Monograms are so sweet
Starting a blog has been such a rewarding experience. I am regularly surprised by people’s kindness and the community that has been created through blogging. I have met so many new people and I feel like I’ve made friends too; this post is a testament to that.

I just recently received a beautiful gift in the mail; a lovely hand towel with the initial from my last name embroidered on it. The woman who sent it to me, although I have never met her, took enough time searching through my blog to really get to now me. The towel is the perfect colors for my guest bathroom; a chocolate brown “G” beautifully monogramed on a tea stained color towel. |
The fact that it is embroidered is such a personal touch and her thoughtfulness really brightened my day. The gift was chosen so carefully it was almost as if it had come from a long time friend. It is so amazing the people I have met through blogging and the experiences that I have had. It is really like a community.
The package arrived a few days ago and it was wrapped as sweet as the gift that I found inside of it. Attached was a hand written note that was really heartfelt.
Sarah authors a blog called Hyacinth for the Soul. She is the lovely lady who sent me this fabulous gift. Her blog is definitely worth a visit.
Below you will see how gorgeous the towel looks hanging from the towel bar in my guest bath. I just love the way it looks hanging atop my dark brown towel.
The first three people to comment on this post will receive a special gift as well. So don’t be shy!

Deana,
Your gift is simply beautiful. I have always enjoyed monogrammed items as they take you way back. Monagrammed hankies are one of my favorites. On my wedding day I carried a white lace hankie with a monogramed “A” on it in pink. It was a nice touch and took me back to the vintage things I love. Enjoy your new treasure and may it always bring a smile to your face!
