Wine Cork Board Memo Strip Rustic
~ 5x13
5" x 13 1/2"
Since this item is made with reclaimed materials, dings and "character" is to be expected in the wood and corks.
I hand make each frame, so each one is a little different. Using different corks, rescued from local restaurants. These wine corks came from Luce Enteca Wine Bar in Powell Ohio.

The board comes ready to hang either horizontally or vertically using the frame itself, no extra hardware, so it will lay flat on your wall.
Perfect gift for the wine lovers or "hard to buy for" people. great to hang above your desk for decoration or to de-clutter your desk of all those post it notes!

Upcycled Coasters
Upcycled ceramic tile coasters really catch the eye!
Kim’s coasters are made from regular old household tiles that were headed for the dump before she added imagery using vintage maps and stamps to them, and sealed them with a waterproof coating. Kim specializes in recycled jewelry, such as pendants, rings, and cuff links made from old typewriter keys, dominoes and Scrabble tiles, but personally, these coasters are my favorite!
Kim is all about recycling…

Potato Stamp Art - Christmas Cards
You will need...
1. mini cookie cutters I found (you can always draw your own design onto the potato),
2. one medium/large potato,
3. a pearing knife,
4. an ink pad,
5. and recycled homemade paper.
How to make the stamp...
1. First you cut the potato in half and take the cookie cutter of your choice, center it, and press down firmly into the potato.
2. With the cookie cutter still in the potato, cut about 1/4″ from the top, throwing away all the excess potato edges.
3. Remove the cookie cutter, and voila you have your stamp!
How to make your cards, tags, etc...
1. Next, choose your paper.
2. Cut the paper down to size (mine are 4″x6″ postcards) and stamp away!
3. Make sure to ink your stamp well the first time and maybe use some test paper too.
