Description
This wooden photo frame counts the days until a baby arrives, with a black chalkboard heart for the number and a window for the scan picture. Its matt off-white face has a soft pink tint and carries the printed words 'days until we meet our little one' in gentle grey lettering, scattered with tiny gold stars and pale crescent moons. Stitch sits in the lower corner as a raised cut-out, ears up and hugging a little doll close, in soft watercolour blues. The single rectangular window takes a 4 x 3in print. The square frame is 18cm tall, 17.5cm wide and 0.5cm deep.
We think it belongs wherever the family will see it every day: a bedside table, the mantelpiece, a hallway console or a shelf in the nursery as it comes together. Chalk the number on the heart each morning, snap a picture, then wipe it clean to write the next. The countdown becomes a small daily ritual and a record of the weeks as they pass. Anyone fond of Stitch will smile at the cheeky character. Once the baby is home, the scan can stay put, so the frame carries on as a sweet keepsake for the nursery.
The frame is made from wood with a matt finish. It stands on an easel back, so it needs no wall or fixings. Small turn buttons on the reverse hold the backing board in place. Swivel them aside to lift the board out, slide in the scan and close it up again. Dust the frame with a soft dry cloth. Clear old chalk from the heart with a dry or barely damp cloth, and let it dry before you write again. For a thoughtful gift, pop a stick of chalk in alongside so the countdown can start the day it is opened.
