Three cheers for custom pennants!

I used to love the show Happy Days--remember Arnold's and all the sports pennants hanging all over the walls? (You do remember Happy Days, right? I can't be that old.) I guess that's why I loved these personalized felt pennants from Kris…

Three cheers for custom pennants!
I used to love the show Happy Days--remember Arnold's and all the sports pennants hanging all over the walls? (You do remember Happy Days, right? I can't be that old.) I guess that's why I loved these personalized felt pennants from Kristine Kaye which made me feel so nostalgic.

How cool would it be to have a pennant made with your kid's name in his favorite colors and maybe throw in a number (like his age) to boot? Every one of the letters is hand cut which makes them more special than something machine printed. Or, you can just opt for a smaller initial pennant.

If you really want to go crazy, get a single initial pennant for each letter of your child's name to hang them together on a wall. Just be careful, since I'd imagine kids with long names like Alexandria could have rooms that end up looking like a grand opening at a car dealership. -Betsy

These super spirited felt pennants are available at Mahar Drygoods - and save 15% on your entire order through 8/31/09 when you enter code COOLMOMMAHAR at checkout!
