Sock Monsters at the Green Onion

Originally uploaded by bbmarie.

Yesterday Rose, Pearl and I went back to the Green Onion in Caroll Gardens Brooklyn at the request of Shelly the store owner who was nearly sold out of Sock Monsters. Rose and I dumped out her latest creations on the already crowded counter along side of the cash register and Shelly pick out her favorites. She ended up buying $127.00 worth of monsters and after some conversation about living in New York and what it may be like for us to move back to Michigan we were back out on the street. It had turned colder and begun to rain so we ducked into a coffee house to have some lunch and celebrate another Sock Monster victory. Caroll Gardens is very styish, and loaded with cool shops of all kinds and hip little resteraunts. Most of the buildings along Smith street are only three stories high so it feels more intimate and cozy like parts of Greenwich Village and the Lower East Side in Manhattan. I really enjoy these outings with Rose and Pearl. It is so cool to see them getting along so well together. As we rode the train back to our neighborhood they were looking through the pictures they had been taking with the digatal camera and gigling (Pearl had bought a pair of shades with her share of the recent earnings that cranked up her personal cool facter a few notches) and I just enjoyed seeing them carry on enjoying each other’s company. Our New York adventure this past year has been an amazing year for our family that has brought us into contact with so many amazing people and potent experiences.
