Over the river
and through the woods...
 
 
everyone’s coming to my house

rules of monogramming...

rule number 1
 
order of initials:
 
___  -  ___  -  ____
    first  -   last  -   middle
 
 



 
In March of 2008 a fire resulted in the razing of
two building on Polish Hill in Pittsburgh,  PA.
 
A ghost sign was revealed
 
 
A blast from the past of advertising
 
 
S is a blast from the past based on 16th century Gothic styles
LM a nod to traditional Librarian styles
 
 
first - middle - last….
That rule is a ghost around here!
