This is a @bubba7k9 appreciation post! Bubba broug

This is a @bubba7k9 appreciation post! Bubba brought her nine dogs and trailered Spammy’s cousin Bubbette up to the NC mountains this weekend. Yesterday, Bubbette was all decked out in her holiday finery and entered as a parade float in the 48th Annual Cashiers Christmas Parade at which our own @marykayandrews was the Grand Marshal. Bubba, Bubbette and their pack braved the downpours to spread the #friendsandfiction gospel, tell the world all about MKA’s #brightlightsbigchristmas and that #christmasbeginswithmka. There’s just no one like our Bubba and we love her to the North Pole and back. Thank you, Bubba! Hope you’re home safe and dry. ❤️🤍💚

Announcing the new F&F Merch Store! We've still go

Announcing the new F&F Merch Store! We've still got our popular Name List tees and sweatshirts. But now we've added coffee mugs (in two different designs) and a book bag. Check it all out on @bonfire. If you'd like to order in time for Christmas, their turnaround time is a bit tight. So be sure to get all holiday gift orders in by December 6th. Otherwise the storefront is "always open" and you can place orders for all of these items at anytime. Happy shopping! Link in our bio!
