Planning a Romantic Dinner Menu for Valentine’s Day?

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

Don’t Forget the Best Romantic Wines, oh Valentine!

valentine heartValentine’s Day gift ideas are often hard to come by. The traditional “romantic” Valentine’s Day present ideas of flowers and chocolates can sometimes feel a bit boring. For someone special, we often want to really DO something special to show them how much we care.

Valentine’s Day Gifts for Men

romantic-valentines-dinnerDon’t dismiss the Valentine’s Day idea of a romantic dinner! They say the path to a man’s heart is through his stomach. This does not need to be scientifically proven since our grandmother’s have been heard saying it for generations! Plus it’s very logical:

  • Cooking is a caring and nurturing task
  • It takes time and thought and preparation
  • A full stomach on top of delightful taste sensations equals a very satisfactory situation. (more…)

The Art of Wine Cork Crafts

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

Thinking about wine cork crafts might be a bit difficult after you’ve just consume a bottle of wine or two, but it is only a matter of time before your post-wine self notices the steadily growing mass of bottles and corks in its possession.  Sadly, though not without reason, most people decide to either toss them or, less regrettably, recycle them (the bottles, at least).  However, amongst all that glass and all those corks rests massive potential for your creative side; and, indeed, wine cork crafts are just the beginning of the artistic journey—but an awesome beginning nonetheless. 

What follows is a short and sweet summary of ways to maximize your wine corks.

Wine Cork Board…A Message Board!

A message board made from wine corks?  You bet!  How cool would it be if you showed up one day to work with this sort of creation in your hands?  The physical makeup of a wine cork is perfect for storing tacks, pins, and anything else that is small and has a sharp point that you need in abundance (hey, let your imagination take you wherever you wish).  When you put enough corks together and frame them accordingly, you have yourself a message board waiting to be used at the home or the office.  Not only is making a wine cork board (aka corkboard) an artistic exercise; it is also a fine example of resourcefulness on your part.

Wine Cork Wreath…?

Wreaths are better when they’re wine cork wreaths (alright, I’m a little biased), and a few examples will serve to bolster this assertion:

They look absolutely amazing don’t they?  Do not overlook the possibility of using your wine corks for the holidays!  Whenever you stare at a wine cork, think about making a wine cork wreath…winecorkwreath2

All this talk about how great wine cork crafts are leaves one wondering something quite important:  Just how do you do all of this stuff?  Well, fortunately for all of us who wish to make the most out of our wine corks, there are plenty of resources available for just this purpose.  Two great places are http://www.craft-ideas-guide.com and http://www.crafterslovecrafts.com.  After looking over what these wisdom-packed places have to offer your corks, definitely start, or finish, building your supply of them with a few bottles from us.  Our corks will work fabulously with any wine cork crafts you have in mind in the near future.
