3 out of 5 starsI've ordered other products before and they held their shape nicely. The California Form was bent and swayed in different directions. Some sort of bracing for the long form probably would have made it more stable. All in all the product worked as I wanted to use it (stuffed with corks), but I had to use glue to hold them in, otherwise I would have overstuffed the form and California would have looked like a pot-bellied Georgia!

1 out of 5 starsI have not received this item. Emailed w/artist re a two-week delay. It is now beyond a two-week delay. I’d like a full refund and I’d like my sister to have a full refund on the Etsy gift card she bought me. I will not be shopping on Etsy in the future. This is really a shame as I do appreciate and love this artist’s work. Thanks - K.

5 out of 5 starsThis has to be the best oversized cookie cutter decoration I own. The quality is amazing and the materials used aren't lightweight by any means. Additionally the barrel hoop metal has a really nice rustic coloring to it. And the size? It's big and fabulous and makes a grand statement. I'm so happy to have found this seller on Etsy. I know I will be back for more items. Thank you for a beautiful creation that was delivered in perfect time.
About PurpleThumbNotions
Purple Thumb Notions Birth
I started bending shapes from wine barrel hoops while working for a little quaint winery in Paso Robles. Working at this winery really helped me appreciate what a work of art a wine barrel truly is. This somewhat cumbersome solid oak vessel, fastened with galvanized metal hoops, plays a huge role in such an amazingly delicious outcome…wine! Sadly, after not too many years, the barrels become retired. I wanted to find ways to repurpose the barrels. I started off by bending hearts then moved into handcrafted stars, moons, crosses, heart/cross combos, bicycles, business logos, and the list is growing weekly! I try to salvage them in multiple ways for wine lovers, art lovers or for anyone that appreciates the finished artwork! Decorate your home, garden, business, or give as a gift. They are sure to be a conversation piece.

Owner, Creator, Designer
Circa 2013 I leaped into this journey that allowed my passion and vision to guide the way for my Purple Thumb Notions wine barrel art. My pieces are rustic, reclaimed, recycled, and hand made by me and by me alone!
Shop policies
Purple Thumb Notions are handmade, one of a kind, rustic, reclaimed, recycled pieces of wine barrel art! Many are ideal for creating a rustic vintage feel in your home or garden.
My goal is to find objects that others may fail to recognize their function and value. I then repurpose them, and bring them back to life in often times another form. I am constantly designing new ideas within my own imagination and pulling inspiration from all around me.
Succulents and air plants are a huge passion of mine due to the ease and diversity of both plant families. I like to design and handcraft rustic planter vessels as well as art sculptures from the metal rings and solid oak staves that can display them.
The possibilities really are infinite!
Salvage on Friends, Salvage on!
