Name in Lights


I want to reiterate strongly that I am not a fan of the monogram. I've always found them stuffy and silly in virtually any permutation. But when it comes to kids, all bets are off: they need to develop a love for letters, especially their own.

And what could be a better (and sneakier) way to throw a little ABC into their little lives than through this fabulous light fixture? Created by artist (NOT actress) Amy Adams, each little light shines a different letter of your choice. You could suspend these in a corner, with a lone first initial. You could spell out a three letter name in a staggered arrangement (for cost purposes, I wouldn't recommend anything longer). Or, you could go for the simple ABC, CAT or DOG. So many lighting options!

The light's bisque color also gives you tons of latitude in terms of kiddie decor. Check out the letter light at www.rompstore.com. At $110.00 each, these lights aren't exactly cheap, but what price would you place on literacy, anyway?
