Most of the time I’m eating my cheese and crackers dinner right out of the packages, but sometimes I get a little fancy and create a charcuterie board.  It feels good to be fancy doesn’t it"  And what better excuse to get a little fancy than Mother’s Day"  Today I am joining forces with a group of very talented bloggers as we share our Mother’s Day tablescapes and ideas for making this holiday a little extra fancy and special…because, as mothers, we deserve it!   I’d like to thank Bre from Rooms for Rent for hosting this blog hop and letting me be a part of it!
How to Create a CHarcuterie Board

Earlier this week I shared my DIY Charcuterie Board post where I gave a tutorial for how to make one of these beautiful serving boards from wood.  Be sure to check it out if you’re looking for a simple DIY.  If you’re not, just check the bottom of this post for several charcuterie board options.
For my Mother’s Day tablescape, I placed the charcuterie board in the center of the table.

I added a vintage copper vase with some simple greens to the table for a little more visual interest and character.

A classic charcuterie board includes a variety of meats and cheeses.  It is also very common to add olives, fruits, nuts, crackers, and breads.  You can really alter your components to meet the needs and tastes of the people who will be eating it.  I’ll share what I included below.
