Footwear, outerwear and clothing 

featured at Forest Bootery in Lake Forest 

One of today’s oldest footwear 

dynasties in the nation began at 

the Forest Bootery in Lake Forest 

Market Square and is celebrating 

its 70th year. Second 

generation owners, “the Girls,” 

Cristina and Cara Garrison grew 

up in the fashion footwear industry 

learning at an early age from 

their parents. After graduating 

college the pair came home and 

found their father was planning 

on selling the store. Not wanting 

to let their heritage go in 1996 

they became the fourth owners 

of the Forest Bootery that 

was established in November of 

1949. 

“I remember going to New 

York with our father when I was 

around 13,” Cara Garrison said, 

“and meeting some of the great 

designers like Ralph Lauren, 

Joan & David Helpern and I remember 

Sam & Libby Edelman 

when they were first launching 

their line in the 1980s. We would 

help pick out styles that we liked 

and my dad would listen to us for 

teen direction.” That was what it 

was like for the girls growing 

up in a family business. Cristina 

remembers “when the store 

had parties we had to be there to 

serve refreshments.” Historically 

every downtown across America 

had a store that sold family 

shoes and leather goods called a 

“Bootery.” Fast forward, today, 

the Forest Bootery’s assortment 

is much more than just shoes for 

the family. When the legendary 

outerwear store, the Outdoorsman, 

closed its doors they 

acquired the brand The North 

Face, in the past few years they 

started carrying women’s ready 

to wear. “It’s about having what 

our customers need so they don’t 

have to shop somewhere other 

than their home downtown” says 

Cristina “we are a local landmark 

and a leader. We put in 

clothing because the tenant mix 

in the Square was missing this, 

well, and it’s super fun to buy.” 

What’s going to happen with 

the Forest Bootery? Cara says 

“We are just not sure with closed 

store fronts on Market Square 

and online footwear sales climbing, 

it’s true, our Lake Forest location 

has been struggling. Consumers 

have evolved and don’t 

always shop local before clicking 

online, it’s just too easy. Its 

hurting retail and I worry gone 

will be the days of going out 

shopping. Shop less in stores and 

then stores will have to carry less 

and so goes the cycle. We plan on 

continuing our search of finding 

that special niche online to help 

preserve our brick and mortar 

footprint.” The “Bootery” is rich 

in heritage and its flagship location 

is located in Historic Market 

Square in Lake Forest, Ill. They 

have been serving the communities 

of Lake Forest and Lake 

Bluff for seventy years. Their 

Libertyville location opened its 

doors in 2005.

CLOTHING 

A North Shore institution 

as long as anybody 

remembers, Schaefer’s 

Wines & Spirits ages like 

a treasure bottled of wine. 

Located on its iconic Old 

Orchard and Gross Point 

Roads corner, Schaefer’s 

is the first stop when it’s 

time to party, celebrate 

or commemorate. And at 

the holidays it’s a must 

stop. 

Schaefer’s beverage 

history dates back to the 

John Schaefer tavern on 

High Ridge in Wilmette 

during to the late 1890s. 

After prohibition, George 

Schaefer operated the 

Boundary Tavern at its 

current location. Since 

then, the store has garnered 

a national reputation 

for wines, foods &, 

most importantly, unparalleled 

service. 

The store’s third generation 

president, Anje 

Schaefer Cluxton, comments: 

“In an age of big 

boxes, we stay true to 

customer service excellence 

combined with a 

deep selection of wine, 

beers and spirits. Our 

celebrated food department, 

with specialty delicacies, 

artisan cheeses 

and amazing homemade 

soups, dips and spreads, 

rounds out the offerings.” 

For generations, holiday 

parties officially begin 

when the Schaefer’s 

truck arrives in the driveway 

with libations and 

those stacked boxes of 

glassware. Enjoy free delivery, 

fully credited returns 

and, yes, even free 

loaner glassware. Every 

budget, and palette, is accommodated. 

It’s a stress 

free holiday. 

“I’m here for you, we 

will take care of everything,” 

says Dan Madden, 

Schaefer’s go-to party 

guy for over 30 years. 

A holiday gift from 

Schaefer’s, packed in 

their signature boxes, 

says it all. It brings a 

smile to every recipient. 

By phone, web or in 

person, Schaefer’s veteran 

team of experts is 

peerless. Whether it’s a 

professional gift list, or 

a thirsty parent, they’re 

ready for you. Need 

something special? Select 

a cellar wine and ask 

about bottle engraving. 

Relax with the experts 

— they’re part of our local 

history and “setting 

the bar” in all respects 

since 1936.

Razny Jewelers creates beautiful pieces 

with brilliant diamonds, precious metals 

Forever is a long time 

— until you’re in love. 

Thereafter, hours pass like 

seconds. A quick glance. 

A knowing smile. Each 

moment together is an opportunity 

for an expression 

of warm affection. Like 

one single tile of a mosaic, 

love turns eternity into 

quick flashes forming the 

beautiful whole of a new 

forever. 

