PNW Exploring...and wives who steal hoodies...

    We are located in the Pacific Northwest.  One of THE most beautiful areas of the world.  We have stunning mountain range views and driving over the passes makes you feel closer to our creator.  My husband is a huge fan of exploring those mountains, rivers, trails....and places with no trails. I blame his brother mostly for those off the beaten path jaunts.  Lot of adventuring and exploring!

In honor of that love of exploring we came up with a vintage mountain poster style design that I just love:

 

The front of the hoodie sweatshirt has the word 'Explore' on the front left side in orange.  Comes in many colors if the gold yellow is a wee bit too bold for ya! Find it HERE.

Decided we need t shirts in this design too, in soft style unisex fit:

 

 

 

 

Find them HERE.

OK, we all know that if a wife's husband has this hoodie sweatshirt...you WILL be stealing it. I think it's in the marriage vows somewhere that a husband MUST share their cozy hoodies without complaint:

 

What a blessing that we can explore nature and discover new beautiful areas in our world. Feeling thankful today for creation.

In which we reevaluate Donkeys...and decide they need sweaters!

     OK, I have lived most of my life unaware of how sweet and adorable donkeys are. Um, how did I not know this?!   Following a few farmy Instagram accounts has caused me to reevaluate my opinions of these sweet creatures.  They apparently are incredibly sweet and cuddly. Also can be quite territorial.  Did you know that??   See? All sorts of new things we did not know!  (If, in fact, you DID already know that, you get a gold star for the day.)

Also, raise your hand if you've ever heard the song by Lou Monte 'Dominick the Italian Christmas Donkey'.  It's the hilarious cousin to 'I wanna hippopotamus for Christmas',  Both obscure animals with their own festive holiday song.  Go listen a moment, then pop on back.

I decided we need a sweatshirt featuring a cutie pie Christmas donkey wearing a festive knit sweater and hat.  It's an ugly sweater type Christmas sweater....except it isn't ugly. It's adorable: 

Adorable Christmas Donkey Crew Neck Sweatshirt.

Comes in white, black, red, green, navy, light gray, and dark gray.

And then, because I just  can't help myself, I decided we needed just regular cutie pie Christmas Donkey tshirts too. Both in Unisex fit, and Women's fit:

Unisex fit Festive Donkey Christmas T Shirt

And the Women's fit:

    And of course there might be adorable Festive Donkey shirts and sweatshirts for the kiddos too.  I'll pop back around soon to show you those soon. Now, the only problem that remains is naming this cutie. Any ideas?
