Possibly a bit of sandpaper on the new wood first.
No good for keeping wine in, but.. what's this keeping wine stuff?
Now THAT was a grab bag! WHOO! The pressed glass may be 1960s-ish sounveir stuff. The earring is an earring, and those Hello Kitty earrings would...
I'm seeing an opal in there. They can break, so possibly one met its maker and they replaced it with whatever would fit. A Jade oval would look...
