Hootables… A Community Effort
Every penny raised from the sale of these owls is supporting a young person in post secondary education.
It’s funny how good things come from bad things
Several years ago I was in rough shape with a bad back. Lots of pain. Trying to carry on work. Reduced activity. Mostly, I could manage the pain if I laid on my left side. [I didn’t do this without pain meds]
Couldn’t lay there indefinitely and since I’m a lifelong knitter of big projects, I was a bit frustrated that I couldn’t do my normal knitting projects. However, there’s always a gift.

And now, two more who have found forever homes...Sanjeer and William James.
Okay then... we are now all caught up... except I have a pale yellow, pink, white fluffy eyelash yarn owl in my basket by my chair in the living room. And downstairs are four others, laying with their wings, beaks, and claws tucked inside them, waiting, waiting, to be whole.
One of those owls on my work table is going to be #3500. Who ever thought that would happen???
I'll try to stay on top of this ... sorry!
Meanwhile, our eighth student has just completed her first year in social work. We had tea last week and she told me all about her co-op placement, how much she loves Cambrian College, and of course is grateful to all of you who support the Hootables program!
A Letter of Thanks
Where can I buy a Hootable?
A number of Barrie, ON retailers sell Hootables out of the goodness of their hearts.

Adoptions
Interested in having a Hootable Owl of your own, or you want to gift one to someone else? Check out the latest available owls and news on our Facebook Page.
You can choose your colour. Donna chooses the owl’s name just because she gets attached to them all. The price for an adult owl is $50 and babies are $25 extra. *Babies owls are not made separately* If you’re having the owl mailed, expect to add a bit for economical courier costs, too.
