		<description><![CDATA[Add one wondrous wedding to a stylish London pub and mix in an owl wall painting to die for, plus a sprinkling of owl mosaics and smidge of nineteenth-century botanical drawing... The result: this week's owl extravaganza - a true eclectic mix of art and creativity - featuring owls of course - all to banish the January blues. Enjoy! <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=owlsandpears.com&#038;blog=13257099&#038;post=1211&#038;subd=rebekarussell&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
