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

Oh, these are so lovely! I have been looking for bread boards like these for quite a while, so thank you for scouting them. I would hang them on my kithchen wall and start a new collection, and buy a new one – or two – every year for Christmas.
Corrected email address for notification.
I would live to use this board to serve Italian bread with the freah New Olive Oil I recently brought back from Italy. It would look and taste yummy. Its always in the presentation!
I can remember helping my dad with small woodworking projects when I was little and still have some of them. Handmade items like these help bring back wonderful memories of the hands that made or inspired them.
Mini bread boards would be perfect for serving treats in my mini apartment with a touch of home!
Diana’s story reminds me of my grandpa ~ he loved building and creating things in his tool shed!
I would throw a dinner party and lovingly display a selection of cheeses & bread!
What a lovely story. I envy people with fond memories of their fathers. Unfortunately, not all of us have such lovely memories. I would be honored to share the memories of her dad through these lovely boards.
Diana’s story makes me appreciate watching my own daughter and husband working on projects together so much more!
Thanks for this opportunity x3!!

Hmm, what would I do with them (besides cherish them)? I’m confined to a chair and cooking and food prep is difficult for me. I might use these lovely boards to help me do prep work at a table in my dining area. Oh, and is the brittle included? 😎
What a beautiful story. Thank you for sharing everything you do -just adds more beauty to all our lives…
I would leave them sitting on my kitchen cabinets. Whenever anyone commented on how beautiful they were, I would say “well I won them from this fabulous blog, you need to check it out”
These are amazing and gorgeous! We have weekly dinners with our closest friends and you could bet these would grace our table on those dates. I’d especially use them in photos for the blogs I write for … lovely crafts(wo)manship!
I just read Diana’s story. I wish I could say I am heading to the garage to honor my father and brother, but it is my sister who got the craftsman genes while I got the cooking skills. I admire someone who can make things with their hands and Diana’s story resonated with me. My father wore plaid wool Pendelton shirts, which I have stored away for my son, when he worked in the garage, worrying over every detail to make sure everything is perfect. It breaks my heart that he isn’t here to teach my son, who he never met, to build with wood. I tell my son stories often about “papa” and what he could do and how he learned it from his father and uncles who were all craftsmen and build buildings and houses all over the SF Peninsula. Thank you for telling this story. Happy Holidays.
Oh my…I love bread boards!!! I love making homemade bread and serving them on bread boards instead of a basket. These are beautiful, and my sund-dried tomato bread would look divine on them!
