(Therepublic) - Okie Morris is as spunky and offbeat as her latest creation — the Original Rednek Wine Glass.
Packing boxes of glasses for delivery to local retail customers, she laughs about the thousands of glasses selling nationwide and the newspaper, online and TV stories documenting her sudden success.
“My purpose is to repurpose,” says Okie, 43.
“It all started with my business Rewined Designs in 2009.”
Although the Newport News, Va., resident routinely remakes thrift store-find items like a chandelier into a hanging bird feeder and a wall-hung mail racks into a small tool holder, the quirky wine glasses launched her into the national spotlight.
