Dad Sick of Ties? Here's a Better Use!

Chances are you gave Dad a necktie or two for Father's Day, that he no longer wears. I have a great way for you to recycle them!

A local college student turns men's ties into gorgeous silk handbags for women! Haley Anthonisen got a bunch of old ties from her Dad, and turned them into beautiful and unique purses - and gives a percentage of her sales to Women's Empowerment, which helps homeless women get their lives back on track. You can find the handbags on her sales website here -- but better yet, if you have ties you want to donate, she'd love to have them! Mail them, or drop them off:
