I have received such an amazing response to my Vintage Monogram Giveaway, that I thought I would add one more day to the deadline and pick two winners! Sound good? I’ll post the winners on Monday. To enter, you MUST follow the easy directions on the original post: {CLICK HERE!}
I thought you would enjoy a peek at my vintage monogram resources.
A couple are rare that I have found on either eBay or in a used book store. The best are old resources for jewelry and silver engraving.
Here’s an excerpt from The New American Etiquette, a vintage book published in 1941, in the chapter referring to linens for the bath- I thought you’d get a kick out of this:
MONOGRAMMING
Monogramming calls for so much more than mere embroidery of initials. Your monogram must be correct. They must be chosen with discrimination, suitable for the articles on which they are used, and they must be correctly placed. In every city the leading store handling linens will be able to advise you on this most important problem of good taste.FIRST PHOTO IN POST: My late Grandmother’s monogrammed brooch.

LOL! We must be cautious about our monograms, musn't we? It would never do to use them outside of socially acceptable norms. :)
I noticed the other day that Dover has several books on decorative and illuminated letters. I'd love to spend a day with your collection!
