Sock It To You

by Posted on

Jessie, Julie, Sherry and Sheila all attended the Adapting to Hollywood conference sponsored by Sisters in Crime in Los Angeles last weekend. We had a little free time in the evening and came across a store called The Los Angeles Sock Market. It’s slogan is World’s Greatest Sock Store and let us tell you — we all (Nancy Coco and Leslie Budewitz were with us too) agreed. We loved Susannah’s post about what she’d buy us at a flea market we decided to do the same thing with socks!

For Jessie’s new Change of Fortune series:

Tarot card socks

And since the series is set in Old Orchard Beach, Maine -- seagulls and pier fries!

  14. Would love to win that pair of socks. By the way, you may need those socks because we are sending you more cold wind and maybe snow from the Midwest. But next week looks a lot better, so just be patient.

      1. So sorry. Despite our reputation for thoughtfulness in the Midwest, we actually don’t have any control over the weather. If we did, we’d do a much better job in April.
