What's A Name Got To Do With Anything?

The name of my blog is monograms and ballgowns and I thought I'd explain why I chose to call it this. When I was little I used to go to my friend Abbey's house. She had the most exquisite collection of dress up clothes imaginable. After I would leave Abbey's I would always wish that I could live at her house and play dress up with those clothes all day and night. Unfortunately though, I could not and instead went home to dress my Barbies. Hence the latter part of the name. Because I was so enthralled by dressing up I also was very interested in having tea time, a favorite of mine since the age of 3. Somehow I always pictured the Queen having tea with friends that she invited by way of monogrammed invitations. That is how I came up with the name. And now, I will show you some of my favorite new dresses and some of my favorite monogrammed products.
