sugar cookie.  I used this recipe:
Keren's Cookies
     Chill the dough before you do your decorating.  Here is what you will need
  •  Chocolate chips
  •  Sliced and slivered almonds
  • cocoa powder
  • round cookie cutter, about 3-4 inches in diameter.
     Click on the pictures in the gallery to see how to decorate them.
Use a round cookie cutter or glass to cut circles from the dough. Use the edge of the cutter to mark the wing shapes, then use a knife to cross hatch the lines on the wings. Form to balls of dough to make the eyeballs.
Push chocolate chips into each eyeball to make the pupils.
A sliced almond forms the beak and slivered almonds form the talons of the owl.
Before baking, bush the wings with dry cocoa powder to color them.
Bake as the recipe directs. Soon you will have a parliament of owl cookies!
     These would go so well with the mug full of milk that I mentioned earlier!
​     Hope your day's a "HOOT", 
     Helen

These are great, Helen! I love owl everything. I even have ceramic owl salt and pepper shakers (who would have thought??). The pewter owls on amethyst are my fave. These cookies would be great for an owl themed party. Maybe baby's first??
Found you on #fandayfriday!
