happy <3 day

Hope everyone has a love-filled long weekend.

Drink some wine. And then save your corks so you can make neat tonally ordered sculptures on Sunday afternoons.







What about a cork bulletin board with the pretty pink parts facing out? I have a few more corks to work with.

I'm not into wine but you make me want to start drinking a lot of it so I can do this.

Cute idea. I love it. Now if only I can pop enough wine and champagne, he he. Happy love day.
Stay chic!

another use for all those corks is a trivet. my wine loving, cork collecting parents made each of their 4 children a mahogany/cork trivet for x-mas one year and i use mine all the time!

btw, totally love your blog... just spent the last two work days trolling through the entire thing from start to finish. as a fellow graphic designer/former solana beach resident/DIY loving person your blog is an inspiration!

Such a wonderful idea! The color of each cork is so lovely and unique. I may have to borrow this great idea.

We just started saving our corks...and I wasnt sure exactly what I wanted to do with them...but you've given me the inspiration I need. Let the collecting continue!

These are fabulous! My husband is a sommelier . . .well, to tell the whole story, he's an Italian sommelier whom I met in an Italian winebar here in Paris the second day I moved to town!!!

So needless to say, corks are important to us, and I definitely have cork boards made with memorable corks.

But I looooove love love the idea of inverting them - the heart with its stained corks is just so simple and elegant.

This is an idea to keep up my sleeve! Thanks!

(Found you through Jenna Hein's blog, which I found through Style Me Pretty).

I love this and want to use this heart cork concept and put it in a shadow box as a wedding present.... any suggestions on how to keep the corks in place? I am in the brainstorming phase.... thanks for sharing.
