Rustic Country Serving Trays

Image
If you were like us, we’d love to entertain. Having people over sitting and outside in the spring, late summer evenings by the campfire, fall pumpkin carving party’s, and long winter nights is where this idea came from. We always have an excess of people at a shortage of items to serve them on.  So that’s where I came up with this idea.  This rustic serving tray have served (no pun intended) so many purposes of our household, that I thought would only be indecent to not share it with everyone else. From wine, cheese and crackers, condiments, and even a display to candles this is has added so much warmth to our household.

Who are Olive and Oscar

Rustic Wooden Stars

Add caption These wooden stars are so fun to make - and look great as a rustic country decoration.  I saw this item in a store one day for an obscene amount of money and thought, I can make these myself.  Once I started making them, the interest grew among friends and family.  It was not long after that someone said, "You should sell these on Etsy." People have all sorts of uses, from hang them on a wall, using them in a nursery, or even placing them on a table top.  They can even me made in pressure treated lumber and then painted if you wish you put them outside. Typically I will make them and stain them the day of the order, allow for them to dry for 24 hours before shipping.  We offer a couple different stain options - Rustic light grey and Espresso, as well as paint; Red, White, Blue (we are a little patriotic) All types of different depths are available, of course prices vary.  Typical turn around from order to ship is about 2 business days. ...
