Breadboard



 I had been looking at breadboards online but I could not afford them. 
Can we agree they are pricey?
This one is made in Hungary with wood from an old building.



It was at the Williams Sonoma Outlet and was 75% off. I paid $40.00. 
It was the most expensive item I purchased on our trip to North Georgia. 
The regular price was $159.00


Joe found this odd little galvanized piece at an estate sale 
and it appears to be some kind of baking pan. 
The breadboard makes for a textured back drop for vignettes on this table.



The roses are from our garden.



joy and peace

  5. Love the bread board, those outlets can be fun to shop it. There is a Pottery Barn outlet on the way to our cottage, I can always find something. Like the B & W pics today, Laura

  9. I like the black and white photos Olive, they accentuate the textures of all items in the picture. Who knew a bread board would be so pricey, but you definitely got a great deal on this one. Ann

  11. I was anxious to see what others might say about the little pot. I think it was for steamed puddings, too. On a rack in another closed pot. Lovely photos.

    1. Oh wow, good Sherry. I do not remember any of it. I was working night shift and going to an eight am class. What I know I learned working in a hospital.

  31. Great breadboard. Wow! I haven't priced bread boards for some time, didn't know that they were that expense.
    Have you ever tried making your own?
    Cute vignette!!

  32. You have changed the look again! I cannot keep up with all the changes here. I also like really old bread boards and still use one of my mother in laws, they are so much better quality than many new ones!
