Monogrammed Pillows



Right now I am uploading all my new items to my online store, The Polka Dot Monkeys, and I am so obsessed with everything! I am loving all my new items for the home, children and women. Sorry men, you are next on my list to get upscaled!

Some of the items I am adding are luxurious monogrammed throw pillows and I just love, love them! My southern side loves the fact that they are mono-grammed and the fabrics and colors are to die for! Adding a dramatic modern pattern to some of your existing pillows can change the look of the whole room. These mono-grammed pillows are handmade in the USA, measure 16" X 16", come with pillow inserts and will make a statement when placed in any room. Monogrammed Pillows The Polka Dot Monkeys

I am an asymmetric person. That means I like everything slightly off balance and I am not talking about crooked pictures, lol! I love groups of three, five, seven-you get the idea. Three pillows placed on a couch with the one in the center being monogrammed or the outer two, really sets a room off. eclectic family room design

A quiet unnoticed chair in the corner comes to life with a bold modern monogrammed pillow. I absolutely love it when I walk into a room and cannot figure it out exactly, if you know what I mean. To me, a room that has many areas of interest makes me want to stay a while. eclectic living room design by orange county interior designer Fluegge Interior Design, Inc

Nothing looks better than a bedroom with a bed that just looks like it is waiting for you! A bed usually is the focal point of any bedroom and it needs to be dressed ready for you or your guests.

A bed always looks best with at least five pillows on it. Two pillows in the back against the headboard, with two more placed in front of those and then you can place one fab monogrammed pillow in front of those.

Spring is in the Air!

I am so excited about all the new items The Polka Dot Monkeys is about to offer! The Paper Menu is a line of stationery that I have followed for years and just love. Marie, the owner, designs everything herself and it is easy for her to customize. They not only carry a line of stationery, but also clothing lines; and you guessed it, you can personalize everything, stay tuned! Also, I am in love with the cupcake bands that are personalized......COMING VERY SOON!

Personalized styrofoam cups that are great for any occasion, even everyday use. You can have them printed with your name, initial or monogram. You also can have things like Arnim's River House or Smith's Lake House as well as add your own emblems like a fleur-de-lis, crab, fish, anchor flower, peace sign and much more. They are great for birthdays, anniversaries, graduations as well: It's Ashlyn's Birthday with a peace sign and date would be a great idea!

I just love personalized ribbon and The Polka Dot Monkeys will have it soon. I love this ribbon because it is a high quality ribbon and the colors are scrumptious! You know that you can use this ribbon on bags as well....that is if you do not want to wrap something, but if you do, personalized wrapping paper is on my list too!

Everyone needs yard flags and I will carry large and small with assorted patterns and colors; personalized, of course!

Check out the new wooden personalized cutting boards in the "Home Decor" Department. There are many sizes and shapes and come in maple or walnut and trendy handles. Made in the USA.  Prices are great and they make a fabulous shower, wedding or anniversary gift as well as a house warming gift for someone special.

Enough chit chat! I have to get to work and load all of the new items.....so start thinking about what you would like!
