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

I would give it to my mother to use.
I read Diana’s bread board story. Very nice that she could make the boards for her friends and honor her Dad.
I would display them on my kitchen/dining room wall and pull them down when I want to use them!
A wedge of goat cheese, piece of honeycomb, some watercress and a thick slice of bread should fit on a board nicely.
Those bread cutting boards would be a great addition to our kitchen. I’ve been on a bread baking quest for years and love the process of baking bread. I’ve searched on etsy before, thanks for sharing this beautiful product.
I would use them to serve bread and cheese on.
I would use it for serving food at parties!
Hi!
I’ve just discovered you gorgeous site and I must say, I’m in love! If I had one of these boards I’d bake more and use them in ALL my photography! Diane’s story is very beautiful, I lost my grandfather 4 years ago and he was an incredible wood worker, I wish I’d learned more from him. Her tribute to him is heartfelt and touched me personally. Thank you <3

I read Diana’s story and can appreciate her desire to create as a way to retain her memories alive.
My wife makes delicious sandwiches on homemade sourdough bread. I bet she could use these as plates!
Just a couple of days ago, I was Skyping with my brother who lives across the country. In a frightening/exciting life step, I have just moved into a new apartment after 16 years in my old place and after the recent end of a 17-year relationship. As I was giving him the tour of my new home via my iPad (which I was carrying around as a very portable video camera), we got to the kitchen. On my counter, he spotted a beautiful cutting board that he’d made out of several different woods and which he’d given to me as a Christmas gift a dozen years ago.
“Is that the cutting board I made?!” he asked, excitedly. I said yes, and told him that I’d used it almost every day since he gave it to me. You can imagine how much it pleased him to hear that piece of information.
I may not be a collector of antiques or obsessed with inanimate objects — but even I know that things are often not just “things.”
These are beautiful! I would love to use them for entertaining family and friends – slicing bread, cheeses, etc.
Beautiful bread boards! Perfect for food styling and photographing 😉 Oh, and holiday entertaining and anytime entertaining for that matter.
Read the bread board story. My dad likes to do woodworking too.
would use for bread, cheese, crackers
What a heartfelt story that is bittersweet. I am so glad that Diana found the confidence in herself
that her Dad knew that she had in her all along! With every bread board that she creates with the
same ‘loving care’ just like her beloved Dad did is such a wonderful tribute to his loving memory! 🙂
