Corks

Months ago Hubby brought home 3000+ corks.  I am not kidding.  THREE THOUSAND.

They are from a co-worker of his who used to be a bartender.

One of my putsey-ing activities on Sunday was to sort through the bags of them, pulling the plastic ones out for recycling and putting the rest in a box.  What in the world am I going to do with all of them!?

I already have them in various places around my house.  
In a giant IKEA vase in the kitchen...

...a smaller vase in Scout's old room...

...in the china cabinet...

...and, in a few of my potted plants.  {Which I like the looks of, but let's just see if the squirrels will let them be.}

And while I love the organic look of corks, I am growing weary of trying to find ways to use them.  I have already done a couple of crafts with them, and I kind of feel over it.  I might use some of them for place card holders on the Thanksgiving table if I can dig out my glue gun in time to do that.  I offered a bag to my sister, but I really have no idea what to do with the rest!  P.S. my collection grows a little every weekend...
