A Small Reminder of Growth and Grace
Growth rarely happens all at once. It unfolds one step, one lesson, and one act of courage at a time.
The Work in Progress Stone Heart is a simple yet meaningful reminder to extend grace to yourself along the journey. Inspired by the words of Maya Angelou—"Do the best you can until you know better. Then, when you know better, do better."—this hand-carved heart symbolizes growth, resilience, and the beauty of becoming.
Smooth and comforting in the hand, it serves as a daily reminder that progress matters more than perfection. Keep it on a desk, nightstand, or in a pocket as a tangible encouragement to keep moving forward, even when the path feels uncertain.
Each heart is hand-carved from natural stone by skilled artisans in Kenya using traditional techniques passed down through generations. Fair trade practices help create sustainable income opportunities while celebrating the unique beauty found in every piece.
Whether given as a gift of encouragement, displayed in a meaningful space, or carried as a personal reminder, the Work in Progress Stone Heart offers a quiet message of hope: you are growing, learning, and becoming exactly as you should.
Handcrafted by fair trade artisans in Kenya, each stone heart supports sustainable livelihoods and preserves traditional craftsmanship. No two hearts are exactly alike, making each one as unique as the journey it represents.
Because each heart is carved from natural stone, colors and patterns will vary. Expect beautiful natural variations ranging from cream and gray to blush pink and warm earth tones.
A small heart with a powerful message: progress, not perfection.
