The World of Headbands - Monogram Included



I started monogramming headbands before Christmas last year. They were all done on 1" headbands and were cute but the font I chose was, well, sort of formal....that has all changed. Now I also monogram 2" headbands and I'm using a couple of really cute fonts, mostly all lower case letters and the fabrics I've chosen are much more interesting and fun! I recently found some that looks like soccer balls! Can't wait to make those up for my daughters soccer team! I also give these as birthday gifts. All their friends love them.

Many people have asked if I can do their school. The answer is "YES"!! I can use your school colors or, if you can give me a uniform they've outgrown, I can cut it up and make the headband from it.

I have a large number of pics on my website for you to see, but I've been shopping and have so many new fabrics!! I even stumbled upon some great college team fabric. I only got three teams so far. Probably didn't buy enough yardage....I'm thinking it won't last long. I have Carolina Tar Heels, Duke Blue Devils and, of course, Maryland Terps. Bet they would look great in a mug too!

I still have a large selection of Vera Bradley and Lilly Pulitzer fabrics that I use to make headbands too. Just can't get enough cool fabric!!

I Love Mugs!!



These travel mugs were a great find. They make a great affordable gift and look gorgeous monogrammed or not. Nannette ordered these for Christmas gifts and asked us to monogram them all. Vera Bradley fabric is very busy so the monogram does not always jump out at you, but they are beautiful nonetheless. The Botanica mug is my personal favorite.
The mugs keep drinks cold or hot for hours and the only drawback I've found is that they do have to be hand washed and do not hold up well when the tailgate of your Suburban is shut on them. Thanks Danny!!

Thanks Honey
