Heart Stones

by Josie Iselin

Great gift for the heart stone collector

Very unique book for a person who loves to collect heart stones, or hearts of any kind really. Simple layout and nice photographs. I would definitely purchase again for a gift.

A Gift For and From the Heart

This is a sweet, charming book! I have been collecting heart shaped rocks for many years -- it's amazing how many there truly are to find. Perhaps this is nature's way of reminding us that our hearts are always available, near, accessible, and ever present amidst the often overlooked details of our chaotic, busy and overscheduled lives. Thanks for the reminder that love is everywhere!

Perfect.

This will make the perfect little gift for my sister who is an avid collector of heart stones.

Great Little Book

This is a cute Little Book, (little) But the pictures are great. I have been collecting Heart Shaped Stones for all my adult life, and now have my family members looking for them too. Heart Shaped Stones are just so neat. When you find one its like finding a treasure!

amazing

my mother used to collect stone hearts - sometime I just couldn't 'see' the heart shape but she always could - it must be an artist thing - there is now a small following of her artist friends than manage to find all the hearts along the shoreline. its a gift she was able to share with them and now, I found this book - I wish I could have shared it with her. Its beautiful and brought back so many wonderful memories - it prompted me to really look at the stones I've massed together from mom - there are so many hearts - i never knew the treasures so close at hand. now maybe I'll be able to find those washed up on the shore. Its a wonder book - a simple joy.
