Thanks for posting the info yellowkitty. They are adorable, but I am truly just maxed out on anything made of MG...between spheres, pedestals and finials. For those getting them, enjoy!

I also have so many of the owls I got last year between LR white ones, other white ones I got on Ebay/other sites. I even bought a few with brown feathers...those I might add to our Fall decor vignettes.

Holy cow! I keep thinking there is nothing else they can do with the MG theme! I wonder if these are made by the same company that made the little new trees this year. I got a set of those and they are better than any MG I've seen of Valerie's. I might have to order them to see.

Hi All..Would love it if you that receive these cute owls would post your review here on this thread. I'm debating about buying them. The measurements are large which I really like, but it looks like in the picture that the light source is that small bulb (like in Valerie's MG pumpkin set and that did not light up the pumpkins enough for me so I sent them back). Do these owls light up brightly? Thanks for your help.

I think these owls are in Jills' show this afternoon at 2PM. I typed in YHJ and these came up!!

I saw similar mercury glass owls on the shelf of the Xmas section at HL today. The bases were large and open enough to fit a battery pack with a string of timer lights. They would look better than VPH's with that ugly yellow flame she uses in them.

Well got them today and they are a nice size but the large one seems a little lighter than the smaller 2. And there is only 1 small light in each. I don't think it is very bright. I got an owl that is the same from Target last fall but, wide opening on the bottom and put a battery op candle in it and it is brighter than these. Let down, wish they had better light in them. May just send back.

I was just going to post the same thing. I did not order these but I did find them at Target last year and TJ Maxx also had them in many colors. You can just pop off the felt piece on the bottom and either put a flameless candle in them or a strand of lights. They will be much brighter than these I know for sure.

Thank you yellowkitty for posting your review. I also saw Jill's video and the owls looked so cute but didn't appear very bright. Such a shame! They would be such a hit with candles in them like the HR gourd and pumpkin. Those are really pretty and well lit!

I got my chocolate owls today. I think they are nice and bright on my mantel. They where painted just right to see the light all the way to the top. I'm very happy with them. Glad i picked the chocolate ones.

Glad you liked your Owls, Susan 19 . The large owl had a big I guess unpainted spot on the side top of his face ! If this was on the back it would have been ok but than one little owl the same way and the light looked funny just on the bottom. Enjoy them!
