Tell 'em I sent ya

Brooke at Pink Saloon, at Douglas and Oliver, says if you go in to the store and mention this newsletter, she'll give you the "Shop for Bargains With Bonnie Special." She still has some great pieces on the fall and winter sale racks, and she'll give you an extra 20 percent off of those sale prices.

Soles4Souls

Cole Haan wants everyone to know that its annual Soles4Souls campaign has started. You can participate by going to www.giveshoes.org and making a minimum donation of $10. You'll get tax deduction documentation and a coupon for 20 percent off a pair of Cole Haan shoes. The charity distributes donated shoes to people in need all over the world. So far, it's given away more than 7 million pairs and is currently donating one pair every nine seconds. Now that's a lot of happy feet.

Book it!

"Lift" by Kelly Corrigan is the book of the week at Watermark Books, Douglas and Oliver in Lincoln Heights Shopping Center. It's been described by one critic as "a meditation on the complexities of a woman's life." The book is discounted 30 percent off this week. It's usually $17; get it this week for $12.64. Mark at Watermark said, "It's a great gift book for women. It's Kelly green so it's a perfect St. Patrick's read."

Pier pressure

Need more dining chairs? Need a new table? Shelly at Pier I Imports says they're having a dining special for this entire month to get everyone ready for Easter and spring. Not everything having to do with dining is on sale, but there is a good selection. It's a good stop if you need some extras. Nobody wants to eat the Easter ham with a plastic fork.

The ahhhh factor

Salon Knotty at 1447 N. Rock Road is offering the egg white facial as its facial of the month. It's regularly $75 but costs just $50 this month. "We have that facial, plus a Swedish massage, for $99," Pam told me. That's a savings of nearly $50. Also, get your hair colored and receive a $10 discount on your haircut.
