Photo Hunt - Thirteen
Perhaps I should title the post "clash of the tie-tans" The subject for this week's Photo Hunt is thirteen. So here are thirteen of my work ties. As you can see I have a liking for William Morris, floral and stripe patterns.
Oh I love the ties! I thought of doing 13 handbags or the 13 displayed tea cups - but finally went with the venetian glass yet again, for the third PhotoHunt in a row.
Very cool. I like the blue marble looking one. :) Great choice for the theme. It was a tough one this week for me. I also chose to post thirteen things.
Looks a bit bright for WM - phsychodelic even, Very cheerful - they must look forward to seeing you at work. Have a good break before donning one next... BTW do you rotate or pick at random?
Wow! You have great taste and I like your collection of work ties. I counted that there are 13 on this picture. I am sure you have more than that. Happy photo hunting.
Jams, such beautiful ties! I love William Morris patterns too. If I came to visit you at work I'm sure all I'd have to say is "I want to see the guy with the colorful flowery tie!" :D

ReplyDeleteNothing from the Jerry Garcia Tie collection. Neither the Rush Limbaugh brand.
ReplyDeleteOf course you'd have to store one on the extreme left and the other on the extreme right of your closet....
Wow I can't imagine either is Saville Row standard tailoring!
