Another reason Portlanders are lucky...

Sock Dreams, one of my top 5 favorite internet stores, is opening a brick + mortar shop in their hometown of Portland, Oregon! You can read about it here. This is their new location, complete with funny green photoshopping:

Good grief, I love those folks so much...a sentiment that I know I've shared numerous times, but which I just can't say enough.

Haha I have those purple and white stripey guys! Discovered Sock Dreams via you...thanks Emily!

I love that this comes on the heels of the "sock-LESS" post. It's like you're making up for previous lack of socks by posting TWICE the socks here. =)

Wow, it's been years since I lived in PDX, but I feel like I recognize that building.

Fun! You are the most original and lovelyly dressed young lady around.

Yet another reason I wish I lived in Portland!

And now you have me curious...what are the other 4 top fave internet stores?!

I think I need to go to Portland.

Oh thank you a million times for blogging about them! I just spent wayyyy too much time on their site and forsee me spending wayyy too much $$ too. But I'm so glad to have finally found such a great resource for all my sock/stocking dreams to come true :)

Ooo, ooo, I'm going the next time I'm there--which shouldn't be long since the boy and I generally make a weekend trip every couple of months.

I've had their site bookmarked for so long and I completely agree with your sentiment. The craft scene in Portland is so fabulous too!

I love that I live in Portland and that Sock Dreams is going to have a store front !

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay !

Oh man! I'm so excited. I'll be doing a show in Portland this holiday season -- I'm totally going to Sock Dreams!

I had never heard of sock dreams before!!! How could I have been so deprived and not know it?!?!? :)

WOW! um, Hi? Sock Dreams here! What lovely comments!
We are hoping to have a "soft" opening in October (if all goes well, we just moved in!) and a grand opening in spring!
If you have lived in PDX, you'll know that building from Powell Blvd with a HUGE billboard on top (that we don't get to use). It's close to Aladdin Theater if that helps for a visual.
Thanks for all the love!
Do mention this site if you order so we can treat it with even EXTRA loving care!
