What is a Flopsock?

Growing up, my midwestern family had an interesting way with words. The image below is a "flopsock". This is what happens when you pull off your boots when wearing long knee-socks. They slip down and dangle half-way off with the warm middle part hugging your foot. When it's cold out, it feels good. Plus, it's fun to flop them around. That's how my studio's name, Flopsock Designs came about.

A flopsock is delightful and fun.

I live in NYC where I am an advertising creative. Flopsock Designs, is my studio where I make greeting cards and art prints. My shop carries a curated, limited selection of my best-selling designs. My work is appeals to people of all ages and has a distinctive style all its own. 

Peppermint Tea

You can't have a holiday season without peppermint. It's the #1 flavor for this time of year and it's best when served up in it's purest form - as a pot of tea. If you're in NYC, check out Cafe Mogador. Their mint tea is the best any time of year - it's made Moroccan style: lightly sweetened with honey and fresh mint leaves. It's amazing!
