Happy Owl Ornament << Prev page


The story behind this owl ornament is a happy one. It begins with women in rural Kyrgyztan and an amazing enterprise called Craftspring. Craftspring's mission is both social and cultural — to keep ancient art traditions alive while helping women in need. All of the wool used to make these irresistible ornaments is purchased from local herders.

 Women then gather together to learn the age-old felting and hand-stitching methods first developed by Kyrgyz nomads. Once they master these skills, many of the women take the sewing and felting home so they can be with their children.

These women, who arrive feeling powerless as single mothers from poor families (some have been physically abused), are given a new lease on life, gaining financial autonomy and respect. Their culture's art lives on, and we can be part of the journey by bringing home one of these darling owls (I love the colorful beads on the chest).

Legend has it that an owl ornament on your tree brings you wisdom and happiness in the New Year. I'm keeping mine out all year round!
