Mari Keating Schofield has fond memories of her childhood summers spent at Graydon Pool. She has generously offered to donate to The Preserve Graydon Coalition 15% of all sales of Graydon bracelets, anklets, and more for children and adults from her new shop, winnie & belle, on Godwin Avenue, 293 Godwin Avenue, Midland Park.

In addition, this Friday and Saturday ONLY, June 18 and 19, Mari will donate 20% of ALL SALES (not only Graydon-themed items) to The Preserve Graydon Coalition.

Mari's handmade items make great graduation and teacher/tutor appreciation gifts. They're fun to send to kids at camp and to Ridgewood friends who have moved away, and of course to keep for yourself.  How about matching Graydon bracelets for parents and children?

YES, these items can be shipped for a nominal fee. Call Mari at 201-389-3898 to discuss prices or write to her at winnieandbelle@gmail.com. All items ordered during store hours on June 18-19 will be included in the 20% Graydon donation offer. Graydon-themed items ordered at any time will provide a 15% donation to the Coalition.

Stretchy bracelets on strong, non-kinking flex wire. Adult size: multicolored plastic beads with "Preserve Graydon"  among plain beads, $18; with semiprecious stones, $32. Child size (girl or boy): bead with a heart precedes beads that say "Graydon," $12.

Anklet with clasp; semiprecious stones, glass beads, and a charm; says "Preserve Graydon," $32.

Other Graydon-themed items, such as key chains, can be made to order. Ask Mari! She loves to create new items.

Available ONLY at winnie & belle, 293 Godwin Ave., Midland Park, NJ. 201-389-3898.

Open Tuesday through Saturday, 10:30-5:30, plus extended hours on Thursdays (to 6:50 PM). Closed Sunday and Monday.

Where to go: Midland Park, south side of the street (on the left if coming from Ridgewood), near Prospect St. traffic light.

Where to park: Plenty of on-street parking behind the shop. If coming from Ridgewood, when you see traffic light ahead and a small group of stores on your left, turn left into Post St., which curves around behind the store, and park on the street.

Even non-Graydon-themed items will generate 20% to the Coalition on Friday and Saturday, June 18-19, only:

• Gift bags for teachers, nannies, tutors, crossing guards
• Gifts for bridal and wedding parties
• Day at the Beach canvas bags
• Hand-printed cards
• Hand-painted baby onesies, sets of undershirt and socks, and more (order a red pail and yellow shovel design for a tiny Graydon fan?)

Mari's jewelry incorporates hand-picked vintage and contemporary treasures. One-of-a-kind jewelry and custom orders are welcome. Order this Friday or Saturday and the Coalition will receive 20%.
