Initials and monograms are always popular in decor. So popular in fact, that by the time I get around to finding something cute, the only options left are random letters like Q and X. It’s kind of a bum deal. Make more A’s, monogram people, is that so hard?
But, lucky for you rare Q and X people, your stuff will probably go on clearance. That’s how Tif bought this snazzy Y pillow for $5. She snazzified it even further with fabric flowers to cover the unnecessary letter, and poof! (or should I say pouf!) A sweet custom pillow for cheap.

I lucked out the other day and found personailzed pottery barn christmas stockings with Kate, Sam, and Jacob on them… that is our whole family except me. Sometimes you luck out with the popular names I guess.
