Rainbows & Sunshine
I don’t usually take sock shots in the sunlight, but when I woke up two Sundays ago to a bright sunny morning I decided to give these pretty new knee highs a shot in the sun. We’ve been getting some really pretty stripes lately and I can never pick favorites so I wore one of each of these with one of each of the new Dreamy Knees…
it made me happy all day
That afternoon, after staying up late the night before finishing a batch of Strange Monster arm cozies for us Rene & her partner Cameron dropped off what would become our last batch of these beloved cozies.
a few days later we learned she passed away the very next day.
A sadness fell over us that was hard to shake. I’d barely gotten to know her in the past few months since we’d met as we mostly exchanged emails and talked briefly during her drop offs. We were about the same age and I loved that she wore pigtails too.
If you own a pair of her cozies treasure them forever because she really did make each and every one of them herself. If you don’t own a pair you best grab some while we still have some. Today it’s grey and we’re finally going to get some rain…
so here’s to the rainbows and sunshine to come.

Oh wow, the Dreamy Knees and the KBells look so great layered together!
That’s so sad about StrangeMonster… I met her at one point when she came to drop things off, and she was so sweet.

They do look great layered together. Love the colors. How fun! I have to get some of those. Do they come as toesocks too? Are they warm? because my feet are always cold.

Sorry to hear about your friend… sounds like it was pretty unexpected.

They don’t come in toesocks, unfortunately…
but they are warm, esp when layered.

I’m so sorry. What a shock.

Off topic–but I love the new whales and owls. I will add them to my ever growing list. A big thank you to our friends down under for the suggestion.

Do you have a link to your blogroll from the main page? If not — you should! Oh my. I love SockDreams sooooo much. Thanks for letting me know about your blog, Danny. =)

Ooops — I meant: Do you have a link to your weblog — not blogroll — from the main page? I kept a mental note to add your blog to my own blogroll. Again, love the site!
