My first subscriber!

I have a subscriber to my sox club! My first subscriber is a male and he ordered the quarterly sock subscription! I hope I'm not violating any kind of confidentiality, I don't know the rules here. Is there HIPAA for clothing? Anyway, how exciting to have a sock subscriber!!!

www.thesoxclub.com is live!!!

We're up and running! The website has been "live" for a little while, but I haven't been ready to say that we're "open" yet, but now we are! I have some socks that came in today (organic cotton socks that come in burgundy- my only socks that are even close to the color red!) that I need to photograph and get on the website, hopefully tomorrow. I'm also going to add some socks made from alpaca fibers, which I will do as soon as I have a moment to get my first order in with the alpaca people. I keep starting an order just before Hannah wakes up, and I don't get to finish! All in due time. That's what being on "baby time" is all about.

The socks in my store are all made from natural fibers grown without pesticides, from manufacturers that also use fair trade/fair wage practices. The organic label makes a big difference with cotton and wool, as I'm finding out! Better for the land, and the people living in the communities where cotton is grown, and better for the sheep! I also have socks made with hemp/cotton blends, and bamboo. So far!

The other aspect of my sock store is a subscription, or "sock club." I have three kinds of clubs that people can sign up for. The "kaleidoscope" club will have a different "eco-friendly" sock each month. I also have a "dress sox" club and a club for sport socks, which will have the same (dress, or sports) socks each month, again, all eco-friendly. Or each quarter, if people prefer quarterly.

Please check out my store and let me know what you think! Leave a comment and/or sign the guestbook! http://www.thesoxclub.com/

I just ordered a bunch of socks!

I've ordered socks from three different companies now. I have a selection of organic cotton, cotton and hemp blend, wool, and bamboo! I'm still waiting for a catalog and some samples from another manufacturer, and I plan to order from them as well. I also ordered sock monkeys from Maggie's organics, and I can't wait to see them in person! Now my job is to figure out how to do the web site thing. When the socks come in I'll take pictures of them and then get rolling. Paula says she'll subscribe to my sock club, she may be my first customer! My mom wants to buy some new socks, too!

I'm pretty excited!!
