Description
This little wooden plaque is made for the mantelpiece, with a row of seven line-drawn houses and the words LOVE grows BEST in LITTLE houses printed in soft grey across its white face. Each house has a character of its own: one has a striped roof and a front door flanked by potted plants, another has a sprig of leaves climbing its wall, the smallest has a single flower by its door, and the tallest sprouts two leaves from the top of its roof. A faint grain shows through the white finish, which keeps the look soft and homely. It measures 15cm wide, 5.5cm tall and 2cm deep, a small and modest size that suits a narrow ledge as well as a broad mantel.
We think it makes a thoughtful gift for a new home, a gentle reminder that the warmth of a place has nothing to do with its size. It sits happily on a mantelpiece, a bookshelf, a windowsill or a hallway table, and its slim profile means it tucks in beside photo frames and candles without crowding them. On a kitchen dresser it brightens a shelf of plates, and on a bedside table it is a quiet word to wake up to.
The plaque is a wooden block with the houses and lettering printed on its face, and its 2cm depth gives it a flat base to sit upright on its own. Care is simple: dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth, and keep it away from damp so the print stays crisp. For gifting, it is small enough to tuck into a housewarming hamper or slip beside a card, and we like to pair it with a handwritten note about the first night in the new place.
