springtime at hazelnut cottage

child of my heart

spring has barely sprung but hazelnut cottage creator jan avellana is busy crafting her popular jewelry line in preparation for mother's day. longtime readers know that the handstamped pieces are a sweet sentiment that can be personalized with the names of your little ones, a secret message, or whatever you please making the designs the perfect foil for tenderhearted mums.

for moms who prefer to keep their maternal instincts a bit more undercover, the recently introduced child of my heart design can be composed with one to three organically shaped circles as a little reminder of those you want to keep near your heart even when you are apart.
