Ad for Gamine Trunk Show
Meredith Moss helped promote “Shopping for good in the ‘wood” with an article in today’s paper. Hopefully, we’ll see lots of you at the Sarah Briggs and Kendra Scott Jewelry trunk show this Thursday.
Each of the participating shops has chosen a local beneficiary. For each sale made Thursday, July 9, the store will give 20 percent to their selected charity.
All of these shops are owned by women.
“I think with the current economy this is a trend with boutiques trying to do their part,” says Leigh LeBoeuf, who has been running her shop for four years. Gamine, formerly The Pink Daisy, sells high-end women’s contemporary designer clothing.
The charity she’s chosen is the Mark Kreusch Memorial Fund, a component of the Dayton Foundation. She says her choice is both personal and emotional.
“Mark was a 4-year-old boy killed tragically last August in a boating accident,” LeBoeuf says. “The foundation provides grants — they’ve built a playground at Mark’s pre-school and have recently redone an entire room at Oak Tree Corner, the grieving center for children who have lost a parent or someone special.
“I have children, Susie Kreusch is a friend, and this is a wonderful thing they are doing.”
Other participating shops are Collage, Whispers Home, Preen Apothecary, Fron Inside Out and Cork and Vine will be providing wine for our progressive wine tasting event that will begin at 4pm.
dvf jersey dress
We just love this easy jersey dress. The background is black with small tigers and hot pink eyes. Cap sleeves, V neck back and front and ruching make it a very flattering fit. While I love it with these Diego Di Luca cream, brown and black patent pumps, I can see it will tall boots when it gets cooler.
The Mark Andrew Kreusch Memorial Fund
We’re proud to be giving 20% of sales on July 9th to The Mark Kreusch Memorial Fund, a component of The Dayton Foundation, as we participate in this charity event:
Retailers from The Shops of Oakwood will donate 20 percent of sales on July 9 to the charity of their choice as a part of “Shopping for Good in the ‘Wood.”
The boutiques matched up with local charities as a way to give back to the community.
The pairings include:From Inside Out will give to the Human Race Theatre; Whisper’s Home will give to Clothes that Work; Preen Apothecary will donate to The Food Bank; Get Dressed will give to the Humane Society; and Collage will give to Culture Works.
As a part of the day devoted to giving back to the community and customers, each retailer will have special in-store events. Also, starting at 4 p.m., a free wine tasting donated by Cork & Vine Wine Market and Lounge will be served at the shops.

Susuano Monaco Summer just arrived and in it is a fabulous black string halter top. It is perfect for every size and goes great with white jeans or a dressy pair of black slacks. As always we love the fact that it doesn’t fade or wear out..
Response to our spring sale postcard has been amazing, but, just to be clear, it’s 20-50% off spring merchandise until it’s gone, not until we’re gone.
We’ve been placing orders for fall fashion and have our summer wear arriving daily.
Thanks for the concern, but, if you want the deals, you better hurry in.
All RESORT and SPRING merchandise is on sale starting today. Everything is marked down 20-50% OFF. I EVEN HAVE A FEW PIECES THAT ARE MARKED 60-80%. Stop in soon before it is gone!!

Today we received a beautiful silk brown and white embellished Milly dress. Perfect for a daytime wedding or cocktail party. There is no need for jewelry, just a great pair of gold heels!! There are also pockets and I just love pockets.
This dress will be worn on June 17th at the James Free Style show.
Milly 2009 Tribal Dress
I can’t believe I finally have a website and it is all thanks to The Next Wave.
As most everyone knows I spend an awful lot of time over at Preen and that is where I meet David Esrati, owner of The Next Wave. Nicole had been to his seminar and highly recommended it to me. I went and was very impressed with David and his ideas on how to grow a business. This website came out of that day I spent with David as well as my new look for business cards, stickers and advertisements all at a reasonable price.
I am never shy about giving praise when it is due and this is certainly one of those times. David, Allison (the designer) and Seth (webmaster) have been a delight to work with and I look forward to a long relationship between The Pink Daisy and The Next Wave.
