Description
This white wooden plaque pairs a shaggy highland cow and her calf with the cheerful words 'Home is where the herd is', a gentle nod to the people who make a house feel like home. The cattle sit to the right in soft russet browns, framed by a scatter of wildflowers in pink, purple, yellow and white, while the lettering runs across the white ground in a dusty pink, with the word herd picked out in a flowing script. It is a rectangular piece, 15cm wide, 8cm high and just half a centimetre deep, so it reads clearly without taking over a wall.
We like it in a hallway, where it greets everyone coming through the door, or tucked beside the kitchen table, on a landing or in a cosy snug. Its small size makes it easy to place: it fits the narrow stretch of wall beside a light switch, sits happily among framed prints in a gallery arrangement and hangs neatly from a single hook. The country feel of the highland cattle and meadow flowers works well with natural wood, cream walls and rustic accents, and it suits a farmhouse kitchen just as well as a modern home that wants a softer, homely touch.
The plaque is made of wood and hangs from a twisted cord fixed to the back near each top corner, so it is ready to go up the day it arrives. At half a centimetre deep it sits flat and close to the wall, and the cord needs nothing more than a single nail or picture hook. To keep the print looking fresh, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from damp. Hung on its own or grouped with a few favourite pieces, it brings a smile to any wall, and as a gift it says a great deal in a few warm words.
