Tonight I folded and packed 95 neck ties to send to my friend in North Carolina who makes the most beautiful purses out of them. I'm constantly on the lookout out for good quality, clean ties when I am out "junking". Below is a picture of a purse she made me last winter.
Also, I had to share this picture of my beautiful little granddaughter who turned turned 14 last week. I'm not sure how old she was when this picture was taken. Nothing compares to the joys of being a grandmother!
I hope you're having a great weekend. I love the cooler temperatures!
Cool purse! I've heard a lot of people make things from mens ties.
ReplyDeleteCute GD! I'll bet that now she's really cute, Happy Birthday to her!
It was really cool here this morning! Not used to that. (yet)
Oh my how I laughed when I saw your post pic!! A good friend tried to get me to make a tie quilt with his collection about 30 years ago and I laughed at him and turned him down!! He probably has thrown them away by now~and I love the purse now!! Ain't life grand!! We need to be able to laugh at ourselves! Beautiful granddaughter!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat idea. Last week I saw a neck tie skirt on someones post. Plenty of them in the thrift stores and such wonderful material and colors! Happy fall!
ReplyDeleteThe purse is beautiful. Gorgeous granddaughter Happy Birthday to her.

I was at a yard sale in the spring and there was a HUGE box of ties being sold. I was told by 'the lady' that her husband HAD to have a new tie everyday for work--He never wore them twice. There were some great ties in there and I bought a several for my husband. I never thought that something else could be done with them like a bag--What a great idea!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool purse! Happy birthday to your granddaughter!
