I love a good conspiracy theory...

Did you ever notice the tiny little owl on the 1 dollar bill? If you have read (or seen the movie versions) of any of Dan Brown's novels you have heard of the Illuminati... well apparently according to Illuminatus Mythology the owl is a sign of the Occult and those pesky forefathers of ours loved putting their little symbols everywhere...

So this really isn't about old symbols rather the trend in owls that is still soaring.

Gorgeous fall nights seem fitting to think about owls! Owls are often portrayed as old and wise, so why not add a little wisdom to your life!

The every knowing owl keeps watch over the living room

This large vase also doubles as a great umbrella stand

The wisdom of the owl is not just staying in grow-up rooms... owls are trending high in nurseries these days

And sice the wise old owl has been hanging around for so many hundreds of years, in legends and in fashion there are some amazing vintage owls to had these days...
