Mad for monograms and a monogram giveaway!

Hello and happy Friday late day to you....kind of glad this week is over. Between my husbands pneomonia, my own root canal and a stomach bug......I am totally ready for a relaxing weekend,  I think I have earned a few glasses of wine or champagne (maybe even a bottle)!

OK, its definitely no secret how very much I love monograms. I mean really love them. I would monogram just about anything  that isn't nailed down (and often do). I just cannot get enough.....how about you?

So today, I was tickled pink to get a signed copy of Victoria's new Monogram issue in my mailbox. This magazine is absolutely exquisite and a MUST HAVE for anyone who loves monogram. Filled from front page to back cover of the most fabulous, droolworthy pictures of monograms, on linens, silver, china and stationary...it made me a bit weak at the knees! Seriously...I cannot stop looking at this magnificent collection filled with the most beautiful images. You must get a copy!! You will thank me:)

Best part? Hoffman Media  sent me two extra signed copies!! So I am giving away two issues to two very lucky monogramming loving readers. For those of who need to get a copy for yourself pronto, you can order it by clicking here. It is not to be missed, pure and simple. This is one of those magazines (like my many Southern Accents) that you will just not throw away!

So first a look at some of the wonderful ways monograms are being used today. And details on how to enter the drawing on the bottom.......enjoy!!

Hi there, today is like a fun tag sale, a warehouse clearance, a post on pretty accessories AND a giveaway all in one.....imagine all this without having to leave your seat at the computer! I had rented out a small space at a nearby warehouse which I am no longer leasing (got another small space) so I went to clean things out and found some things that frankly I didn't know I had! They were stored all in boxes and there were many happy surprises:) Most of them are things that there are only one or two of....but all wonderful brand new,  beautiful item. 

I as of this morning updated to tell you what is available and what is sold...

 Instead of putting them up on my online shop, I am going to post them here since I have only 1 or 2 of each item,  along with their description and price, as you can also see I numbered them, for ease of emailing me. If you want something simply email me tell you want number x and I will direct invoice you. Any questions of course just ask! Obviously its first come first serve. Everything is discounted.
