<p>One of the many reasons I love stationery so is all the magnificent illustration to be discovered here. And it is always cause for celebration when that imagery is reinterpreted into product that makes our living spaces that much more dynamic. Thus it is my honor and pleasure to introduce the latest ever-versatile product expansion from <a href="https://www.shadesofexpressiondesigns.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="Shades of Expression Designs">Shades of Expression Designs</a>: glass cutting boards!</p>



<p>Presented in at a portable yet impactful 8-by-11-inch format, they were designed to be used for many purposes: mini charcuterie board, hot plate/trivet, decorative accent, and of course as the basis for nearly any kind of gift — think housewarmings, bridal and baby showers and of course hostess gifts. Personally, I think their vibrant images set the tone for each — that first apples design is the perfect start to that favorite teacher&#8217;s gift; others can be paired with a bottle of wine, gourmet goodies, even seeds for planting, for a spellbinding, completely customized creation.</p>
