Description
This wooden village scene brings three little cottages together on a single base, with a cheerful Christmas message set beneath them. A white cottage sits on the left, a taller sage green one stands in the middle and a red cottage finishes the row on the right, each under a natural wood roof with a pale, whitewashed grain and a tiny black chimney pin on top. The white and red cottages each carry a little heart above an arched wooden door, while the centre cottage wears a green wreath tied with a red bow around its upper window. Along the front, a white panel reads "All hearts come home CHRISTMAS" in red and green lettering, framed by sprigs of green leaves. It measures 17cm wide, 13cm tall and 3.3cm deep.
We think it looks its best on a mantelpiece, and it is just as happy on a bookshelf, a sideboard or a hall table. At 3.3cm deep it fits a narrow ledge without crowding it, and at 13cm tall it sits comfortably among cards and seasonal greenery. The colours, sage green, red and white against warm natural wood, suit a rustic Christmas scheme. It makes a thoughtful Christmas gift too, a small piece with a warm message about coming together at this time of year.
The three cottages are layered on the wooden base, rising above it so the row has depth from the front and the side. It is freestanding, so it needs no hook or nail: set it down on any flat, level surface and it stands on its own. To keep it looking fresh, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from damp, as wood is happiest kept dry. We like it at the centre of the mantelpiece with a sprig of fir either side, where the little wreath and hearts catch the eye.
