About me

Hi! I am Caryn Arnim, wife, mother of three boys-now men, "Nonna" to three precious grandchildren and the owner of a standard poodle, named Beau. I love designing and spending time with my family. 

I am a very active grandmother with my three grandchildren ranging in ages from 6 to 15 years of age. Needless to say, they keep their Nonna very busy  and I wouldn't have it any other way.

 In 2009 I decided to use my talents and opened an online store that specializes in personalized gifts. I wanted my store to be different from other online stores in that it would have unique and quality merchandise. I am pleased to say, I think I have done a pretty good job accomplishing just that! My jewelry lines are a combination of designer and high quality monogrammed items. I offer tech cases that can be designed by you, for you, monogrammed totes, personalized stationery and custom address stamps and much more! Visit www.thepolkadotmonkeys.com

Not long, after opening my store I started offering appliquéd and monogrammed clothing for babies and children. My designs are unique, hand made one of a kind items, using quality fabrics and clothing lines. I'm proud to say I have a long list of return customers that now email me with ideas and I try to create their visions. I love what I do and I love to create!

My husband and I live on an island along the gulf coast of Texas and love our quiet laid back life we have always dreamed of living. My dreams of exploring, creating and enjoying my life, is my passion these days!
