Yesterday I found two of the neatest things at a garage sale....
Look at all of those great bottle corks! And they were
already assembled into these wonderful bulletin boards.
already assembled into these wonderful bulletin boards.
I had no idea that boards such as these are getting upwards of $70 on Etsy!
Really? My price? Just $2 for both!
I gave the frames a bit of oiling and glazing to darken them.
They also needed a bit of hanger help.
One board had no good wire on the back -
the other looked like this...
Everything was in place to make these 'wall ready'. I just redid it a bit...
But here's the rest of the story that the seller shared with me.
These boards were obviously handmade and have a few imperfections.
But dear David Parke - who appears to be the crafter... had dementia!
Yet somehow working with tools was still working for him.
I love knowing that. Thank you David!
