I love monograms. I don't know why, exactly, but there's something lovely about their timeless, vintage appeal.

These are charming handpainted designs from Rifle Paper Company

I bought one of these for my husband for Christmas. Love.

Oh Louise Designs

Wouldn't these be adorable in a child's room?

Mosieposies

I have this necklace with my children's initials on each disc. I love that I can wear it every day without fear of breaking it.

Magpie Designz

Except my children are not named Abella, Blanca, and Enrique. Not that those aren't lovely names. They just don't have the same Gaelic ring needed to fit with my last name, McMahon. (Said just like Ed McMahon. Or McMann, for those of you too young to remember Ed.)

And this? This makes me want to plan a giant event just so I can get my hands on these letterpress save the dates.

Small Printer

Honey, will you marry me, just so we can get some of these cards?

I understand that monogrammed linens are a Southern tradition. Is that true? I do not have any -- am I the only one? Am I missing out on something by not having monogrammed shams?

Restoration Hardware

I have, however, been known to personalize other things.


What kind of stuff have you personalized? Written on your gloves recently, have you?
