Several of you have noticed and pointed out that the last several posts - Harper has had monogrammed outfits on. And most of you know by now that I am a monogramming maniac. And most of you think I'm crazy.
And most of you are right. ha!
And most of you are right. ha!
But Most of you will be glad to know that I just finished sorting out Harper's spring/summer clothes and there are hardly ANY that have any form of a monogram.You might to sit down.
ha!
I get a zillion e-mails that ask me where I get her clothes and monogrammed things. I thought it might just be easier to write a quick post and answer your questions instead of typing a zillion responses (even though I LOVE answering your e-mails and I LOVE hearing from you - but I'm sure you who have e-mailed me have noticed that I'm the world's worst e-mail responder. I'm trying. I really am.)
The answer is kind of a hard one because I'm really not much help. I bought a lot of her monogrammed things before I ever got pregnant - just hoping one day I would have a "Harper" to wear them. It was my HOPE closet. And then after we found out it was indeed a girl up until now - I've been given so many lovely gifts and that is where she got a lot of her personalized stuff. And this sweet blogger who has a daughter Harper and is a very gifted seamstress - sent me a TON of "Harper" hand-me-downs (which are 2/4 of these pictures). I have mostly bought off of etsy or ebay and I don't do good at keeping what sellers I buy from so I'm just not much help.
One tip I have found is I often keep a watch on ebay for "H monogrammed" items and I've bought several boutique, custom CUTE hand-me-down monogrammed clothes for cheap! A lot that I'm saving for older ages. Try it with whatever initial you are looking for. Or try www.themonogramswap.com.I'm a big fan of hand me downs and consignment at this age. Pretty much 90% of Harper's wardrobe for the rest of this year I bought second hand and I could die from all the cuteness. I'm saving everything until we see if we end up with a second daughter (when/if we have another child) and then I'll be excited to pass these clothes on as well!
I also get asked a lot if I will sell or give away Harper's custom clothes. Right now I'm so sentimental about them that I want to keep them and make them into a quilt for her when she's older. In another year or two - I might change my mind but right now I'm not letting go of anything.
I would love to link to cute personalization stores or baby clothes stores but I don't want to leave anyone out and I know I would forget cute shops so I thought I would add a MckLinky and if you have a cute etsy shop or website where you sell personalized children's clothes or items or baby boutique stuff- link up and everyone who has been asking me - y'all can shop away!!!!! (and I am going to stay FAR away because we do not need anything more!) :-)
Okay - you can go back to thinking I'm crazy now!
