Dreaming of Men’s Sock Garters

Made in the USA, to our specifications…
Mens garters and recycled fiber socks
Traditionally a men’s sock garter, we think they are equally practical for girls…
Men’s sock garters and red mary janes
downright sexy on ladies…
Boysocks and mens garters
…and just plain fun!
Green garters & organic EG Smith socks, ...soon to be available online!
They haven’t been the easiest item to find…
at long last we have secured a source for classic sock garters!
with stripes & without stripes
Thanks to my determined crew we’ve received, tested, photographed & labeled a slew of these for you and will be adding variations in the future (more colors and hardware options including clips and faux-leather!!!).
Editing images of sock garters, best job in the world!
We even made one a few inches longer in case you have extra large calves or want to wear them at your thighs…

Lots more Dreamy news to come!

Crazy for Space Dyed

Space dyed Space venus knee highs in the sunlight
Crazy are the space dyed…
by nature, all space dyed socks are unique individuals, like me, and hopefully you.
this means from one pair to the next they do not look the same
within a pair they do not look the same
…sometimes, but not always, not usually anyway.
And sometimes this drives people crazy because they want their socks to match…
eachother, or the pair they saw when they said, “yeah, I want those!”
But that’s just the way they are, nothing I can do about it
…except, maybe, not offer them at all
and we don’t want that do we? no, we don’t, because we like them.
No, we love them! and have always said these would be great for our shoppe
then you can see exactly what you are getting when you buy them
which leads to craziness because then you’ll want to see each and every pair
and this just is not possible on the website, wouldn’t it be cool if it were?
but I assure you, chaos would ensue and we just aren’t going to try and tackle that!
But all the while I keep ordering in more & more because Nouvella just has so many…
and I can’t resist them!
terry shorties: Short, just past your heels, not quite past your ankles
terry crews: past your ankles, maybe to your knees,
(((these just might be one of my all time fav’s)))
eclipse terry crew socks
…and space dyed knee highs: up to your knees with ease and they’ll stay up there too!
Turquoise space dyed and sunlight
they all come in a dizzying array of choices
and I add a few nearly every time I order
next time you’ll see the likes of sparkle, coney and space star…
what do they look like? I can’t remember, but they’re sure to be fun!

Here’s an example of potential variations…

Sundaes in the Breeze

I’m pretty sure you guys all get as excited as we do about new things. New styles, new designs, and (to me) the most exciting of all, NEW COLORS!!

Sea Breezy Knees

Liz and I are always at our most excitable when we’re playing with colors for new stripes. With the Dreamy Knees already such a hit with everyone, obviously we had to add more color combos! Sea Breeze is a big favorite with everyone at headquarters. The nice light blues and yellows conjured very different mental images depending on who you talked to! For some, sailing on a calm lake. For others, sunshine and clouds at the beach. To some they gave more of a cold impression, like a sunny day in the arctic. I’m always fascinated by the ideas invoked by pretty color combinations, and the Sea Breeze stripes are excellent for that!

But then we get a very different vibe from the Sundae stripes.

Edmund Sundae

Delicious frozen treat or warm cherry pie? Possibly a rich raspberry truffle? Most of us thought food when we saw these delicious stripes, although possibly we were just hungry that day. Apart from food though, they make me think of warm coziness, which is why I had to go pester my snuggly cats to get pictures. Sir Edmund wasn’t too happy about it (he’s kind of a grump), but Morty didn’t seem to mind.
