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 
Olive

    I think your old galvanized piece is a vintage steamed pudding mold...just beautiful!

    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

    Perfect vignette! I need to replace my split breadboard and can't bring myself to pay the prices asked! Yours is very good deal. Love the metal pot and lid! ~ Maureen

    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

    It's nice to see the black and white photos; it's something I've been meaning fiddle with some more.

    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.

    Yes, breadboards are pricey for sure. Darn I was just at the outlet mall and didn't even go in WS. Great price on that board and nice vignette.

    You got quite a deal at WS. We have one here, but I haven't gone in there. I LOVE bread boards though. That is the perfect backdrop in your kitchen!

      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.

    The breadboard is wonderful Olive. The galvanized pot is interesting. I don't think I've seen anything like it. I am sure the images in the rose book are gorgeous!

    Beautiful photos! But I still can't get over that bread boards cost as much as they do. Unbelievable, isn't it. But it sure is a nice one. :-)

    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!!

    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!

    Hi, Olive, Oh, I do love your bread board. I won a small one a few months back and love it so much, I use it all the time for lots of different things.
    Love the olden lid that J found, too.
    Your photos are wonderful.
