Description
This standing verse plaque carries a heartfelt poem written to Nan, set out in grey lettering on an off-white face. The words mix neat capitals with a looser handwritten script, picking out phrases such as "wonderful", "always be there", "kind smile", "warmth and joy" and "fun times", before closing on the line "to the world you are a person, but to me, you are the world." Simple grey line drawings surround the verse: a potted flower in the top corner, two mugs (one marked with a heart) opposite, and a row of three potted plants along the foot, with a small silver butterfly sitting among them. It is a slim rectangle, 20.2cm tall, 11.2cm wide and 2cm deep.
Its size suits a bedside table, a windowsill, a dresser or a bookshelf, where the verse can be read up close. The off-white and grey colouring sits quietly in most rooms, from a calm neutral living room to a country-style hallway. As a keepsake, it says the things that are hard to say out loud: thanks for the welcome, the listening ear, the laughter and the patience. Because the poem is addressed to Nan by name, it is a thoughtful way to tell her how much she means.
A black easel stand on the back lets the plaque stand on its own on any flat surface, so it needs no wall or nails. There is also a small hanger at the top of the back, so it can go on a wall instead if you prefer. The butterfly is a raised piece that sits proud of the surface, adding a little shine and texture to the print. To keep it looking fresh, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth. For a gift, we like to stand it beside a favourite family photograph, or to bring it along with flowers on a visit.
