Owls are everywhere these days, from printed on Keds to T-shirts. There’s a lucky owl (a Japanese symbol of good fortune) for every style at home, too, from a beautiful Lladro porcelain sculpture ($150; Ross-Simons.com; $150) to the funky decaf plush owl pillow (Decafplush.com; prices vary).

These Crafts are a HOOT

"Love that '70s style? These decorative arts motifs — the whimsical toadstool and the wise old Mr. Hoot — should strike a chord. The recent explosion of DIY arts-and-crafts designers is awash with nostalgia for the flower-power politics of the Marcia and Jan Brady era. Decaf Plush, an Echo Park home accessories collection, uses a vibrant 2007 palette and a sure hand with pinking shears to create cuddly applique pillows ($68), including ones emblazoned with an owl, the most popular bird in design circles this season. Available at Reform School, 4014 Santa Monica Blvd., Silver Lake; (323) 906-8660.— David A. Keeps

DECAF PLUSH

Theme: "Colorful and modern appliquéd floor cushions, pillows, dog beds and baby clothing."

"Murray has a fabulous color sense that she applies to her sophisticated wool felt, velveteen and denim room décor items and kids' clothing. The pieces, vibrant with rich tones and the animal motifs she designs, are childish with a graphic beauty that a parent will appreciate."

"Favorites: The pillow and outfits are for the birds and I mean that in the most flattering way. "

"Colorful, Modern Appliqued Tees & Pillows"

"How can one not be drawn to the colorful, modern felt appliqué at the center of these Decaf Plush tees? And did I mention that Kimberly Murray hand sews each and every one of the patches to her products? Your little ones will not only love to don these tees but also play with the retro-inspired appliques. And if they get their hand on the Decaf Plush pillows, they'll be toting those around rather than blankies."
