Mosslight: An Heirloom Collaboration with Cara Rosalie Olsen

At Coeur et Maman, our purpose is to help families create lasting traditions through heirloom gifts. Every piece in our collection is conceived not as a fleeting decoration, but as something to be treasured - a keepsake that holds memory, beauty, and meaning for years to come.

This autumn, we are honoured to partner with celebrated artist Cara Rosalie Olsen in a collaboration that perfectly embodies this vision. The first release is Mosslight, a one-of-a-kind piece available exclusively through auction. Soon after, we will unveil three limited-edition mount board designs created with Cara, available to families through pre-sale.

Together, these pieces mark a collaboration rooted in heritage, artistry, and the joy of gifting something truly

Mosslight: A Rare Auction Piece

Mosslight is more than art. It is a meditation on light, nature, and quiet strength. Created as the first offering in our collaboration, it is being auctioned to ensure that this singular work becomes a genuine heirloom for the family who acquires it. Part of the proceeds from the auction will be donated to Great Ormond Street Hospiral Children’s Charity, an organisation whose tireless work to improve the lives of children with severe illness can’t be commended enough. You can learn more about their incredible work HERE. 

Like all Coeur et Maman creations, Mosslight has been designed to grow with your home  - equally at ease in a nursery, living room, or library. It reflects our belief that the most meaningful gifts are those that accompany a family through life’s stages, carrying with them the story of where they began.

About Cara Rosalie Olsen

The artist and namesake behind Rosalie Gwen, Cara Rosalie Olsen is known for her expressive florals and her ability to give modern form to vintage beauty. Her work captures the elegance of nature and translates it into heirloom keepsakes: hand-painted ornaments, decorative dishes, and delicate candles.

She is also the author of Botanical Watercolor Painting for Beginners and teaches thousands of students through her popular Skillshare classes. Based in California with her husband Michael and their daughters Hazel and Violet, Cara combines her vocation as an artist with her identity as a mother - a balance that gives her work a sense of intimacy and sincerity that resonates deeply with families.

This collaboration unites Cara’s artistry with Coeur et Maman’s ethos of heritage gifting, resulting in pieces designed to be treasured for generations.

Looking Ahead: The Pre-Sale Collection

While Mosslight is a singular work available only at auction, it is also a prelude to something more. Within the month, Coeur et Maman will release three mount board designs created with Cara, available on pre-sale in limited numbers.

These designs celebrate nature’s quiet poetry through expressive brushwork and timeless colour, offering families a way to frame their most precious memories with artistry and elegance. Like all of our mount boards, they are designed to complement heirloom photographs, letters, family recipes, children’s artwork, and fine art - transforming keepsakes into pieces of heritage to be displayed and passed down.

We invite you to join the waiting list HERE to be the first to view the collection and secure your choice when pre-sale opens. Availability will be limited, and we expect demand to be high.

Why Heritage Gifting Matters

At Coeur et Maman, we believe that gifting is more than the exchange of objects. It is about creating traditions, anchoring family identity, and investing in beauty that lasts. An heirloom gift tells a story - one that begins today, but continues through generations.

The collaboration with Cara Rosalie Olsen reflects this philosophy. Whether through the one-of-a-kind Mosslight or the forthcoming mount boards, each piece is designed not only to adorn a home, but to become part of
