Description
This ceramic wind chime is a simple off white cylinder, with a band of navy, blue-grey and beige stripes round its lower edge and the words "friends are the family you" printed in small dark lettering just above the stripes. It hangs from a ring at the top on four lengths of pale cord, and a long rectangular clapper drops on a single cord beneath it. At 44.5cm high and 8cm across, it is slim enough for a narrow spot and long enough to be noticed. The colours are soft and coastal in feel, so it sits happily against white walls and pale furnishings.
We like it near a window or an open doorway, in a hallway, a conservatory or a sunny kitchen corner, anywhere a little moving air will set the clapper swinging. Because of the words it carries, it makes a natural present for a friend: a thank you gift for someone who has been there when it mattered, a cheerful Easter gift, or a Valentine's Day surprise for the friends who feel like family.
The body is ceramic with a soft off white finish, and the stripes and lettering run round its lower half. The cords loop through holes near the top rim, and the ring gives you one point to hang it from, such as a small hook or a bracket. Ceramic deserves a little care, so hang it where it will not knock against glass or a hard wall. Dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it gently with a damp one when needed. For gifting, it needs nothing more than tissue paper and a card. Once it is hung in a bright window, it brings a quiet run of colour and a daily reminder of the people who matter most.
