Continuing the theme…


I know, I know, it’s almost all we’ve shown this week…
but I couldn’t resist adding mine before we move on.
Super Stripes in pink and natural, I’m lucky because with shoe sized 8.5 ish feet I can wear either the larger footed or smaller footed equally well, here I am wearing the larger footed. They do not stay up well on me without sock garters, which is fine for bedtime or around the house, but these pretty little budded garters kept them up nicely for a day at work and a walk at the park, I think I only had to tug them up & adjust them twice all day, and just a bit at that.
It’s been another amazing week…
Strong sales have continued, but more importantly,
my stress has dropped tremendously, why?
for at least a few reasons: one, tax prep is done, now I just have to wait til our accountant tells me the results, two, and likely the biggest thing, is that our employees are doing a great job, taking on more responsibilities and generally making me smile more than I have in months. I barely check work related emails from home anymore, don’t deal with returns at all (except to give assistance to Daffodil, who is now in charge of them) and I’ve finally stepped back to allow someone else to pull the non Dream Stocking orders part of the time (I still check them all for accuracy though). It’s fantastic to see everything growing before my eyes!
Here are a few more things that have made me smile lately…
Special Instructions: I want EVERYTHING here…it’s SO hard to hold back!
I send your link to EVERYONE!

Special Instructions: I only just discovered your store today, and I wanted to say thanks so much for doing this! Especially the free shipping that is like the rainbow sprinkles on top of a magical cake!
Special Instructions: this site is incredibly dangerous.
and a few more…
oh my gosh I already received my order of socks. thanking you so much . I love them. I will be back to order again. you have a user friendly site and very fast service.
i’ll be sending a money order.
I wish I was a millionaire.
then I could buy all your socks.
you’re like the willy wonka for socks.
can’t wait for my socks! so ecstatic

Absolutely love your socks. The M43’s and the O marleds are especially wonderful! But I find I am using the O Basics the most. In NYC I go from bitter cold outdoors to tropical overheating too often (older buildings have archaic heating systems so they go for excess rather than get complaints) so its all about lighter layering. My only complaint is that they are just slightly short (as you helpfully point out in the item description, so I was not disappointed when I got them–no complaints there). However, just to let you know– I would be willing to pay a buck or two more for a tall version. Two inches would make a great difference! The length on the O Marleds is perfect! No reply to this email is necessary–just keep the socks coming!
Ah, that’s just what we’ll do!!!

  2. EG Says:

    Does that make us the Umpa loompas??? lol ;o)

  3. Jamie-Lynn Says:

    Yeah, you and the other sock girls from the journal would be the Oompa Loopa’s cuz you actually do some work around here. The rest of us would be Charlie and the other kids who just come along for the ride and enjoy all the goodies.

  4. EG Says:

    in the 71 version of Willy Wonka the Oompas wore cool striped sockies!!! :O)

  5. Loriana Says:

    So happy to hear things are going well for you! And I love the Wonka reference, it fits so well :)

  6. Babylon Says:

    Nylon M43s?!? ooooo! *waits*

  7. niqkita Says:

    of course sock girls will all be issued a pair to sample when the time comes…
    why, even some of the regulars will probably get a pair snuck into their orders ~;)

  8. shelleopard Says:

    mmm, nylon….does this mean that the fit will be more similar to things like the K Bell Striped OTKs?

  9. Babylon Says:

    I noticed the wee little icon last night, I love those

  10. Michelle Says:

    Awww, I must be totally dense. What/where is the “fav icon”? @_@

  11. Babylon Says:

    up in the corner in front of the URL in the adress bar on your browser there should be a little purple square with a little S J in scrolly letters

  12. Babylon Says:

    it’s a “favorites” icon in IE…of course in firefox its “bookmarks” ;)

  13. Michelle Says:

    Yay! Now I see the little icon. Thanks for pointing that out Babylon! :) For some reason, it wasn’t showing up on my faves list so I saved the SJ separately and now it’s showing. he he

  14. Niq Says:

    sily me using IE terminology while being an avid firefox user. And, yeah, I was agreeing that I would be willy, but misread Shell’s post. Whatever the name, I’d be the eccentric one in the mysterious factory making marvelous socks ~:D

  15. Rebeckah Says:

    hmmm. I’m still not seeing the icon today. :( I’ll try saving anew and see if I get it that way. I didn’t know what a fav icon was either so don’t feel bad.

  16. shelleopard Says:

    i had to remake my bookmark in firefox to get the icon on it, but it was already popping up in the goto bar.

  17. Loriana Says:

    I had to remake my bookmark, too, but it didn’t show in the goto bar yesterday. (It does now)
