Invite a playful and serene vibe to your nursery with these 1960s Pete Hawley fiberglass plaques, featuring a charming Mid-Century aesthetic and whimsical, textured relief illustrations of childhood innocence.

Renowned for his commercial illustration work, Hawley’s charming "bedtime" series captures a moment of quiet devotion, featuring a young girl and boy in their evening pajamas accompanied by their favorite toys and a faithful puppy.

The unique fiberglass medium provides a grounded, timeless feel, catching the light in a way that traditional paper prints cannot. Whether displayed as a pair above a crib in a "Playhouse" nursery or as part of a larger mid-century gallery wall, these plaques serve as a functional relic of 1960s family life. Their durable construction and iconic illustrated style ensure they remain a cheerful conversation piece, bringing a sense of historic charm and garden-inspired beauty to the modern home.
