Upcycled Wine Stopper and Organizational Board

This last weekend, not only did I go to Junk Bonanza but I hit up an occasional shop in the small town of Farmington, Minnesota called Occasionally Yours.  They sell local artist work including some upcycled work. So I did make one purchase this weekend, a wine stopper. 
How beautiful is this?




I also saw this board made from an old cork board, covered by a burlap coffee bag and then a yard stick is put across the frame for clipping on papers. The burlap has been sewn to have pockets for paper pads and pens. I love it!
