Show us your TIES

Interesting but I can't decide if I want to spend $12 on this. I think I have Widebrimitis. :p

Here's the tie in action:

I think it's beautiful. I bought it because of the pattern and the gold thread and the beautiful, deep blue colour.

On the back, it says...

Yesterday while helping a friend clear out a house, I stuck my hand in a box of ties and came up with this peekaboo. Didn't see any others, but there was quite an assortment of ties from different decades, including a couple with tags like "every thread hand loomed by Indians of so-and-so tribe, Colorado." This is the only one I brought home, as a surprise for my husband, but I suggested my friend keep that box and sort through it carefully.

I've been very impressed with the ties here over the past few posts! I had a lucky week myself here ($5 a piece)

Nice! I'll say it again, it just amazes me at how many tie designs there must have been. I usually have my limit on how much I'll pay for ties, but I'd probably have made an exception and paid five bucks for the one on the right.

Me too, I generally won't go over 5 unless it's really special, but I had to buy all the ones the lady had (in wearable condition) or else I would've kicked myself later.

She kind of reminds me of a cross between Joan Collins and Valentina Cortese...
