My husband often has to wear a tie to work. Lately, he has been saying he would like to try a bow tie.

But what kind?

For his birthday in February, I bought him this wooden bow tie from Two Guys Bow Ties. It is the coolest. Thing. Ever.

The bow tie I purchased is called The Phloyd.

One of the owners of the shop has a wife who blogs at Kara Pasley Designs. She used to work at Anthropologie creating amazing displays. Now she has her own design company with her husband. I think her style is so cool.

I had the bow tie engraved on the back with a special saying only known to the two of us.

He has not worn it yet. But it is a beautiful wearable message from me.

It’s The Little Things: a sentimental art accessory.

Have you seen these before? Aren’t they the coolest? I think they would be so neat in those vintage weddings that are so popular now.
