Bluebell Socks, the socks Alice would wear!
Who the fudge is Alice you might ask.
Remember the girl that chased the white rabbit and ended up to a tea party and almost had her head cut of by the Queen!
That Alice!
Through whole the process of these socks I fantasized of having an Alice like model for the photoshoot and the photoshoot would be held in a field of harebells and daisies!
As you can see, that hasn’t happened! But I can use my words to paint you the picture!
Scottish Bluebells or Harebells are my absolute favorite flowers! I’ve loved them since I was a little girl. Scottish Bluebells are found growing in meadows frequented by hares. Some would argue, the name Harebell was given this flower due to the fact that witches were known to turn themselves into hares and hide among them.
