Description
This framed wooden wall plaque brings the look of an old café sign to a Christmas kitchen, with HOT COCOA in bold red capitals across a white face. Beneath it the lettering runs through SINCE, WITH EXTRA MARSHMALLOWS and 1867, then North Pole in a flowing red script and SERVED DAILY WITH CHRISTMAS SPIRIT in red capitals, set between curling black flourishes inside a fine black line border. The white face is printed with a faint planked grain, and the whole board sits in a natural wood frame. It measures 40.5cm wide, 30cm high and 3cm deep, easy to read from across the room.
Its natural home is wherever the hot drinks are made: above the kettle, beside a coffee and cocoa corner, over a breakfast bar or on a dining room wall, where it sets a festive tone from the first of December. At just 3cm deep it sits close to the wall, so it works as well in a narrow hallway or by the stairs as it does in the kitchen. The warm wood frame suits farmhouse and cottage kitchens alike. It also makes a thoughtful Christmas gift, an easy way to bring festive cheer to a kitchen without redecorating it.
On the back, two metal sawtooth hangers sit near the top edge, one at each side, so the plaque hangs level from a pair of nails or picture hooks spaced to match. Care is simple: dust the frame and the printed face with a soft dry cloth, and if needed wipe gently with a barely damp cloth, keeping water away from the lettering. Wrap it flat when the decorations come down in January and it will be ready to go straight back up next Christmas. For a warm finishing touch, hang it above a tray of mugs and a jar of marshmallows, or drape a little greenery along the top of the frame.
