Pottery Barn—the well-known chain of home furnishing stores in the United States—in reality does not have a "you break it, you bought it" policy[1], but rather writes off broken merchandise as a loss, as do most large American retailers.[2]
So, Sissy and I were browsing the mall a few weeks ago and happened into Pottery Barn... some nice stuff in there (hee hee) and in the back I saw these really cute frames (everything was black and white) with a single letter in them. I had an AHA moment... I could recreate them, MUCH much cheaper... and here is my version of our surname letter... simple font... and a 4"x6" frame from Big Lots for only $3. They had frames up to 8"x10"... some with the upper case letter, white frames with white letter in a black background, lower case letter with a single line box around the letter... so many different ways to make them (all in black and white)... What a perfect housewarming gift!!!

This is the perfect gift and how simple and elegant! LOVE It!
I love Pottery Barn but rarely actually buy anything from there. In a my dreams, a Pottery Barn decorator comes to my house and makes it look just like the magazines. :) Dreams. They're good to have, right?
