happy memories

This Christmas wreath on a door in Romsey has given me an idea for a New Year's resolution: to collect enough material to make one similar next year.....

A task that is now not that easy!
Looks as though you are going to have a very merry time collecting materials ready for next Christmas.

Thought it was only Australia that has screwtop wine seals?

Super cork wreath some ones brilliant idea. Now you are going to be busy searching for wine with corks happy hunting. Lovely capture and find. ( You could always ask a local pub to save them for you).

Love this!

Brilliant idea but we would have a problem finding corks too. Champagne / sparkling ones are easier but even they are changing.
December 26th, 2014  
great idea
December 26th, 2014  
Haha, that does sound like a good challenge. I know some people who could set up a factory for these. They have plenty of materials for this :)

Very clever recycling!

Result of many opened wine bottles! You certainly got out and about on Christmas Day!

this is such a clever wreath - love this !!

I haven't done a survey but I would say that only about 20% of our bottles of wine now have corks (That's in our family here - we buy from all over the world through a wine club!)

I'm glad we got out and about - raining steadily here now on Boxing Day! (Nearly time for a turkey sandwich....)

A wonderful idea and a great shot - Fav

This is a lovely wreath and idea. There are so many projects that can be done with wine corks, that is worth the sacrifice of drinking wine to collect the corks... LOL. Actually last night I began a project with corks.

@anazad511

Aha - look forward to seeing your project with corks maybe!

Cool picture. Congratulations on making the Trending Page.

Oh this is lovely; wouldn't the same made out of the screw tops!
December 26th, 2014  
Great find!
December 26th, 2014  
Very nice!
December 26th, 2014  
No corked bottles are few and far between... but great dear and shot..

@quietpurplehaze had lunch at a vineyard in Provence last year where the winemakers were adamant they would never go to screw caps.
December 26th, 2014  
Yes lovely! Will have to stick to fizz to get enough corks!
December 26th, 2014  
Very cool wreath! I can see why you would like to make one!
December 26th, 2014  
Ha...I am sure a few 365ers would be happy to help you out!!
December 27th, 2014  
Such fun!
December 27th, 2014  
This is really clever!!! Great shot!!!
December 27th, 2014  
hehe I see a lot of wine for you next year ;) Lovely shot and wreath!

@princessm

Yes, I guess most of our bottles with corks come from France, Spain or Portugal - but plenty from these countries also have screw tops.
December 27th, 2014  
This is clever!!
December 27th, 2014  
Very clever idea, yes corks are an endangered species.
December 28th, 2014  
I `ll n`t do this. Neighbour`s are thinking I`m a drinker. Not that I care what they think about me.
