Bread Boards and New Beginnings

Hey friends!  Just a heads up on 4 more sets of bread boards being listed in my shop today.  I also wanted to let you know that because of the demand of these boards, as well as the time I spend working on large amounts of them, it was necessary to make a small increase in price from 19.99 to 25.99.   I do hope you understand.

Hubby is in the process of locating a supply of rough walnut so that I will be able to make and list my single walnut boards in the near future.  When I begin making them again, I will take special orders on different numbers or a letter placed on the front of the board.  I made one for our family with our last name initial on the front and it is so much fun!  They would make fantastic Christmas presents for someone special.

I just want to say again, how blessed I feel that you all have embraced my bread boards like you have.  They are very near and dear to my heart for several reasons and sharing them with you, in their special little package, makes me so happy.  I hope they put a smile on your face.  I am truly humbled that you love them as much as I do. 

I'm working on another item to list and I'm so excited about it.  Details coming soon!

Express Sign and a Pot Rack

Hey there!

I blogged about this old metal Express sign on Friday and I still wasn't sure what I was going to do with it.   Since it was red and I have red accents in my kitchen, I decided to put it above the big window over the sink.   Since we have 12 foot ceilings, I thought it would look neat to have an eye catching, fun piece of art way up there.  So here's how it looks!

Okay, so looking around, the only red accent I see is my stand mixer! :)  Oh, and the stripes in the curtains!  Oh well!

 

 I also wanted to blog a little about that pot rack.  I made it following the same plan as the ladder I made for our master bath that is now in the dining room.  I just used smaller dowels and stained it a dark walnut.  Then I attached screw eyes to the top and added a chain so that I could hang it from the huge screw hooks I screwed into the ceiling, making sure I got them into a stud, joist, whatever the ceiling frame wood is called.  :)

Tall kitchens are just beggin' for pot racks and I really wanted one to display my favorite cast iron pans that my hubby found for me.  He came home this weekend with a cast iron Griswold ebelskiver pan, which is that interesting looking bubble pan in the photo above.  I've never made ebelskivers before.  Have any of you?  Anyway, my hooks for the pot rack are just S hooks that hubby opened a little so that they would fit around the dowel. 

It's an inexpensive way to have a pot rack.   Or you could just use an old ladder if you're lucky enough to have one of those. :)

Have a great day!
