Description

This mini wooden mantel plaque sets a row of little line-drawn houses across a white face, with the words 'if only YOU lived CLOSER' written on the largest house at the centre. Six houses sit side by side, from a narrow cottage and one with a climbing plant by the door to a scalloped gable and a tall slim house at the end, all drawn in a soft grey line with small hearts floating above the rooftops. The words mix a loose script for 'if only' and 'lived' with neat capitals for 'YOU' and 'CLOSER', so the message reads warmly at a glance. It is a small piece, 15cm wide, 5.5cm high and 2cm deep, finished in white round its edges too.

Being a mantel plaque, it stands upright on its own flat base, so it needs no hook or nail: set it on a mantelpiece, a windowsill, a bookshelf or a bedside table. We think it makes a thoughtful new home gift, especially when a move has put a few more miles between you. Tucked in beside a card or a bunch of flowers on moving day, it says what so many of us feel when someone we love settles somewhere further away. The white and soft grey palette sits happily with most schemes, from cottage kitchens to modern flats.

The plaque is a wooden block with the design printed on its white face. To keep it looking its best, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth and keep it somewhere dry, as you would any wooden piece. For gifting, we like to slip a handwritten note in with the wrapping, or to group it on a shelf with a framed photograph and a small plant, so the little row of houses becomes part of a cosy corner in the new home.
