Description
This framed wooden plaque sets a white heart at the centre of a square off white frame. The heart carries the words "Grandchildren are sunshine for the heart" in a mix of flowing handwritten script and neat capitals. Behind the heart sits a soft, linen-look background printed with fine grey wild flowers, leaves and seed heads. They are drawn in a light, sketchy line that frames the message without crowding it. The plaque measures 15cm high, 15cm wide and 2.5cm deep, so it stays modest in size and is easy to find a place for.
Its quiet palette of off white, grey and white settles easily into most rooms, from a living room or hallway to a bedroom, a landing or a cosy reading corner. We like it grouped with family photographs, where the words add a gentle note to the faces around it, but it looks just as good alone. The message is warm without being sugary, and it suits a home that already has a soft, natural or cottage-style feel. It also makes a thoughtful gift, one where the printed words say everything that needs saying, so the card can be kept short.
The frame is made of wood, and its 2.5cm depth gives the heart room to sit slightly forward of the printed background, which adds a little shadow and dimension to the piece. To keep it looking fresh, dust the frame and the heart with a soft dry cloth now and then, and keep the printed panel away from damp. For gifting, it needs little more than tissue paper and a ribbon. At home, try it beside a framed family photo and a small jug of dried flowers for a soft, homely grouping.
