Often times our most wonderful discoveries are merely the recognition of what is before us – and in this case under foot! Peg and Awl's botanical jewelry collection was inspired by their unearthing of the usefulness of invasive weeds and pays homage to its winged cultivator.

Wood Sorrel is a lovely clover look-alike with petit yellow flowers can be found nearly everywhere. Since our ‘discovery’ of this magical little weed with it’s crisp lemony taste, we have allowed it also to invade our kitchen. We have used it as a garnish atop desserts and cookies, and have shown it off in a vase when over-plucked. It regularly shows up in our salads, and in the tummies of our chickens.
