Dear Etiquette,

Who says you have to be a bride to procure monogrammed china and linens?  I for one, see no reason why I shouldn’t be able to gradually grow a collection of fabulous stoneware, fine china and linens donning my married initials which I have lovingly had for twelve years.  And while a registry at this point would frankly be tacky and out of the question (however, loved ones are encouraged to take note of this blog and plan accordingly… hint, hint, hint)… I surely can gift myself every once in a while with some swoon worthy additions to my entertaining fare.  In fact, I have been absolutely obsessed with the Sarah Drake Monogram Collection and dare say it’s the perfect start to my new initialed endeavours.
