Barn Owls invade Keillor's

I'm sure so many of us are familiar with the character Hedwig. No, not the current Broadway play staring Neal Patrick Harris but... Harry Potter's Owl.

Hedwig was given to  Harry in "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" as an eleventh birthday present by Rubeus Hagrid, who purchases the owl in Diagon Alley at the Eeylops Owl Emporium.

 
So why not come and visit Keillor's A Teddy Bear Shoppe, as it has an owl similar in style to Harry's beloved..... Hedwig.








This is a "Douglas: The Cuddle Toy" line.  He is made from a Polyester Fiber, with sections that have long fur that takes on a similar look to feathers. Brown in color with darker brown and crème colored highlights, this owl measures  8 1/2 inches long,  has a "pleather" nose and child safety plastic eyes, and is priced at $19.95 plus tax

This is a "Douglas" line.  He is made from a Polyester Fiber, with sections that have long fur that takes on a similar look to feathers.  White in color with golden brown and crème highlights, this owl measures  6 1/2  inches long --- making this maybe an owlet or fledgling ---  has a "pleather" nose and child safety plastic eyes, and is priced at $19.95 plus tax.













This lovely owl is the "odd-ball" in the posting as he is a Steiff. His name is "Wittie".  He is made out of 53% mohair and 47% cotton.  He measures only 4 1/2 inches high --- which makes him the shortest owl in the group. 

He has airbrushed highlights, plastic child-safety eyes. Black fur highlights that make-up his "horns".  A paper Steiff tag sewn into his chest, the yellow "play-line" Steiff tag.  He's priced at $99.00 plus tax. A true collectors item, if you love owls or Steiff.

Dig out your Harry Potter DVD/Blu-Ray's and buy an owl or two and enjoy being "part of the magic"
