Description
This grey wooden plaque carries a heartfelt verse written to a sister, opening with the word Sister in a flowing script. The rest of the verse is printed in a typewriter-style black type, running from 'Having you as my sister is like having a partner in crime' through 'the yin to my yang and the gin to my tonic' to a closing 'Love you lots.' A raised silver butterfly sits at the lower right corner, and fine dark lines frame the words top and bottom. The plaque is rectangular, about 20.4cm on its longer side, 10.6cm on its shorter side and 2.2cm deep, so it reads clearly without crowding a shelf.
Because it stands on its own, it needs no wall and no fixings: the stand at the back holds it upright on a bedside table, dressing table, desk or mantelpiece. The soft grey sits comfortably in most rooms, beside white paintwork or among warmer wood tones, and the dark type keeps every line of the verse easy to read. It makes a thoughtful gift that puts into words what can be hard to say in a card, and it is the kind of keepsake that stays out on display long after the day it was given.
The plaque is wood with a printed finish, and the butterfly sits proud of the face as part of the design. Keep it indoors and away from damp, and dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth; a barely damp cloth will lift a fingermark, but never soak the printed face. To style it, stand it where it will be seen every day, or group it with a framed photograph and a small vase of flowers on a shelf. For giving, wrap it in tissue and tuck a handwritten note alongside.
