Description
This layered wooden plaque pairs a white glazed panel with a natural wood-tone backing, and carries a simple message for someone close: "YOU'LL ALWAYS BE MY BEST bud", with the last word written in a loose, handwritten script. Above the words sit three fine line drawings of flower stems in slim bud vases, one with feathery leaves, one with round buds and one with small daisy-like blooms, all in a soft grey that keeps the piece calm and light. The white panel has gently rounded corners and sits proud of the wooden board, so the two layers give it a little depth. It measures 12.5cm wide and 1.5cm deep, a neat size for a shelf or desk.
We think it makes a lovely new home gift for a friend, a gentle way to tell them how much they mean as they settle in. The palette is quiet enough to sit happily in almost any room: on a bookshelf, a bedside table, a hallway console or a mantelpiece. The white and natural wood tones suit painted panelling, pale oak and soft linen alike, and the floral drawings bring a little of the garden indoors without any bright colour.
A hinged easel stand on the back lets the plaque stand on its own, so it needs no wall, nails or fixings and can move from room to room whenever you fancy a change. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe the glazed front gently with a barely damp cloth, keeping the wooden edges away from water. Slip it into a gift bag with a card and a few fresh flowers when you visit a friend's new home.
