While you were busy having a swell ol' Thursday doing whatever it is you do best, the Salish Sea Sisters were movin', shakin' and Spring cleanin' their high-heeled, perfectly coiffed hearts out! 

There was furniture moving this way and that - from this side to the other - new furniture in, some out! WHEW! (And of course we looked this good in the process!) 

Come in for a visit and see how a little rearranging can give you a whole new perspective on all things artful!

A single pebble, polished by the rhythm of the Salish Sea, becomes an earthy yet chic pendant wrapped in sterling silver. 

Textured as well as smooth silver are then combined and added to resemble kelp to give each piece a true west coast flavour. 

Coastally inspired Kim Naylor is the talented artist behind Keeping Afloat creations.
 

Each pendant drops approximately one and a half inches from a long silky cord. $28 each

Buying for that darn person who have everything?
