It's the first warm day we've had for a long while here in NYC (I daresay it might be time to retire my black tights). Balmy days like this remind me that picnic season is right around the corner. These gorgeous slate cheese boards and coasters from Brooklyn Slate are perfect for outdoor meals in the park.
Brooklyn Slate's collections remind me that the best things come in simple packages. The owners hand-make every unique piece in their Gowanus studio, and source their material from a private quarry in upstate NY.
There's nothing better on a warm day than good food and something lovely to serve it on. Also, every item comes beautifully wrapped in a brown paper package tied up with string (seriously).
The company just launched a new garden collection for spring, which makes me long for a backyard to plant herbs in. Until then, I'll be gifting these slate seedling markers to my friends who are lucky enough to have their own patches of green.
Don't want to go to Brooklyn to pick up your slate? Check out their list of stockists. If you live near Murray's Cheese, you can pick up your lunch and your serving board in one fell swoop.

Imaging and trying different possibilities, when making up cheese platter definitely end up in unique platters. Slate coasters are relatively cheap and can become part of house or restaurants.
