Be friends with your neighbor

I have been buying neckties online for weeks now, but that is all over. My neighbor just gave me boxes of ties from the 1960's and 70's.

The deck is the best place to lay the ties out and start putting color combinations together. Wow, that orange tie on the left really stands out.

Good combo - green, purple and mustard.

Look at this gem!

Not sure what to do with this one. (The tie, not the dog.)

I learned that you never know what treasures are hidden behind the walls of someone that is so close. Thanks neighbor.

Messenger Tie bag

  Lately, I  have been working on bags made out of ties. This one is a huge messenger bag that was made for my hula hoop instructor, Brianna. She wanted a bag that would fit her laptop and still have room for books.

I really get attached to these bags. Sometimes it is hard to part with them. With that said this is my favorite tie bag. The pink makes it just a little feminine but not over the top. It fits just under the armpit and holds a good amount of stuff.

So if you have some ties in your family that just sit around in the drawer, send them my way. I will create a fabulous, everyday, useful bag for you!

Hope you enjoy the tie bags....
