It's Greek to Me!

It is once again that time of year. Yes, it is time to go back to school. With school, comes waking up early; homework and lots of running around. However, going back to school is yet another new beginning. After a nice summer break, it's time for new friends, new notebooks and new clothes!
If your little one is getting ready to plod off to preschool for the first time or getting ready move up to "big kid" class. Getting a cute applique' on a t-shirt, dress or jon-jon will be the perfect way to make a fabulous first impression on all those other eager classmates! We not only have initials, but we also have a vaiety of images from which to choose. The crab and whale below are just the beginning. There are trees, ladybugs, elephants and many others. We can even do an applique' initial and monogram your child's name right over the letter. This is one of my favorites!
For many local college students, back-to-school means Sorority Recruitment, or "Rush," as it was once called. We are now carrying lots of items for our sororities and fraternities. We have applique' pillowcases and towels in the store, and we are also doing letter shirts. For letter shirts, we will have a selection of t-shirts and fabrics, but you are welcome to bring in your own to fit your personality or that of your Little! We will try our best to make it as special as can be!
Even adults can get in on the fun of applique'! We have already done several applique' initials on make-up cases. They would also be so cute on the waffle-weave towel wraps sold in the Hallmark store!
Come by, and check it all out! We can't wait to see you downtown!

Make it Your Own! Have it Monogrammed!

As stereotypes go, we Southerners have quite a few with which to contend. Some we find are more favorable than others, but there is a basis of truth in them all. Across the country, there is nowhere that loves monogramming more than the South. As a child is born; a grandaughter is wed or a good friend reaches a milestone in life, there is no better way to mark the occasion than to give a gift with a personal touch.
At Nancy's Hallmark, we can help you with just that. We have been adding that personal touch to a multitude of items for over a year now. From Grove chairs and coolers to onesies and towels, we can do it all. We are also in full swing monogramming uniforms for back-to-school. In addition, don't forget items such as backpacks, pencil cases and lunch totes!
Speaking of school, remember to send those college kids back in style. No dorm room is complete without monogrammed pillows, blankets and laundry bags to bring all those dirty clothes home on the weekend!
We have many items in the store that are begging to be monogrammed, but we are also more than happy to monogram items brought in by customers. We are including some examples here, but your imagination is the limit. Just stop by the store with items to be personalized, and we will be happy to work with you to give them that special touch!
