Oh, I love these! I have a friend who is quite a klleir tennis player and who loves monograms, so this is the perfect gift for her. I, sadly, keep to the sidelines – my hand-eye coordination is so terrible I have trouble making the racket connect with the ball. 🙁 Hope your week is of to a wonderful start, Elizabeth! XO
