I have been searching too because I started colectiong ties at garage sales a couple of years ago. Ties are not being worn much any more so there are lots of ties out there for sale. I probably have up to 400 ties now. :shock: And so many of them are gorgeous made out of silk and oh gee just out standing. Anyway I came across this blog looking for things to do with the ties. :D
Here is a neck tie blog. Check it out. :D
