Welcome to the Home of Mother Owl

Welcome:
You know; The owl is an interesting bird. It is the only one of its species that can see in the dark as well as in the daylight. It can also when perched turn its head almost a complete circle looking for food. Considered as an instrument of wisdem, it was feared by many Native American Tribes.
Mother Owl comes to you from the Heart of the Ozarks in southwest Missouri. The country that is noted for funny looking hats, corncob pipes, and moonshine. We do have shoes now, at least in the winter months, the corncob pipes have all but disapeared, thanks to the Surgeon General, and we still wear funny hats, but these days they're made in China.
The Owl House is located in a small town, most famous for one thing. Mansfield, Missouri is the home of Laura Ingalls Wilder. The place where she wrote all of her books, and the place where Laura, Almonzo, and daughter Rose are buried. It is also the home of Mother Owl's Choice. This is a shop where the best craftsmen from throughout the Ozarks come to display and sell their crafts. Mother Owl features crafts from all walks of life, Amish made goods from the area, Native American goods from here as well as from Oklahoma, Pioneer dresses and bonnets, pictures framed from one hundred year old barns in the area, paintings from area artists, and many, many other things too numerous to mention.
We love feed-back, and are looking forward to comments. We will be adding trivia often about the Mansfield area and also about Mother Owl's Choice. Check back often.
We Love You All! Mother Owl
