Chinese made tie from the late eighties.

tie forty two

Wednesday 13th March 2013

Yesterday I found this tie .... it was wrapped up as a present and addressed to me. The really nice thing is ..... I do not know who gave it to me.
A sort of random act of kindness - it makes everyone feel good - the person giving the gift and the person recieving it as you treat everyone as if it was 'them' who gave it to you ..................... and it makes you smile!
