By Any Other Name

Quilly | February 23, 2010

Do you have any idea how difficult it is to find monogrammed anything with my name on it — or that I can have my name put on? I have been trying for years and if I find a place with decent quality merchandise, they usually only take names with 7 – 10 letters, [...]
