Looking for a Star Wars Pillow Case

I sold a Pillow Case to be used in the Movie Grown Ups 2. You know how those things work, sometimes they make it, sometimes they don't. The movie opens today and I still don't know if it made it. So here is my challenge. The first person to post a picture of the Pillow on my facebook page (or post) will get a 40% off coupon for one shopping trip in my shop poppysgardengate.

Here's what it looks like.




You can use whatever means you can (phone, whatever) to get me a picture of this in the movie. Be creative and don't forget to like my page too.

Bow Ties for Guys - The Easy Tie Way

Bow Tie are so popular now. I just had to create some fun ties for the coolest guys. I know, the really cool guys know how to tie them, but who has the time? And those little bungee things make your ties all twisty and fall down and are a pain to adjust right?



My ties are on a super comfortable Grosgrain ribbon with velcro closure that is adjustable and so easy to wear. They are even comfortable enough to wear on a bare neck. Women can be styling too. The great thing about them (here comes some technical stuff) is that the ribbon is the same width as the knot, so no twisting and falling. I mean, unless your friends lift your collar for a closer inspection, there's no way they'll know it's not knotted.


































Some ties are made from vintage fabrics, some are my own custom design that I have printed. I can make you, anything you want. This is just a sampling of the fun ties I carry in my shop. Stop by Poppy's Garden Gate for more.

Bow Ties and Cool Guys

I so love Dink in this picture. With his untamed longish hair, he reminds me of a young Beethoven or Mozart.  The Music Note bow tie makes it perfect.

I added bow ties to my shop this year. I noticed that they are becoming popular, so I started making my own version of genre and themed ties and have done very well with them so far. Good to watch current trends.

I was wondering exactly who is wearing all these ties. I sold one to someone working on a movie set and a Captain America tie to someone from Newtown.




I was remembering when I lived in Utica, NY. No one EVER wore suits there. It was a thing. If you ever HAD to wear a suit, you had to dress it down with jeans. This was for funerals and weddings.

I remember seeing a man on a cel phone in our parking lot in a three piece suit. Several of us went to the window and stared. "He's definitely not from around here". I wonder if things are the same in Utica, or if anyone there would wear one of my Bow Ties. I've never sold any there, so I doubt it.

I think that some guys won't think it's cool to wear a bow tie, no matter what is trending.

But the cool thing about them is that they can be worn with just about anything. They look better on a shirt. But My bow ties can even be worn by girls with a t-shirt.  Now that's adorable isn't it?

You can find my bow ties at my poppysgardengate shop on Artfire. poppysgardengate.artfire.com

Here's a link that will take you straight to all of the Bow Ties I have.
