Baby Donkey Happiness, Freaker USA Update

So I'm in desperate need of some zen time (I know, I know, I live in paradise. But hint: I'm looking forward to the day I'm live car-free again. Which may be soon), and went on the hunt for a faraway landscape that would soothe my nerves. However, nothing was working until I went to my Tumblr and revisited this picture:

Because awwww - baby donkey! Lying in the grass! Naps!

ANYWAY, heard back from the lovely Freaker USA team, and good news - you can get your buy on for realz now. Here's how they responded to my email:

" Freakers are made in a little family owned factory in Troy, North Carolina . We also purchase our yarns from a distributer in the NC. We try our damnest to source everything in the USA and try our best to make sure we are producing and selling social conscious products. "

AND THEN they left this awesome comment that I thought you all may enjoy:

I'm just waiting for the day that they show up in Hawaii with some grilled cheese for meee.

I myself can't get over The Lumbersmack, but there's also The Adrienne for you ladylike type:
