Corked History

This time of year conjures up crafting memories of seasons past.  Last year I took our 10-years collection of wine and champagne corks and gave them new life as a cork wreath.  Each and every cork had a unique texture, scent and story.  I held out on using the few synthetic corks that made it into the collection until I absolutely needed them; although they too had their place in time.  I used this simple method to assemble the wreath.  I added a few holly berries and gold branches to give it some holiday spirit.
