Not to sound like a win-o...

  Sooooo...aside from enough coffee to keep both caribou & starbucks in business singlehandedly, my hubby and I also enjoy wine...lots of it. I'm not saying we drink to excess just that we like to pop a bottle open every so often (not our fault that happens to be QUITE OFTEN, lol)

  Anywho...when we first started dating in 2004 and I discovered our mutual love of fermented grapes, I made an almost unconscious decision to save the wine cork from our 1st bottle of wine together. Well come to find out that 1st bottle of wine was far from our last to be had together and I (not so unconsciously) kept the cork from every bottle we shared together. Needless to say after 6 years (even with a few lost along the way) I had quite a collection of wine corks  :)

  A few years ago I found a clearanced very large shadow box at hobby lobby with broken glass and of course I bought it not having a clue what to do with it...then it hit me and *BAM* new "cork" board (literally) for my kitchen filled with a myriad of memories of some of our most cherished, QUIET times as a couple...as wine is normally uncorked after kiddos are in bed, lol
gotta love the one in the lower middle...and yes! that was from a real bottle of wine, lol

    This looks really cool. I love the BIG ASS. My husband and I love wine too but I never think to keep the corks but then I see something like this or cute little stamps and I think man I need to keep them. Actually my parents keep theirs and whenever my siblings and I go home we have cork fights and hide them in our luggage.
    Great idea. Thanks for sharing Hammer & Thread
