Hitty’s worst Nightmare
Constance was a little alarmed at the evidence of nearby beavers…

Alpine Bakery Cafe
but she was mollified by an excellent blueberry almond whole wheat scone and chai latte from the Alpine Bakery on Main Street.

Slippers made by Beverly Kitli
…and a visit to the Bearpaw Gift Shop, where she had fun looking at Hitty sized slippers…
.

Slippers!
…and she didn’t have any trouble persuading the humans to get her a pair to complete her outfit.

Quimper Hittys 
Oh, Constance,
I LOVE your new slippers and beaded vest! You look so cosy in them. But, of course, you deserve them after your nerve-wracking close encounter with a woodevor. I don’t think that human people quite understand that a wood chewing beaver is as alarming a thought for we Hittys as a man eating tiger might be for them. I am shuddering at the thought of being within a mile of those enormous front teeth!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful adventure with us again. We have our first snow of the winter here in Wales.It is only 4 inches deep, but still falling. So pretty!
Much love,
Meg Not-Quite-Hitty xxxx
PS Mary is helping to wax bath our new friend,Winberry Hitty. Our Person wishes she could talk to you abour delicate matters such as Hitty hair styles.
The possibility of meeting a beaver was quite alarming! Constance was very glad we have avoided all rodents on this trip so far (except for ground squirrels)
It looks cold enough to make a doll’s pegs creaky! Love the slippers. Janet
Her pegs are loose and floppy, luckily she hasn’t been required to do any sprinting!
Constance looks like a native Yukon girl…If this wooden should write her memoirs, it would be a best seller!!! She leads a fashionable adventurous life and we are privileged to witness it all! Thank you and have a great time.
We have had a lot of fun on this trip! Several people have commented on her Yukon Parka! It makes me happy to know that it is accurate enough that people know what it actually is!
How perfect! Love the slippers. This looks like an amazing place to visit…enjoying the photos – thanks for sharing your adventure!
It is quite a wonderful place! I have been here twice in summer (alas, before Constance) and this is my third winter trip!
It must have been very hard to resist the impulse to buy ALL the slippers for the stay at home Quimper Hittys!
The slippers are just perfect, and I do wish I could have gotten a dozen pairs for all my Hitty friends!
I can’t begin to tell you how frozen I felt looking at the photos, UNTIL, the chai latte showed up in one of them….then, all was well, Constance was shod and warmth again entered the scenario. Stay warm! It looks so cold.
It was cold outdoors , but we have been very well taken care of, and haven’t needed to stand around in it for any length of time, except by choice!
Wow, what an adventure the Quimper humans and Constance are enjoying. Thank you for sharing. Also add me to the list of those admiring the vest and the new matching moccasins!!
It is certainly an adventure! We are thoroughly enjoying ourselves! I Made the vest on Constance’s first trip up here, but it is the first time we have found tiny slippers. You can imagine how exited we were when we spotted them in the shop.
