Collections: S. Joey's Clip on Ties

Collection: Clip On Ties
Name: S. Joey B.
Location: Raleigh, NC
Size: 150 Ties
Value: $450

"Thrift stores are like therapy, you have to go in order to get results. I am always on the lookout for vintage clip on ties. Originally they were on display in my home office but grew to fill a wall..."

"I have paired them down to my favorites and utilized discarded retail fixture grid to display them above my headboard. Included is a pic of the first 3 that started the collection. The patterns and colors caught my attention, and at around $3 per tie it was an easy collection in which to add."

Thanks, S. Joey!

so hilarious! I can see someone saying it's not their thing, but I can't see it failing to bring a smile.

you ever watch Mystery Science Theater 3000? There was one funny line where they joked, "His shirt just screams British business executive". i pass the comment to you in a loving way. :)
