You all know how I’ve been staying in the mountains with my sisters, right? Well, while we were up there I had a chance to visit one of my dear friends who lives in Steamboat. I went over to her house to pick her up for coffee and while we were walking down her front path she casually pointed out a large pile of droppings from a bear. Let me give you a second with that. A bear had been hanging out in her front yard and had apparently paused long enough to take a bathroom break. 

And she was so cool with it! That’s the thing about folks who live in the mountains. They’re laid-back about all sorts of stuff that would have me swanning about dramatically – freezing temperatures, hat head, wandering wildlife… I think I do better with bears when they’re wearing glasses and ties and getting down under fairy lights.

And a dance party in my heart? Sign me up!

I just love the idea of a series of these prints all hanging together. They’re just so sweet, aren’t they?

Okay, if it’s going to be cold and snowy, at least let’s be snuggly by the fire with hot cocoa and best friends.

How sweet would these two prints be together paired on a wall?

This one is my absolute favorite because it’s what I want for Alice – adventures with her best friend under a starry sky in a really cute tee pee. Not a bear in sight. Unless it’s a BFF, of course.
