You know I’m in search of the perfect serving piece for Cheese & Crackers … and I’ve got several variations in the booth at every event. All good.
The corollary to making cheese boards, of course, is what to do with the crackers. For most people, that’s either a pile of crackers on the board, or a small bowl or two.
That’s never really satisfied me. I’ve always thought there had to be a better way … and I’ve got one I’m excited about.
I’ve gotten some comments about the name, but I’m sticking with it.
The base of the Cracker Things is a multi-colored selection of exotic woods. Most have an assymetrical, “chaos” design. Others are symetrical, but are always very colorful. The cracker holders, currently, are made from Hard Maple, Cherry, Black Walnut and Sapele.
Each Cracker Thing is 11″ long, which happens to be the length of the cheese boards that I make. They are 4″ wide and 2-1/2″ high … not including the crackers.
I was very happy when lady after lady entered the booth this weekend, and the universal comment was, “Those are cute!”
They are great gifts; I’m introducing them at $35 each. After one event … I know I have to make more.
That’s a lovely problem to have.
I love my Cracker Thing! I’m all about something that is pretty and functional. It was nice to meet you this past weekend and have enjoyed reading some of your past blog posts.
Nice meeting you as well, Kris. Hope you had a great event! Stay tuned for my review which should post in a day or 2.
call them cracker couches
I’ve also heard Cracker Racks … I’m sticking with Cracker Things!
