Sarah Starr Smith. Lucky Piggies. Papered Together. Today's giveaway is totally in the sweet group. There's just something about this SO DELICATE AND SO WARM <a href="http://www.happyowlglass.com/nightlights.html">GREEN OWL NIGHTLIGHT</a> BY <a href="http://www.happyowlglass.com/home.html">HAPPY OWL GLASSWORKS</a>!!! that is tender and heartwarming. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/5563/3315/1600/779132/happyowl3.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/5563/3315/400/234224/happyowl3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/5563/3315/1600/3046/happyowl4.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/5563/3315/400/947120/happyowl4.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a> The mottled colors. The transparent nature of glass. The very idea behind a nightlight. Everything about this makes me want to hug my kids and make sure they're safe and warm. Each piece is handmade and no two pieces are exactly alike making each one feel even more like a little piece of art. And I love the naturalist vibe. It makes me want to wear one of the (many) animal <a href="http://www.happyowlglass.com/badgemenagerie.html">badges</a> and read Annie Dillard. The artist at <a href="http://www.happyowlglass.com/home.html">Happy Owl</a>, Tracy Bull, comes from a graphic design background — and her work benefits by getting simple shapes and straight lines and beautiful colors.
