Have you ever had a good look at the cork from your wine bottle ? ( no, not when tipsy trying to squeeze out the last drop ! )

They have the most marvelous designs on. I especially like the Rioja ones ...well I would I did live in Spain !

I display mine in this printer's box which I bought in Brighton when I was a student. I used to keep teeny ornaments in it but put the corks in when I was looking for some way to display them.

That day I also bought a dark grey Fedora & wore it with a black & white check dress & huge chunky necklace to my interview for a summer job on Brighton pier. I got the job but lost the hat when I realised how silly I looked wearing it. It wasn't quite me dahling !

  4. I love champagne corks meself... all those shooting stars on the base of the corks...!!

    I think I might have bought that fedora! I wore a dark grey one I bought from Brighton for years until it was wearing thin and then I lorst it on a coach trip. Sigh.

    Well if you need someone just to drink the wine for you...!!!

  6. Loving the cork display - I've been saving corks and wondering what to do with them. I have trouble throwing things away!
