Rainbow Toe Socks

Rainbow Toe Socks by Jamie ShelmanI am a collector of happy things. When I saw this on Etsy this morning I knew that I needed it. $25 for something that will improve the way I feel every time I see it?  $25 for something that holds the promise of peace (because who could ever argue with their husband or their mother in the presence of a cat proudly modeling his rainbow toe socks?) and harmony in my home? I hit the buy button so fast that I gave myself a little neck spasm.

Now if I can just convince Kokka to let me do a "rainbow toe sock" print.

Ooooh! The idea of a "rainbow toe sock" print in fabric makes me all giddy!!!

Indeed, cute cat + rainbow toe socks = peace. You are 100% correct.

I *have* rainbow toe socks! They feel too weird to wear, but they're so happy in my drawer...

Oh, my. That is good. Very, very good.

That is so adorable!

You should embroider a transfer image of that and make a pillow. Then you could lay on it while peering up at your framed original print. I never knew illustrators bought other illustrations. Interesting. It must be like meeting your long lost illustrator cousin or something.

I saw him on the ' What I wore today' flickr group. I love that group. Have you seen it? That the socks the little guy is wearing.

Do you mind to share from whom you purchased the print?

Thank you!
