Time for another business feature! I love stumbling upon Romanian-made products, especially when they’re steeped in an authentic or traditional motif. That explains why I was so drawn to Andrea at NeedleSChoice’s shop on Etsy.

Just like a fine wine, certain things just get better and better with age. There’s a history and character to things that have seen decades; a story waiting to be told. Or, some things just look better with a little bit of fray and tarnish added to them. Either way, I spent my fair share of time searching through the Etsy archives for my favorite vintage Romanian pieces and I’m excited to share them with you! (Though I really wish I could just up and buy them all, instead!)

Note: This post is long overdue, and I want to apologize to Straşnic Handmade for how long it has taken me to post this feature.
Guys. GUYS. I am so excited to feature this company today. SO, SO, SO excited. I literally stumbled upon Straşnic Handmade on Twitter, and I’m so glad they slid into my feed. SO GLAD.
Firstly, if this blog doesn’t convey the point, I love Romania and all things Romanian. (Except for maybe communism. I’m not a huge fan of communism.) So, companies in Romania, that ship to the US, and create handmade goodies—I’m invested, you’ve just checked off a whole heck of my boxes.
Secondly, two words: Cutting boards. If you follow my personal account on Twitter, you’ll already know I have a problem. Case-in-point:
Clearly, I don’t need any more cutting boards, but part of that is largely in thanks to Straşnic Handmade. All the thanks.
Mulțumesc! Mulțumesc! Mulțumesc!
(That’s thank you in Romanian, if it wasn’t obvious.)
Anywho, putting two-and-two together, I found a Romanian company that produces the most beautiful, jaw-dropping, piece-of-artwork cutting boards I’ve ever laid eyes on. Me: ?. I’m over the moon thrilled to share this lovely company and its products. I want each and every one of them. Seriously.

Here’s a fun fact about me: I’m addicted to Etsy. I used to spend way too much at all the pretty shops, but now I tend to “window shop,” if you will, and save things to my never-ending favorites. During one of these bouts of window shopping, I stumbled upon Double Fox Studio, and just had to reach out to its owners Orka and Flavia to see if they’d let me feature their amazing artwork/pottery/jewelry on From Dill To Dracula. Thankfully, they said yes!
