Monogram Style

One of the hot trends this season are monograms or initials. What I want to know is when did they ever go out of style? I am 39 and have been wearing or decorating with Monograms or initials most of my life. I remember my favorite wool sweaters with my initials on the chest. I had them in many colors and they were a great companion for my wide whales and weejuns. I guess they have always been in style for me, I have been a prep from my earliest days. I loved the signet ring I got for my 21st birthday. One of my wedding presents was an etched monogram pitcher, it stills sits in my kitchen. So for me it is a classic and a staple in my home always~

Don't you love this tray from from http://monogrammarket.com/

This pillow would look great on my couch, you can find this lovely at http://monogrammarket.com/ I have so many of these, morgan and company has a great selection .http://morgan-company.com/


I love this picture I found on Flickr. Brings back such great memories


I love this linen from http://bellalino.com/ but my pocket book does not~ A little secret you can take a duvet or pillowcases to an embroidery shop and have it done for less the price. Check around your local area. We have a cute shop in my community that I always turn to~

    Love this post! I like monograms, but here is the catch..I am not married to the pool man so a family monogram would be interesting at my home! Although I love names...and letters...love'em!
