YOUR GRAND TRAVERSE REAL ESTATE EXPERT
Needle in a Haystack Lizzi Lambert’s Haystacks has a new location on Union Street in Old Town, Traverse City. It may be a little harder to find, but it’s sure worth the effort. Hunting for treasures on sale racks is always a fun pastime, and at her new Haystacks Store every item has a sale tag. Hello! If you’re a serious shopaholic, that’s music to the ears! “I’d like to call it a Customer Appreciation Store,” says Lizzi. The store looks like any of her other locations, chockablock full of dresses, pants, and tops and, of course, the Haystacks famed skirts made right here in Northern Michigan—not to mention jewelry, bags, and a whole lot more. Many were shipped in from other stores and overruns from the design studio, and it makes up an entire inventory in one. But all on SALE! “I’ve always loved Old Town so was intrigued with the idea,” says Lizzi. Just two steps over from the Blue Tractor, Haystacks is sure going to have Old Town hopping!

Centennial Celebration Never underestimate the power of a woman. This year celebrates the 100th birthday of the Omena Women’s Club (OWC). Way back in 1915, it all started with seven determined and forward-thinking women, and it is now arguably the oldest women’s club in Michigan. Women in the area got together, fostered friendships, and focused on community needs. During both World Wars, OWC members supported the war efforts; more recently, they have supported the American Cancer Society and the American Red Cross. Today, the OWC supports Blessings in a Backpack, providing fresh and packaged foods to over 180 needy and low-income children in the Leelanau County schools. One hundred years of doing good is a really big deal, and the fabulous ladies plan to celebrate this momentous event in the girliest of ways with a fun lunch and fashion show. They know how to party, and you’re all invited! Mark your calendars for noon on Tuesday, August 18, OmenaTraverse Yacht Club on Omena Point Rd. omenawomensclub@aol.com JULY/AUGUST 2015 | BAY LIFE NORTH
