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.

Hi Donna Douglas, you have our deep respect for what you are doing so willingly and with such zeal. We hope our adoption paperwork is almost complete for McKinley.  Louise and I are anxious to bring her home to meet our other little bird! Let us know what works for you. Cheers! 

My daughter Leeanna Hearn received the Hootables award this evening at her grade 12 graduation. Thank you very much to Hootables! What a wonderful gift you have given her. No words can express how much we appreciate this amazing generosity!

“Ohhhh…she’s beautiful and perfect… and her name is awesome! Also, I don’t know if you recall, but my daughter’s name is Ashleigh… this truly brought tears to my eyes… because Ashleigh and I both love purple. I love Asha… thank you! I can’t wait to hold her!!!”

Hi Everyone...
Its been a busy few weeks for Hootables.  I wanted to share this picture of my friend, Sue Olsen, and I at the Ripple of Kindness winter social on Thursday night.  Fourteen owls flew off our table and into the arms of happy gift givers... $700 raised.  Thank you for your help, Sue.

Also, I want to introduce our new website, completed by Gravity Stack Marketing.  This company has been hosting the old hootables site in a complimentary fashion for several years and we felt it was time we spent a little money with them and upgraded the site.

Hope you like it.  If you have been to hootables.ca before, be sure to hit refresh or reload so you get the new site.  Check it out on your mobile device, too.

Thank you for Jennifer Gingrich for putting up with my low tech skills in getting this done!

Lots of owls flew away at the St Thomas Christmas Fair in Shanty Bay November 16. Here they are…
Davina took home
Gilmour, born August 25, 2024 and #3282.
Bill, born May 7, 2024 and #3244
Jerry, born August 22, 2024 and #3281
Tina, born November 3, 2024 and #3307
These were a combination of Kathy and Donna owls.

Pat O’Connor selected Betty, #3273 (born Ausugt 11, 2024) a Kathy owl.

Olive, born September 28, 2024, a Kathy owl, #3290, went home with Stephanie Butler of Barrie.

Winnifred, born August 4, 2024, and #3266, was purchased for her grandson by Donna Brunner at the Shanty Bay Sale.

Gayle, #3219, born April 5, 2024, went home with Rina D’Angelo. Gayle is one of my owls and one of the softest I’ve made in awhile. Very cuddly owl.

Hilda, a sparkly, Christmas owl, born April 1, 2024 and #3217 went home with Paul as a gift. Hilda was one of my favourites, a cuddly red.

And the last four purchases at the St Thomas sale went to Barb Sinton of Barrie. She now has lots of Christmas gifts. Barb chose
Doris, #3306 born November 1, 2024
Alan, #3254, born May 22, 2024, a gnome owl from Kathy
Harvey, born August 14, 2024, #3276, a jaunty owl
Don, born August 7, 2024, #3269

A Letter of Thanks

Where can I buy a Hootable?

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.

Every penny raised from the sale of these owls is supporting a young person in post secondary education.
