Lake Forest Sports Cars Event Coordinator Bryn Fabbri — enjoying the new McLaren 650S Spider — is looking forward to the Chicago Auto Show.
Shop leaves Wilmette for Kenilworth T he antique and interior design store Alexis Vintiques Design relocated to Kenilworth recently from its storefront in Wilmette. Owner Alexis Reynolds was looking for a new space to “freshen up” her look when she came upon the available space on Green Bay Road. On first glance it looked like any other retail space — but when she discovered the attached 1914 barn and annexed garden space she was hooked. Reynolds decided it was the “perfect time to celebrate the anniversary of the barn and open a store there.” Reynolds learned from the Kenilworth Historical Society that the barn is included on the National Registry of Historic Places. The barn will be used as
storage and also serve as the historic backdrop in the garden she plans to open in the spring. The garden will also feature unique garden furniture, pots and decorative items. Reynolds continues to showcase her Nantucket style, with white baskets hanging from the ceiling, oars hung on the wall, and smatterings of vintage and antique furniture painted Nantucket blue throughout the store. The first room is the more “formal room,” explains Reynolds, with antique and restored chandeliers hanging from the tall ceilings. A trophy swordfish, sailfish and blue marlin are mounted on the walls, while a Norwegian kayak is perched over a doorway. ~ Emily Spectre

As she opened the liturgy, which featured music from the joyful voices of students in the St. Malachy Gospel Choir, Woodlands Academy senior Isabel Enad of Lake Bluff praised the strong bond between
