A Garden of Silk and Satin Flowers

As you may know, I grew up listening to the old proverb, “clothes maketh the man” and the saying “march to the beat of my own drum”, so even though I know they are somewhat out of fashion these days in business circles, I do like a nice tie with a smart suit. When it comes to fashion, I set my own trends and make my own fashion, so even if they are passé, I love wearing beautifully patterned and unusual ties in beautiful colours and patterns.

 

This year the FFF+ Group have decided to have a weekly challenge called “Snap Happy”. A different theme chosen by a member of the group each week, and the image is to be posted on the Monday of the week.

 

This week the theme, “unreal flowers” was chosen by me!

 

To suit the theme I decided to celebrate my love of floral silk and satin brocades by creating a collage of my most beautiful and brightest floral ties.
