 What contemptible scoundrel stole the cork from my lunch? ~ W. C. Fields So, is yours one of those families who like to save corks? Well, mine
is. It's a habit that seems to go on throughout the generations of my
family. At one point in time, I remember a scare about the worlds
supply of natural cork running out and the eventuality of having only
synthetic corks to use. This, I must admit, is not something that I can
verify nor have witnessed at all. There seems to be no shortage of
wine, and no shortage of natural cork.  Still,
I still continue my obsession with saving corks! Several years back,
my brother gifted us all with hotplates made from some of the corks he
had collected. This was especially appreciated since my brother's good
taste afforded a nice display of a wide variety. Kits for projects like
this are available in many common house-ware stores. It's always a good idea
to have an end purpose in mind (like my brother's cork hotplates) for
anything that you like to collect. Collecting can be a fun pastime, but
finding a way to enjoy and share your collections is a way to enrich
your life. May 15, 2011 |
