If your really Italian you will remember wearing these type of socks when you were younger:

White... Knee high and they kinda have the crochet look.....

I cant really explain them but if you know what I am talking about do you have any idea where I can buy some for my flower girl???

My grandparents just came back from Italy November and they aren't going back until probably next year..............

Any help will be appreciated..

I cannot remember the name of the place on Steinway Street but I can picture it. I'll try to get the info from my mother or grandmother.

Right now I can not remember the names of the stores but I can give you the location.

There is a children's clothing store on 18th Avenue between 64th & 65th Street (next to the Citibank).

Another one is another children's store on 18th Avenue between 74th & 75th street (next to the gas station).

The third store is on 18th Avenue between 71st & 72nd Street (next to a hairstylist and a fish market).

thank you!!

much appreciated!!!

your welcome

Re: calling all ITALIAN GIRLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG I LOVED those socks...I would wear them with everything...I loved wearing them with either my black or white mary janes...I even wore them with sneakers and shorts...I'm sure my mom still has them stored somewhere in the attic...

I'm pretty sure you could find them where they sell communion dresses or little girls easter dresses...anywhere in Brooklyn is a definate...

PS I also had the gold chain with the horn...that wasn't so bad because I could hide it underneath my uniform...what was bad was the nutella sandwiches...you have NO idea what kind of torture I would get whenever my mom would make them for us (my bro and sis got the same grief)... AS amazing as it taste anything that brown slapped between two pieces of bread did not look appetizing...esp to non italians...

lol...yours were not the only sandwiches to look odd...come to think of it...there were rare times that I ever had sandwiches on white bread...semolina was always the bread of choice...
Who am I kidding...mommy always made the best sandwiches...and who cared that no one wanted to change sandwiches with me at lunch time...
