giveaway: sweetheart tie

these made to order neckties are among my favorite etsy finds. fieldguided is a lovely shop with handmade ties for the man in your life. what i love most is the secret embroidery on the backside of each one of a kind tie. anabela will stitch the name (or pet name) of your sweetie into the winning tie. {and for those of you without a love interest, i'm sure every dad would delight in a valentine from his favorite daughter.}

if you'd like to enter to win a red plaid sweetheart necktie, leave me a comment on this post by thursday, january 29th. i'll announce the winner on friday, january 30th. thank you, anabela!

  8. Being a tall woman with a tall husband, I frequently have to modify my husband's ties to make them longer. It's kind of fun to feel like a domestic goddess every time I sew ties.

    He's in law school, so we cannot necessarily afford lots of expensive "tall" ties. I would absolutely love to give him this tie, and I know he'd be proud to wear it for a presentation, court appearance, or argument.

    I have absolutely fallen in love with your site! Thanks for all of the great ideas! :)

  21. When I met my husband, plaid (on flannel, especially) was his trademark. He'd even pair one plaid tie with a totally different plaid shirt to wear to church (not knowing they didn't look good together). He would love this tie! Thanks for the giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  22. i've been debating buying one of these ties for awhile now. they are so perfect!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Ilove you blog and I really hope I win this tie. Thanks

  24. My husband wore the same plaid tie everyday for a year on his mission. By the end it was held together with duct tape. I think it's about time (10 years later) that the man gets a new plaid tie!

    ReplyDelete
  25. i love these (along with everyone else). such a great gift!

    I really do love your site. My husband would like the tie, and it would be fun to give it to him for Valentine's Day. We met on Valentine's Day, 8 years ago!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Very cute. The stitched tag is so sweet. Usually the ties I pick out for my guy are a little flashier, and he's not always on board. But this is just perfect and traditional enough for him :)

    ReplyDelete
