A Hoot-n-History:
Hoot-n-Annie was opened by two close friends in October of 2006 with a goal of offering Portland families a truly unique alternative to traditional children’s resale. In 2009, a great little family took over and after a few years in their loving hands, Hoot-n-Annie was passed on to two savvy Moms who were long-time friends and shared a passion for family, community, consignment and the environment.
With new ownership, the store took on a new look and direction. After 5 years of hard work, determination, and literal blood, sweat, and tears, it became a great success. In the Spring of 2016, with their friendship strong and full of support for one another, one partner left to grow their family and pursue a new career. The other stayed on to continue the store’s long tradition of treating their customers as friends, selling high-quality stylish children, women’s, and maternity items and making it all affordable.
The store was relocated into the heart of Hillsdale in early January 2017 and is in full bloom. Hoot-n-Annie has become one of Portland’s top consignment stores due to the owner-operated philosophy, attention to detail, style and price ranges offered, organizational skills, and excellent customer service! Hoot-n-Annie customers, family, and friends deserve a big shout-out for being so supportive of this mama-run local business! Without all of you, there would be no Hoot-n-Annie Children’s Resale Boutique!
MEET THE OWNER:
Tina Donnaloia:
I am a Portland native and a Mother of 4 from ages 14 to 30. Having gone through every child development stage and surviving, I know how wonderful and hectic family life can be. That is precisely why this lovely picture my youngest drew will act as our family portrait until I can wrangle all of us in one place at the same time for a real one! Besides, that dress is amazing!
My husband A.G. and I have enjoyed being equal partners in life and parenting for over 25 years and our family home is filled with love, discovery, whining, laughter and lots of music! As a family we are very social and enjoy spending time with friends and family, exploring our constantly changing city, making messes while baking in the kitchen, trips to the beach and cuddling on the couch with a good movie!
My favorite thing about children is their individuality and unique personalities. At an early age they know what they like and don’t like and I love to listen to them talk and express themselves. I am excited about helping them share their style with the world and helping make my customer’s lives easier by having everything they need all in one place! Looking forward to meeting you!
MEET OUR STAFF:
Leah & Sydney
Another dynamic Mother/Daughter duo in the house! Leah has been with us since the old days and after a long break filled with another kiddo and career, she is back part-time! Her daughter Sydney joins us as well! She was just 3 years old when Leah first worked with us down on Barbur Blvd and now that she is 15, she is enjoying her first job! Leah is our mama pro so feel free to ask questions, pick her brain or just let it out! She will understand! These two are the kind of Mom and daughter that are super close, love spending time together and have such respect for each other! Their favorite things are concerts and traveling and they always know how to have fun! It is adorable to watch their dynamic! You can find them on the weekends here at the shop so pop in and say hello!
Berkeley
Berkeley is now attending college in Washington DC but whenever she is back in town for breaks and holidays she comes in and works at the shop! We love having her hardworking, smart, sweet, and gentle personality in the shop. She is a ray of sunshine up at the register and always has a smile for you! She is very close with her family and they are always good about making time to spend with each other on little trips in our great state or even internationally! She is learning all things politics and we have no doubt she will do great things to better our world!
