I just love monogramming. I don't know if it's a Southern "thing" or not, but we do love to monogram everything down here - especially lately - anything that moves, even the cars we drive. That's a little over the top for me, but I do love monogrammed linens. I am a sucker for old linens and simply cannot pass them up in antique stores and shows. Most of the time, the old ones are really quite reasonably priced. Even when I can't find something with my initials, I look for my maiden name initial or my mother's and mother-in-law's initials. That covers a good part of the alphabet, so I almost always find something to buy!!
Often times, if I see beautiful linen napkins, pillow cases or hand towels, I will purchase them and have them monogrammed to my liking. I am always looking for fabulous monnogramming like the samples above from monogrammedlinenshop.com. These personalized "luxuries" make beautiful heirloom gifts for weddings and showers - not likely to be duplicated, but ever so appreciated for many, many years to come. They also make great gifts to me, myself!
