Hooray! It's Blogtober! I don't remember how or when Blogtober started, but the challenge is 1 blog post per day for the whole month of October. We'll see.I thought I'd start things off with a question about trends.
We all know that owls have been trendy for awhile, as have deer, rainclouds and a bunch of other little things. Back in the day when I was at school, dolphins were super trendy. And remember the moustache phase on Etsy?
I want to know: what do you think (or hope) will be the next big designy trend? What is your prediction for Etsy's new mega must-have?
Thanks! See you tomorrow!
Oh and P.S. - Cath from Chunky Chooky's having a giveaway too!
The giveaway is now over!
And! Oops! I didn't announce my giveaway winner! Let me random number generate...
The winner is Ottomania! Hurrah!
And I would love to thank everyone for entering my giveaway and leaving a comment, I loved reading all the predictions about the next big trend.

mmm. Next big trend, I'm not really a trend follower. But I do adore Butterflies or Birds. But the owls and deers are so cute, it would be hard to have to say goodbye to them.
Have a great day

i hope little giraffes make it big :) i just love their spots and cute little stumpy things on their heads x
Yeah for Blogtober!
I've been an owl-lover since I was the littlest pea and am hoping that feathers will be the next thing to make a resurgence.

Oooh, love the owls! Bunnies will be the next owls I think. Well, at least I hope so!
After the response I have received from my new Hot Air Balloons Tags maybe they will be the new Owls!
I am very partial to owls though and will miss them if they disappear completely.

Was it Lino Forrest or the Lark blog that suggested that foxes would be 'the next big thing'? Whoever it was, they weren't far off the mark!
My prediction, and hope, is bicycles! Happy blogtober!
I do love my owls and foxes and deer, but a little part of me hopes some of the less-loved animals might get a look in as the next big thing. You know, like tortoises, or bats.
I see retro roller skates with wings on the sides making a return.
I think the next big thing should be Moonface from the Magic Faraway Tree!
im thinking definately foxes, but id love to see those long slender vintage cats make it big, yes.
I thought Donkeys were supposed to be the next big thing, but now I'm hoping that owls might hang around a bit because I've just drawn one!
Cute and wise owl. I would love to see seahorses as the next big trend. We will have to wait and see.

I am with Curlypops, I reckon donkeys for sure.
love your owl fabric Penny.
I remember when I was a teenager there where elephants in any shapes, colors, forms and sizes very trendy. I like elephants!
I hope sloths are the next big thing!

Owls will around for a while longer I think. Then foxes. I would like it to be foxes.

Never heard of Blogtober. ha! That's funny.
I noticed foxes were big a while back...but I don't know if that stuck.
I still see foxes and birds everywhere. I still cheer for Owls, but maybe we can get excited by snails and tortoises!
Dragonflies ... although I am sure they have has their time! I am sure frogs might just hop back into the limelight too!! I don;t think owls are going anywhere yet though.

Oh the next big thing you ask.
Easy.
Wombats.
I think it will be foxes. but I would really love to see it be giraffes, I just love them
Not sure if its the next big thing or already a full blown trend, but I am loving the whole Babushka theme that seems to be around at the moment!
Russian dolls are certainly trying but the fabric is so expensive.... I hope elephants get to hold the crown next x
I'd love to see something totally boyish take off next, like zombies, monster trucks or rodeo bulls. (all these things my 3 boys love lol)
I think things like spots & stars are always in style but I seem to be seeing more florals (as we come into summer), cute animals doing human things and all things vintage!
My newest obsession is owls, not sure why. But I love them, and this is sooooo cute!

I think hedgehogs.
Maybe rabbits.
I want it to be little fat hedgehogs :)
my nine year old is OBSESSED with all things owl and she would adore to win your gorgeous giveaway!
I think teapots need their day in the spotlight. Or maybe that's just because it is Sunday breakfast time.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say... pigs, they are really sooo cute!
The next trend could very well be robots, and it would all have been kicked off by Vic at punkysmamma!
Happy Blogtober!
hmm, the next big trend will be tartan. I am sure.!
Oh yes, I am so taken by the owl trend - I love them! But, I think we're on the verge of a plaid trend - it's appearing in a number of fabric lines at the moment and I imagine we'll soon see it in summer clothes. Also argyle - we're due for a revisit of that classic!
The next trend I'd like to see is hedgehogs. Love those wee critters.
I think Nessie would make for a fun trend. Thanks for a chance at your cute owly giveaway.
Oh gods, I love owls, this is too cute!
As for the next big trend... Anything about moons and starts would be a hit for me!
Kisses from Nydia.
Hedgehogs, They are cute but prinkly. What is not to love about them!
Happy Blogtoberfest!
oh yes dolphins were big weren't they...why don't we bring them back...although...I did go to a baby shower earlier this year where the mother didn't know the gender of the baby and there were a lot of lion products? cute lions maybe?
ha happy blogtober to you and good luck!

but I love owls! But I love pigs even more :)
I think owls are great and I own birds, so I'm partial to things with birds. Plus just finished the first book in the Guardians of Go'hoole series. Seriously, I think meerkats are the cutest animals on Earth, so hope they are next....
Let's see - butterflies are my favourite for a new trend, but also giraffes and trees. Love the owls though ...
I have no idea what the next trend will be, but I was thrilled when everyone was picking up on owls because they remind me of my grandmother who raised me and died when I was 15. Her friends called her a wise old owl and she had all sorts of owl things around the house from them. Sadly I have none of them in my own house to remind me of her and am still looking for the right owl to bring home.
I have no idea what the next trend will be. I am seeing a lot of mushrooms and toadstools out there, but they are on my radar as I love them - at the same time I do and don't want them to be the next big thing.
I'm thinking hedgehogs are catching on, although they seem a bit pokey to me! I'm hoping everyone will want a felt hair clip because I enjoy making them :)
thanks for the giveaway!

oooo is this still on.?!!! I hope it is :D...I don't really follow any trends, I follow beautiful and cute things :D...according to what I currently need...like if I'm into paintings, then I'll be looking at paintings :D, etc....I'm sure there's a new animal out there waiting to be glamoured :D...like a giraffe, maybe? hahahaha
hmmm we have had birds and deer, now owls.... I predict fish are next :-) No idea really.
mmmm.....I am thinking scooters. Have a wee girl with a birthday coming up ... she loves owls :-)
I like birds and the little red riding hood phase at the moment as well. I agree with some of the above ones. I like giraffes, teapots, bicycles. Will be interesting to see.
Love the pencil case! Lou.
Owls rock, if I was a trend setter (which I am not, lol) I would say bees are pretty dam cute and could be the next 'it' design.
I like owls :) But my hot tip for the next big trend, at least for the month of October.... sugar skulls!!!
my favourite has to be a teacup but I would love it if bees had their moment too.
