Why I Can't Throw Anything Out!

I was all set to throw out/donate some
clutter. Larry gathered some of his old
trophies and tossed them in the box
for tomorrow morning's pick-up
Good riddance! 

Later that day I read an article in
Country Living magazine on ways to use
vintage trophy cups. 

Did I have any of those? Yes I did!

Just in time to rescue two. 

 One is silver and the other one I
could paint...saw that idea somewhere.

I should save at least one of Larry's
tennis trophies, a nice 1st place that
is on a wood, not a plastic base. I'll
use it as  bookend in his office.

So three trophies were retrieved until...

 later that evening I was scanning FB 

and discovered a very clever way to use
trophy tops. Too cute!! These would be
 great at my next tennis girlfriends party!
Quickly back to the box for trophy
tops this time. I was cutting it close!

Vintage Trophy Wine Stoppers

First, use a drill to make a 1/8-inch-wide hole halfway down into a new cork ($3.99 for 30; winemakingsuperstore.com). Next, twist off the top of a vintage trophy (typically a few bucks each at thrift shops and garage sales). Apply superglue to the underside of the trophy top's base and the screw that extends from it. Insert the screw into the cork and twist the pieces together until flush and a tight bond forms. Allow one hour of drying time before using your prize design.

You see what I mean! It's not safe
 to throw anything out these days.
 There are great repurpose/reuse
 ideas everywhere!

Cheers!
