Description
This wooden butterfly decoration carries a simple, heartfelt message for a much-loved Nana, set among soft watercolour flowers on a white face. In the centre, her name is written in flowing black script, followed by the words "You don't have to do ANYTHING else other than BE YOURSELF." in neat print. Wild blooms in blush pink, lavender, cornflower blue, peach and sage climb up both wings, and a tiny bumblebee hovers among them on the right. The edges are pale yellow, which outlines the butterfly from the side, and the front has a shiny finish. It stands 11cm tall, 14cm across and 3cm deep, a size that sits comfortably on a mantelpiece or shelf without crowding it.
Its solid shape and 3cm depth let it stand upright on its own, so it needs no wall, hook or easel. A mantelpiece is the natural home, but it suits a bedside table, a windowsill, a dresser or a desk just as well, anywhere Nana will see it each day. We think it makes a thoughtful Mother's Day gift for a grandmother, a small and lasting way of telling her she is loved just as she is. It goes nicely alongside a card or a bunch of flowers when you visit, leaving her something to keep long after the blooms have faded.
The butterfly is made of wood, with the floral design printed across the front and the sides finished in that soft yellow. To keep it looking fresh, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from damp, as you would any wooden piece. For a finishing touch, set it next to a framed family portrait on her mantelpiece, where it becomes a gentle everyday reminder of the people who love her.
