The Tie Room needs constant up-keep because it has a bigly population. Around 800 pieces of the bow tie population resides quite happily in the old, tall card catalog, which I’ve shown y’all before. (It’s probably my fave piece of furniture, ever). Since I currently have over 2,500 bow ties, I would need at least 2 more old card catalogs just like it to house the rest of the critters in my collection, which is not practical for the size of the room. There’d be no room for me. Or for Skitter even.
Nevertheless, I am always on the hunt for interesting ways to house and/or display my little bow tie pals. And today I found—Voila! I found this fluorescent green and black tackle box to assist me in my current Tie Room organizing projects. It has the perfect amount of space to hold all of my small, diamond-point Bow Ties o’ the Day, plus room for me to collect more. As you can see here, it currently houses 27 diamond-point residents, with plenty of room for more in its main compartment. The tackle box is housing for my critters, and it helps me keep track of this style of bow. I haven’t fished in years, but I now have a reason to regularly visit the tackle boxes at Cabela’s.
