Sweet Marcel, how we love you!


Dearest Sweet Marcel,
I love your socks so very much!
I love them over my knees while I dream of tea in the conservatory at dawn
and I love them over my friends knees while we giggle with the dogs at noon…

All my friends love you for being so easy to get along with, in fact, I think my larger friends love you the most because your socks stay up so well on them, I often need to pull them back up now & again or use garters, not that I mind, I find it adds to the charm that is Sweet Marcel. I think we’re going to very good friends.
Love & warm toes…
always,

Last night in Portland

layers for Tori
For the first time in years I ventured out to see a concert…
it was my third time seeing Tori Amos, and thanks to the splendor of the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall it was the best. I took along two of my dearest friends, Sock Dreams CFO Kori and Sock Dreams web designer Olivia, we had an amazing view from our balcony seats and had a fabulous time.
I wore a dress I found on Etsy ( wearydrearies.etsy.com) and layered the Pyramid Nets over the sheer & opaque vertical stripes (both are fully thigh high on me at 31″). The effect was pretty stunning and they stayed up perfectly without garters. I highly recommend that combination.
