where we started

mom & dad.jpg

While growing up on Mission Road in Prairie Village, Kansas, I was taught to do my part in and for this world. As far as I knew, my father founded the "reduce, reuse, recycle" philosophy. He then, and still, saves almost everything, gives away what he doesn't have room to save, and recycles what he can't give away. My parents are conscientious of our world and all that is in it.  They open their home, table and hearts to everyone they meet.  They live modestly, humbly share their gifts and are examples of kindness and love.

​

Inspired by my parents, I wanted to use my gifts  I wanted to open a retail establishment that has purpose beyond just fabulous products at reasonable prices.  I wanted to find a way to use retail as a means of giving back, a boutique for a better world.  After years of planning, searching, wishing and dreaming we found our first brick and mortar in downtown Oconomowoc.  Overwhelmed with excitement we filled it with what we call "purposeful products", items that are made and sold with the intention of doing good.  We are continually looking for and adding new products with purpose, some of the lines we currently carry are Love Your Melon (improves the lives of children battling cancer), TOMS (invests â…“ of their profits into grassroots efforts, organizations creating change at the local level and driving progress from the ground up), Sips Drinkware (dedicated to solving the water crisis in Uganda), Caus Stainless Steel Tumblers (a multitude of life changing causes), Joyn Bags and Prosperity Candles (fair trade organizations generating jobs and better lives for global makers), Ivory Ella (dedicated to saving the elephants).  In addition to purposeful products we look forward to donating a portion of our profits each month to different charities, to date we have donated over $10,000 to our Missions of the Month.  I'm proud to say, thanks to the support of people like you, we truly are Doing Good in Style.
