When my friend Alexandra Rowley's father’s health went into steep decline, she began photographing his belongings three weeks before he died and finishing more than two years later. Among the items were her father’s ties "which he wore nearly every day and bear the stains of a man who was both formal and careless." Beautiful. *[Thank you Alexandra.]
how beautiful to preserve his belongings in such a loving and careful manner. so lovely + touching.

I love this idea. I have quilt made out of all of my great grandpas ties and it is my favorite. It has a story.
