FOR THE MONTH OF JUNE, 100% OF THE SALES FROM ANY OF MY ‘STARE’ HATS WILL BE DONATED TO PAWPRINTS ANIMAL RESCUE!!!

I’ve been thinking a lot about more animals that have distinctive stares and one animal that came up often was an owl. Owls can have unmistakable stares, with sharp, bright eyes and a pronounced angled brow. This one should capture the attention of people and owls, alike.

I hope you like the pattern.
