Description
This wooden plaque spells out HOME in big cut-out letters above a white base printed with the words "home is where the herd is", bringing a cheerful touch of the countryside to a mantelpiece or shelf. The letters keep the warm, natural tone of the wood, with dark edges that help each one stand out, and a small twine bow holds a rust-brown bell inside the O. Along the base, the words run in soft rose-pink lettering above a meadow of wildflowers in yellow, pink, lilac and white, with a shaggy Highland cow and a calf at its side looking out from the right-hand end. It stands 9.5cm tall, 20cm wide and 2cm deep.
At only 2cm deep, it fits on a narrow mantelpiece, a windowsill, a bookshelf or a hallway table without crowding anything around it. It suits a farmhouse kitchen, a cottage sitting room or any home with a soft spot for country style. The playful line about the herd makes it a fond nod to family life, whether that means a busy household, a home full of pets or simply the people you love gathered under one roof. Because it stands on its own base, it needs no nails, hooks or fixings, so it is easy to move from room to room.
The plaque is made of wood, with the cut-out letters rising from a printed block that has a softly weathered, painted look to suit its country theme. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from damp and direct heat, as you would with any wooden piece. Set it towards the front of a shelf where the little bell and the cows can be seen, or stand it beside a vase on the mantelpiece. It makes a warm and easy gift that will feel at home almost anywhere.
