memoboard a la chanel

...memoboards are something most people seem to have and just use a very plain type which just does what it has to do...keep all your reminders in place...so why not having one which looks beautiful...

as with everything else, i am not able to create just one...no...it has to be an entire collection, again.

...and today i would like to start with some memoboards a la chanel, using cork pot holders, waterhyazinth placemats and a magnet board.
