Sock It To Me

I commissioned Krystal Larsen- graphic designer, baker and all-around creative soul- to sew a sock elephant for me. I picked up the new addition to my sock family at the farmers' market this morning. Don't worry, she's just rolling over. Check out Krystal's work here: www.krystallarsen.com

I love sock monkeys.

I may have found a seamstress to make me a Rockford Red Heel® sock elephant- a cousin to the sock monkey. I met the daughter of the seamstress at the farmers' market this morning.

This is what the big girl will look like when the seamstress delivers her to my care.

My mother told me that my grandfather wore Rockford Red Heel® socks to his grave. My adopted Grandma Pearl made me a sock monkey when I was but a wee girl. Sock monkeys must be my animal totem, and they bring sock joy to my heart.
