Product Placement: Monogrammed Glassware

I celebrated the big 2-1 this Sunday, and while this is not a "big deal birthday" in Italy, we still managed to make it feel special! It got me thinking about my lack of appropriate stemware for alcoholic beverages. My options are down to my Tervis Tumbler, my blue plastic Target cups, and my various coffee mugs -- nothing conducive to inviting anyone over... without judgment anyway.

With my love of all things monogram, it's no wonder why I find these are so attractive!

 
Much better than my current stock! Get these and many more here!

Also -- summer always seems to fly by once my birthday has come and gone! Where has time gone?? Hope everyone is savoring their summers!

Product Placement: Monogram Decals

 Order yours here! (there are also really cute mini decals that are perfect for sassing up small decor!)

Sometimes it's hard for me to imagine anyone who doesn't understand what a monogram is, especially since they seem to be everywhere I turn in North Carolina. However, step outside of our neck of the woods, and – believe it or not – very few people know what they are. (My best friend's uncle is from the North and thought that the monogram decal on the back of her car was a gang symbol...) 

My friends and I love learning people’s full names (a small idiosyncrasy we share), so we were all about asking our Italian friends about theirs while we strolled the main street last night. As it turns out, Italians don’t have middle names, and therefore, monograms are completely off of their radar. We had a lot fun explaining the concept of "the monogram" to them and the crazy obsession we have with them all while drawing ours in the air with our fingers. (I think they thought our passion for three funny-looking letters was a bit strange…) Now all we need to do is get them to start using "y'all"...

We are so excited about this new line of personalized gifts. I definitely need a belt! And, if my kids were babies, they would so have the little onesies & tshirts for this summer. With so many patterns, colors & monogram/font styles, the sky's the limit on the possibilities!
