Hello lovely friends. I went shopping again and spent quite a bit of time on Etsy. And this is always a good thing.
Searching through stores of handmade crafts on Etsy is something I can spend hours doing. Ultimately I get click happy and start adding to my cart every time I see something beautifully hand made. And if it has anything to do with vintage linens, paper or food styling props, it is super click happy-time.
I was so super stoked to find these handmade individual bread boards by Diana at Our Vintage Home Love! All the bread boards made by Diana are custom and each are unique with their own special characters based on the wood, stain and shape.
What made me fall more in love with these boards is Diana’s story. Please read her bread board story. I cried a few times. Tissues please.
Handmade and homemade items made with love are so dear to me. Each piece weaves in a special story, a bit of the past and when I can hold it in my hands, I feel so much more inspired to love, share and give back.
So I went extra click happy and purchased a set of these boards to give away!
They are so beautifully hand crafted and are the perfect size for food photography and styling too. I just adore the different shapes of the boards and especially the lovely handles.
Diana also sells a larger selection of boards on her Etsy Store.
Good lucky everyone!
hugs and love,
diane

Might’ve combined my chance #1 with chance #3, but at least I saved #2 in this tweet 🙂 https://twitter.com/#!/Paticheri/status/147974065360084992
I’ve been searching for good breadboards for a long time, but objects that come with their own stories to tell, their own histories and memories, are more valuable by far than anything from even the best cookery shops–a bit like used books with notes in margins, which I’ve always preferred to new ones. I’d use this every day halfway around the world from where it was made–I live and work in Pondicherry, after 20+ years in Toronto and Houston–I’d enjoy its loveliness each time, I’d tell the story of how they were made to my kids, and anyone else who asked. It would have another life in my kitchen, on my table, and in my writing, but one that always recalled its past, honoring its creator and her father’s craft with each use. I know that I’ve just combined my 1st and 3rd chances to win this in one post, perhaps lost one shot of three in the process–but I can’t see that what I’d do with the board is separable at all from Diana’s story. How could it be? I love surrounding myself with beautiful things, each one a tale unto itself, not merely a prop. I hope this will be one of them.
I would use them to serve bread on!
I would love to win these boards, I would love to use this to show off some tasty bread. Props like these would actually can give my food photography a new dimension.
great way to honor her Dad.
I successfully made my first loaf of bread today so naturally I’d use it for bread and probably cheeses.
I would use it for everything… Make it versatile.. Cheese.. Bread… Cracker n cheese spread… If its a big one use it to put pizza on… The list can go on… Or simply to put baking goods on it…
That is a touching story, and the boards are just gorgeous. I’d use it for so many things: slicing mini loaves, food blogger potlucks, and for displaying samples at my local food swaps.

I would use it to cut bread and other things on.
Very touching story!
I would love to bring them out with homemade jam and crackers at a holiday party!
very inspirational story – in honour of her dad
I would use them for individual servings of bread at the table.
i’d also use them for taking pics with the blog. these are amazing food props.

They would be great to put candles and flowers on for a centerpiece at dinner, and also to slice up fruit and put out on the table as a serving tray for my kiddiewinks.
Or make a pot of green tea and serve my Japanese tea set on it.
