I am coveting that turquoise Rare Gems!! Gorgeous. I'm so envious of all the Sock Summit attendees, but I've enjoyed reading all the blog entries and seeing pictures. I'm glad you had such a good time!

Wonderful pictures - I had a lot of fun reading all about it. Next time I am there for sure!


That last rare gem is totally dreamy.
