Christmas Highland Cow Heart Wooden Plaque with Bell - White

This wooden heart plaque brings a shaggy Highland cow in a red Santa hat to your festive shelf, peeping over a little picket fence beside the words 'Have yourself a merry little Christmas'. The heart is painted white with a soft, lightly worn look, and sprigs of green pine with pine cones and red berries frame the top and sides. The word Christmas is picked out in red glitter script, with the rest of the message in grey. A rust-coloured bell hangs from a natural-coloured bow at the top of the heart, and a cut-out picket fence in a natural wood tone runs along the base. It measures 15cm tall, 14.6cm wide and 6cm deep.

At 6cm deep the heart is a chunky little block that stands upright on its own, so it needs no hook or nail. We like it on a mantelpiece among pine cones and greenery, on a windowsill, on a hall table by the front door or on a kitchen shelf, where the cow's face is at eye level. At 15cm tall it fits easily on a narrow shelf or a bookcase ledge. It also makes a cheerful little Christmas gift, easy to wrap and a fun change from a card.

The plaque is made of wood, with its painted white face, printed design and glittered lettering on the front, and the fence fixed across the bottom edge for a little depth. Dust it with a soft dry cloth, and keep it indoors away from damp so the paint and glitter stay fresh from one December to the next. When the decorations come down, wrap it in tissue and box it with the baubles so it is ready for next Christmas. For a cosy rustic corner, pair it with a jute garland or a few sprigs of real pine, and let the bell and the red glitter catch the eye.
