Crazy For This Psycho Bunny
When offered this awesome opportunity, I was immediately drawn to this bright. pink. paisley.
Do I love pink? Yep.
Paisley? Always.
Easy choice, though the Hibiscus Tie was oh so tempting.
So, my tie came in the mail a few days ago. Along with a kind note and logo decals, the tie itself was well packaged in not only a plastic sleeve but a reusable tie travel bag. I quickly put on my pleasant piece of pink and paisley perfection (please pardon the alliteration) and headed out for the day.
To knot or not to knot... or unknot... or... whatever.
That night, I carefully unknotted the tie to see how it held up. Quality fabric and construction are evident in a tie when it easily returns to form at the end of the day. And? No creases or loose threads here. The silk is quite sumptuous and the colors are just as vibrant as they appear. Another positive about this tie's construction - it was hand made here in this good ol' country between Canadia and Meh-he-co.
The price? Ah, the price. You, my dearestest readers know 99% of my tie collection comes from the thrift shops 'o the world. However, you also know that I'm prone to splurging a few times a year on ties that I simply must own. Even without the offer from Psycho Bunny, I think this $100 tie would have found its way home to me. So, hop on over (hop... like a rabbit... I know) to Psycho Bunny and enjoy the goods.

Today at the Thrift - Vintage Pocket Squares
I found these circa 1950's pocket squares amongst a box of women's scarves at a local antique shop.
The four cost only $3.
