Meet the Team

Donalee Kennedy

Operating this business is my dream come true! We’re perched on the south shore of Lake Superior and every day I can hardly wait to get into the studio. My favorite time is spent at my bench, but meeting and greeting our physical & website visitors is very exciting for me. I grew up collecting stones, so to me that’s where each piece starts. My glass is always more than half full, and I love people. We’d like to get to know you better. A word about my team… FANTASTIC! I feel very fortunate that this group cares about my business and my dream almost as much as I do. That’s a rare thing in business.

 

Robin Shilman

It feels like my friend Robin has worked here for years, but really she joined our team in 2008. Many times since 2000 she would stop on her way home from her "real" job to help me finish up with an order! She helps with everything from scheduling, production and is our main beader. She is always ready with a funny story or joke of some kind. I'm very grateful to have a friend like Robin!
