Description
This wooden mantel plaque carries the words "SPRING SHOWERS & Pretty Flowers" across a soft blue and white gingham check, with a meadow of little wildflowers running along its lower edge. The first two words sit in neat grey-blue capitals and the second half flows on in a looping script, a pleasing contrast that keeps the slogan easy to read from across the room. The flowers come in pink, buttery yellow, cornflower blue and lilac on slender green stems. It is made from MDF and measures 30.5cm long, 6cm tall and 3cm deep, a long, slim rectangular shape that suits a narrow ledge.
As its name suggests, the plaque is made for the mantelpiece, where its long, low line sits neatly in front of a mirror or between a pair of candlesticks. It works just as well on a windowsill, a bookshelf, a hallway console or a kitchen dresser shelf, anywhere a little colour helps the house feel lighter as the days lengthen. The blue and white check is at home in a cottage-style sitting room or a farmhouse kitchen, and the mix of soft flower colours sits comfortably with pastel cushions, painted furniture and a jug of fresh blooms.
Because it is MDF, the plaque is happiest indoors and away from damp, which keeps the design looking fresh. A gentle dust with a soft dry cloth is all the care it needs; avoid soaking it or using sprays. At 3cm deep it has a solid, chunky profile rather than the look of a thin board, so it holds its own beside taller pieces. For an easy seasonal change, set it out when the first daffodils appear and pair it with a vase of tulips, or wrap it as a cheerful little gift for anyone who looks forward to spring.
