show and sell and Stella!

We had a great day today!  We were at this location before in July and now December again.  Once again a very successful day, in showing, in selling, and reconnecting with Stella!  Stella is our ole friend from our July meeting, an dear lady, and our best returning customer.  She loves our socks, and she made no beans about sharing that with everyone around her today!  We love Stella! She showed everyone what she bought, and boasted how beautiful they were and that she wore them every single day.  She is so cute, and I told her that I wear them everyday too.  She likes to tease MrB, and she tells him she loves him too just like his socks!  She tells him he does such a good job!  She was also wondering where his kilt was today?  We told her that we hope to see her again sometime next year in 2013, as this was the last session at the Bazaar event and will start up again in the spring.  We told her if we are invited back, we will be back!  I know if she knows when we will be back, she will be back too to see us.  We have made a special friend in Stella, our 80+ old dear lady, she is such a joy to be around, and she is always laughing and smiling and she will not hesitate to tell you that she loves Socks Made On 88's Socks! She even bought some a flashy coloured pair today, and her friends thought she was so happening.  How can Stella not brighten anyone's day.  She certainly brightens ours!

bouncing back from being sick

My apologies for not being here of late!  I have been sick.....but I am have now bounced back from my derailment and it is now time to get back on track!  Tomorrow we will be at the Old School Bazaar!  We were there before in July and had a very good day so we are hoping for the same tomorrow.  How can you not have a good time this close to Christmas being in the Festive season mood and all!  Today we have to get into gear and prepare for our Sock Show and Sell, as we are the " Attraction of the Day"  

The count down is on.  It is ten days till Christmas Eve!  We have one more market to do this year.  Next weekend on Dec 22nd, and we are looking forward to it as always!  Then we will take a week or so, and contemplate our attack of action for 2013!   In there too we will celebrate Socks Made On 88's
first birthday!  Wow, it always amazes me how one year can zip by so fast, especially when you are having fun!

MrB and I certainly have had so much fun this year in our little CSM~ venture!
This venture has brought so much added enjoyment to our lifes.  Not only the art itself, the learning and all the curves we have travelledd but mostly the very nice people we have met all along the way.  There are so many to mention!!!  And the people we have met at the market each month are all so friendly and nice to do business with on a montly basis.  Kudos to the Historic Farmers' Market customers as you are a great bunch and Thank you for your business.  We are very happy you are enjoying our product, our SOCKS are Hugs for your Feet!

Season's Greetings to you all .....and I will be here again giving more festive wishes before the Market next weekend, but for now it is to get focused on tomorrow.

Happy Weekend Folks,

Bright and Christmasy Socks to stomp the town

Here are my latest socks, bright and Christmasy ones to stomp the town in my boots.  They will go excellent with my Lime Green LLBean Down Vest that I wear in the our rainy winter weather.  I am going to give them a try today as we are venturing out to Lucy Neatby's Christmas Open House.  I have never met her, " A Knitting Guro or Celebrity", and she only just lives down the road from us.  I wear a nice bright green long-sleeved Tshirt and my poinsettia scarf and give the whole outfit a test run and this is what I plan to wear to our December market also, later in December.  I can honestly say that no socks are too bright for me as long as I have something in my closet to go with them.  So far that appears not to have been a problem :-)  MrB has done some cranking for me of late, and I appreciate his dedication to my 2 pairs of Alpaca socks, and now these, as this yarn was given to me at the PE Crank-in in Ontario, in October from a friend I met there, EMc.  I think I may have one more pair coming my way, from yarn we bought in Ontario.  I have to test them out, you know and I am will be a good model too!

Alpaca for MsB!

My very first pair of Alpaca socks, they feel so soft, comfy and cozy!

They are also my very first pair of ribbed socks.  I do not like ribbed socks, I do not like ribbed socks, I do not like ribbed socks!  I can not pinpoint the dislike, I think it has to do with the size, width and shape of my foot, ankle and leg.  The hung-hem do my feet so much more justice!  I love my all my hung-hem socks, just saying, for those of you who are RIBBED SOCKS fanatics!  Guess I won't be a member of that group :-)  I am looking forward to testing the Alpaca socks though on a real cold day, perhaps in my boots out shoveling snow as I do like to do that when the time comes.
