Ties, Ties, Ties

Today we spent most of our day helping my mom move. Even though the studio isn't quite ready to welcome all her stuff, we took advantage of the available help and wonderful weather and got it done! One of the last things to be moved from the duplex over to the studio was a tie rack, FULL OF MY DAD'S TIES! I knew that my dad had quite a collection of them, but I'm not sure I knew exactly how many that meant! There were all sorts. So, we laid them all out, and started going through them. There were quite a few left over from his travelling and singing days. I immediately spotted the one he wore at my wedding, and there were all the piano ties. While stories were being told of when he wore which tie, we carefully distributed them between me, Jennifer, and all 5 of our children. My dad was quite a character, and it definitely was shown in the assortment of his ties! I came home with quite a handful and now I am pondering what I should do with them. I am not the sort of person to just "have" them. I want to do something with them. Anybody out there have any kinds of creative ideas??? I have some, but I'd like some input!
