We’re moved in and settling into our new Indigo building in Sellwood, just four blocks from our retail shop. After five years in one of the busiest spots in all of Portland we are happy to be in a quieter spot just a little off the beaten path… it is ever so much dreamier here!

This was our sixth year at PrideNW and we levelled up this year by marching in the parade! Dreamers can be a shy bunch, so our numbers were filled out with family and friends, including a couple folks from the fire troupe Weapons of Mass Distraction, which our Dream Stockings Manager is a member of.
Our doggie contingent was represented by little Mr. Ferous, who rocked some socks from our shop, held to his harness with Double Grip Clips. Though skeptical about the socks at first, he quickly forgot all about them because he was having so much fun walking in the parade!
Of course, we didn’t just walk in the parade, our booth was chock-full of socky goodness.
And our logo lady was set up for folks to give face.
You can see how well Niqkita rocked it in her latest News post.
We had a lovely time and we hope your local Prides have gone or go as wonderfully as ours did. Even the temperamental Portland weather cooperated! If you’re still in need of rainbows, we’ve got a bunch of new rainbow styles for you to check out, because remember: Sock Fairies want YOU to rock some socks! For more pictures that we got during the event, check out the gallery!

We love sponsoring and tabling at Pride NW, this will be our sixth year doing it and we always have fun, even when Portland’s idea of summer means a constant drizzle (like last year). This year should be even more special, because we’ve got a great surprise! Well, not exactly a surprise, since I’m talking about it here. 
Maybe you’re familiar with our lovely logo decked out in rainbow socks? We even have desktop wallpaper of her (along with her more monochromatically coloured variations) and the “Summer” variation of our gift cards sport the same rainbow thigh highs.
Well, this vibrant vision of rainbow-sockness will be at our booth (we’re booth H1)! No, not in the flesh, but as a peep-through board! Also known as a face stand-in and “those boards with a hole cut out for you to stick your face through for pictures,” we’ve magicked up an awesome way for you to be our fabulous logo!
Even more fabulous, we’re going to compile images of all the folks who peep through and play as our logo! Forget plain ol’ rainbows, it’s going to be a spectrum of gorgeousness.
We had a lot of fun making it, Dreamer Rosalind (who you may know from our Pinterest and Facebook) did most of the work, including the wonderful lettering!
We were worried we wouldn’t get it done in time for Pride, but we harnessed our magical sock power and everything went faster as we got further along, from planning it out:
To laying down all those colours!
But we got it done and it’s just waiting for you!
So if you see us at Pride NW, say hello and have a go at seeing the world through our logo’s eyes (or face, I guess!).

For six years, Sock Dreams has been both a sponsor and a vendor at Portland’s annual Pride NW. This year, we’ll be coming out in a whole new way: we’ll finally be marching in the big parade! Many of us Dreamers are shy, elusive creatures, preferring to dream behind the scenes and only show our feet and legs, so we’ve only watched from the sidelines– until now. We’ll be joined by many of our local comrades-in-sock, so you might just see someone you know, or you might even recognize some legs from our website and social media. When you see us pass by, cheer as loudly as you can and show us your sock pride!
If you’re looking for our booth, be aware that it’s in a slightly different place than last year, now at H-1 and H-7. Click the image for big:
Our booth will be well-stocked with rainbows, fluff, glitter, and fur, so stop by and pick up some flair! We’ll be set up to sell on both Saturday and Sunday, 12 – 6 PM.
We’ll have another fun Pride surprise for you on Friday, so stay tuned to the blog! Until then, take a look back at a recap of our booth activity from Pride 2011, grab your rainbow socks, and we’ll see you this weekend! ♥

Tomorrow evening is the Rose City Rollers’ season opener, with the first intra-league bouts of the 2012 Rose City Rollers home teams’ season. We’ve been supporting the league since 2006! Time has flown by on the fastest of skates.
This summer we had some socks made especially for us by Gumball Poodle, to show off how much we love the Rose City Rollers. You may have seen them for sale at a couple derby events, but now even folks who live far away and still call Portland home can show off their pride for their derby home team with I ♥ RCR knee highs!
The images for these socks were shot for us by the lovely Taylor B photography, who not only took some snaps of the I ♥ RCR knee highs, but got some fun shots of other derby favourite styles.

There are lots more great derby options, no matter what team you’re on. Drop us a line if you’re having trouble finding your colours or want help finding just the right socks to rock (refs, we have a lot of great black and white vertical stripes, like these!).
Thank you again, Taylor B photography and goooooooo RCR!
