Description
This wooden stacking plaque builds a little tower of kind words, topped with a butterfly cut-out that reads "You are lovely" in soft pink script. Beneath it sits a peach block with "Generous and CARING, KIND and thoughtful too." and, at the base, a wider white block that finishes the verse: "you make everything MORE LOVELY, just by being YOU." Pastel watercolour flowers, with the odd bumblebee among them, run across the butterfly's wings and along both ends of the bottom block, while the grey lettering keeps the message easy to read. The whole piece stands 18.5cm tall, 20cm wide and 2cm deep, a size that sits happily on a narrow shelf without crowding it.
Because it stands on its own, it needs no wall and no fixings: set it on a mantelpiece, a bedside table, a windowsill or a desk where the words will be seen every day. The soft white, peach and floral palette suits a bedroom, a living room or a home office, and sits comfortably beside other pale, garden-inspired pieces. We think it makes a thoughtful Mother's Day gift that tells a mum how much she is appreciated, and it is just as fitting for a friend who always has a kind word ready.
The plaque is made of wood, with the flowers and lettering set across its white faces and the middle block finished in soft peach. The back is plain white with a pale peach middle layer, so it looks tidy from any angle. To keep it fresh, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from damp. Set it at eye level on a shelf so the butterfly catches the eye first and the verse reads naturally from top to bottom; for a gift, wrap it in tissue with a handwritten card.
