Looking 'homemade' is the charm! How about a chalkboard? Find a cool frame, insert chalkboard, add a chalk tray and there you go. Many ideas; fancy frame and add a nice plate holder to set on counter as a menu board, or rustic with a lovely quote for over the mantel, or cute as a shopping (market) list board. Home depot has chalkboard-board for sale, so you don't need to do a lot of work, and a little piece of trim for the chalk tray. Good luck and have fun!
