What did I tell you?

I knew Mom would like my new hat....




This one is from a pair of Dad's jeans and a curtain bought at a church tag sale Saturday last.


Now to figure out what to do with over three dozen 50s and 60s ties that belonged to my grandfather that Mom recently found in an old cedar chest. Not sure if I can bear to take them apart! Anybody got any good links or ideas?

I've seen clutch bags made from ties, but you have a lot there so I am going with Eliza Rae, the skirt could look amazing.
