Did this vintage postcard lass give her daddy the traditional necktie for Father's day? She might have also pampered him with the book 'Neckcothitania' which contained proper cravat tying instructions. It was also the first book to use the word ‘tie’ in association with neck wear.
But watch out little lady! The stiffly starched Victorian shirt collors we're nicknamed 'Patricide.' This is after a story where a son embraced his Father and killed him with his sharp collar!
Happy Pre-Father's Day! Beware of dangerous clothy fashion statements!

When my father died, I found most of my Father's Day gifts neatly stuck away in the back of his closet.
Cute.

I am endlessly fascinated by your postcards and comments...
Just to let ya'll know.. Bibi has a blog about: Belgrade and Serbia seen through the eyes of a long-term ex-pat.
I didn't know a thing about her stomping ground until I met Bibi!
These images are so cool. And my dear, your site design looks amazing... I know, Shannon, she's a total genius.
