Description
This layered wooden plaque sets a white glazed panel on a natural wooden backing, and the panel is covered in neat rows of little hand-drawn houses. Some are tall and narrow, some are broad cottages with lined roofs, and a few have a sprig of leaves sprouting from the roof or a climbing plant trailing up the wall. At the top, the words "happy HOME" sit between two small leafy sprigs, with "happy" in a looping script and "HOME" in spaced capitals. The drawings are in a soft grey line, so the whole piece reads as calm and light rather than busy. It measures 12.5cm across and 1.5cm deep.
A fold-out stand on the back lets the plaque stand on its own, so it needs no nail or hook in the wall. We think it looks at home on a mantelpiece, a bookshelf, a hallway table or a bedside cabinet, anywhere a small word of welcome feels right. It makes a thoughtful new home gift for someone settling into their first house or moving on to the next, and a warm birthday present for a dad or a grandfather who takes pride in his home. The houses and their little plants give it a gentle, homely charm that suits a cottage shelf or a modern study.
The white panel has softly rounded corners and a glazed finish, and it is layered over the slightly larger wooden backing so a narrow border of natural wood shows all the way round. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth, and wipe the glazed face with a lightly damp cloth if it needs more, keeping the wood dry. For a new home gift, we like to tuck it in with a card and a bunch of flowers, so the new owners have something to put on the shelf on their first evening.
