Description
This wooden butterfly decoration carries a short, kind message in the middle of a spray of watercolour wildflowers. Its white face is printed with soft blue, pink, peach, lilac and yellow blooms climbing up from the lower wings, with a little bumblebee settled among them on the right. At the centre, the word "Special" sits in flowing script above the line "You don't have to do ANYTHING else other than BE YOURSELF." The cut edges are a pale yellow, which frames the butterfly outline nicely. It measures 14cm across, 11cm tall and 3cm deep, a size that suits a small shelf or windowsill.
Being 3cm deep, it stands upright on its own, so there is no hook or nail to think about. We like it on a mantelpiece, a bedside table, a desk or a bookshelf, anywhere the message will be read each day. It makes a thoughtful gift for a friend who needs reminding how much they matter, and it is a lovely choice for Mother's Day too, small enough to tuck in beside a card or a bunch of flowers. The wording is warm without being sentimental, so it suits a country kitchen shelf or a bright modern room alike.
It is made of wood, with the floral design and lettering printed across the front and the pale yellow finish running around the sides. To keep it looking fresh, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth, and if it needs more, wipe it gently with a barely damp cloth and dry it straight away. Keep it out of steady damp so the wood stays at its best. For gifting, wrap it in tissue and add a note of your own: the printed words do most of the talking, and the butterfly shape makes it feel like a small treat rather than an ornament for the sake of it.
