Okay, I had to jump in here, because I love ties!  AND... they are not just for men!

I use to work at a Van Heusen Store that sells men's dress shirts and business ties.  We were encouraged to wear ties to show them off, so I would always pick up the ones I liked when they were on the "clearance" rack for a couple of dollars.  Before you know it, I had quite a collection!
Sorry to say that some of my favorite ones are no longer in my possession, since my son got a job at a bank and needs to wear a tie, he took a few of the animal ties I had.  One was a very colorful parrot tie and another has a wolf on it  (my personal favorite).  Gee, I don't know why he didn't want any of the floral ones????  LOL :P  I don't wear them anymore, but they are pretty to look at!

Oh yeah, the floral ties are cotton and the other two are silk.
