Description
This floral butterfly mantel decoration is a small wooden keepsake with a kind message at its heart. Its white face is printed with soft watercolour flowers in pastel pink, peach and blue, gathered towards the wing tips so the words in the centre stand clear. The word Loveliest runs across the middle in a flowing script. Beneath it, in neat lettering, it reads: If I had a flower for every time you made me SMILE I'd have a GARDEN to walk in. The edges and the back are a soft yellow, so it looks finished from any angle. It stands 11cm high, 14cm across and 3cm deep.
We think it belongs on a mantelpiece, but it is just as happy on a bookshelf, a windowsill, a desk or a bedside table. At 14cm across it fits a small gap between candles or framed photographs without crowding them. The words speak to someone who brings a smile, which makes it a lovely gift for a friend and a way to tell them how much they mean without needing a long card. It also makes a thoughtful Mother's Day gift, and its soft florals sit happily alongside a bunch of spring flowers. Given on its own or tucked into a gift bag, it keeps the message on show every day.
The butterfly is cut from wood with a shiny finish. At 3cm deep it stands upright on the flat edges of its lower wings, so it needs no stand, hook or wall fixing. The yellow back means it can sit on an open shelf or a table seen from both sides. To keep it looking fresh, dust it with a soft dry cloth now and then, and keep it away from water. For a pretty display, stand it beside a small vase of fresh blooms or a framed photograph of the friend you are giving it to.
