Don't they look well together? Not "matchy-matchy", but close enough to co-ordinate?
I received this bread plate several years ago as a gift. Most of it's life has been spent inside a cabinet, alongside my other pretty plates, platters, and serving dishes. I was cleaning and decluttering and moving things around, so I had it out recently, and my son noticed it.
Not long after, he spotted a wooden bread box with similar carved detail at a sort of combination flea market/garage sale he works at from time to time, and I was able to get it later that day for $8. I cleaned it with some Murphy's Oil Soap, and I may go back later with Old English Scratch Cover and darken the bottom edge just a little. Or not.
Now if only I had some homemade bread to put in it...

Love your bread box! We are totally addicted the thrift stores. Yesterday we went all over the city (even on our vacation). We found lots of treasures - like a brand new microwave (our just died) and a mouse for my new laptop! I just have to remember just because it CHEAP doesn't mean we NEED it! :0)
How nice that the tray and breadbox have closely similar motifs! It was a very good find.
Thank you for joining in the thrifty finds post this week. We'll be doing it again next Monday! Nice pieces you've found.
Sweet! I love your bread box! :D I love going to the thrift store, too!
They were meant to be together! I love them both and as a combo they are fantastic! Thanks for participaing in Thrifty Thursday this week! I was late in posting the links, so forgive me. It's my fault that you may have some late visits.
Thanks for partcipating. Next week I will be back on a good schedule!
We were given a bread platter very similar to yours for a wedding present. For YEARS I used it - - - but in the last two moves I have boxes that NEVER got unpacked, and now I have NO IDEA where my little bread tray is.
Very cute together!! I love that they aren't too matchy...but show the same scene--ish...
I've some platters that have just hung out in the cupboard for too long - thanks for the reminder. The bred box is a great find.
