I really do have a thing for patchwork quilts at the moment and my love of owls is well-documented, so imagine my delight when I spotted this while trawling Etsy for a birthday present.

What I read from other bloggers astounds, inspires and amazes me. On more than one occasion it has floored me.

I’ve never been shy about proclaiming my love for all things owl-ish, but I must confess to a more general obsession with bird-based goodies.

ABC Poster by Enna
September 10, 2009 by Kat · Leave a Comment
Are we alone in our ABC obsession? I’m pretty sure that the alphabet has to be an almost Universal favourite in the nursery. I am absolutely in love with this one from German artist Enna. Being German means that some of the pictures aren’t quite where you’d expect them to be which I think makes [...]

It is well known we’re soft on alphabets around these parts and this set from Etsy seller MiChiMa has long been top of my lust list. I think they look so much cooler than the old plastic versions.