For almost 70 years, 

Razny Jewelers has listened 

to the stories of 

couples from all over Chicago 

and beyond. Each is 

unique and worth celebrating. 

With these beautiful 

bonds in mind, we were inspired 

to create a selection 

of engagement rings and 

wedding bands reflecting 

the everlasting brilliance 

of true love. 

It was essential to us 

that, aside from being distinctive, 

this exclusive collection 

encompasses the 

many styles and tastes of 

today’s brides. We took 

great care to guarantee 

modern silhouettes shine 

just as brilliantly as their 

classic counterparts. The 

most popular diamond 

shapes and settings, with a 

few outlier designs added 

for variety, were all skillfully 

formed by our inhouse 

design team. 

It is a collection we are 

proud to call Forever by 

Razny. 

Forever by Razny is currently 

on display at our 

Highland Park boutique 

in Chicagoland’s North 

Shore neighborhood. 

Ingrid Razny shines a 

light on the inspiration behind 

each design. “Beginning 

their lives together, it 

is important for a couple 

to have a jeweler they can 

trust. A new home, anniversaries, 

and babies are 

only a few of the many 

milestones they’ll be celebrating 

for generations to 

come. Look to Forever by 

Razny as a collection from 

which to begin a beautiful 

and happy friendship — 

between our family and 

yours. Here you’ll find 

your forever-ring, from 

your forever jeweler.” 

No two love stories are 

the same, and the most important 

jewelry you own 

should reflect your unique 

story. Forever by Razny is 

made with only the most 

brilliant diamonds and 

precious metals, honoring 

love’s individuality.

discover the full collection

6 chef-approved suggestions for a merry holiday season 

StatePoint media 

Heading into the holidays can be both 

exciting and terrifying. Part of the stress 

factor comes from food and drink -- specifically, 

what to serve guests, bring to 

parties and how to stay healthy and centered 

through the thick of it. 

To help take the worry out of the season 

and amp up the fun, Mark Estee, a nationally 

recognized chef, is offering helpful 

suggestions. 

1. Heat. Chips and salsa, a staple at many 

gatherings, don’t have to be boring. 

Swap out run-of-the-mill salsa with 

something fresher and more delicious. 

Estee’s brand of choice is Killer Salsa, 

a delicious, small-batch salsa made in 

Nevada for over 20 years. Flavors include 

Original, Salsa Verde, Hot and 

Garlic, all of which are made with 

simple, clean ingredients that will add 

some kick in your crunch. To add wintertime 

flair, pour the salsa over goat 

cheese or cream cheese and warm it in 

the oven. 

2. Simple Bites. Whether you’re partyhopping 

and need something to contribute 

or you just want to rock the appetizer 

spread, keep things simple. Grab a 

local baguette and pick up Liberty Artisan 

Meats’ new ‘Nduja salami, a particularly 

spicy, Calabrian chili salami 

that goes great on crusty, fresh bread or 

as a pizza topping. Unlike typical salami, 

it’s high-fat content and finer grind 

make it spreadable. 

3. Drink. The best way to roll into a party 

is with a premade cocktail in tow. This 

is because barrel-aged cocktails can 

taste better than many of those that are 

freshly-made, due to the texture added 

throughout the aging process. Bring a 

premium, barrel-agedDoc Pepe’s Lab 

cocktail to that holiday party. The classic, 

yet craftily curated cocktails are 

made in small batches with ingredients 

from scratch. The only ingredient 

you’ll need to add is ice -- no bartender 

required. 

4. Toasts. When life gives you lemons 

-- or the end of the party -- say cheers 

with PèpeCello. For those end-of-night 

toasts, enjoy this crisp, tart all-natural 

limoncello liqueur by itself or add a 

splash to your favorite prosecco to 

For your Holiday prep 

GET THE SKIN YOU NEED 

before everything else. 

Beauty begins with Beautiful Skin, and Beautiful Skin begins with 

a Healthy Body. 

Dr. Josie L. Tenore, M.D., M.Sc. 

Medical Director & Founder of FreshSkin Medical Spa & Wellness Center 

make an irresistible spritz. Hand-crafted 

in small batches in Sorrento, Italy, 

the family recipe is made with only certified, 

organic Sorrento lemons. 

5. The Next Day. Thinking of how to get 

up and do it again? Thinking of getting 

up and heading to the gym or work? Be 

sure you’re prepped for the party’s aftermath. 

While a cup of coffee will get 

your eyes open, after a particularly festive 

holiday gathering, you might want 

an extra boost. A new line of beverages 

called Drink Nutrient work with our 

body’s natural structure for increased 

absorption and efficacy of nutrients, 

and are a good way to rehydrate, enhance 

health and defend against winter 

bugs. 

6. Warm Up. You can also recuperate, or 

help others to, with tea. Just in time for 

cooler weather, Davidson’s Organic 

Teas has released its new Earl Grey 

Cream and Earl Grey Roseblends, great 

to have on hand all winter long. The 

brand’s new subscription style Mood 

Boxes also make for thoughtful, healthful 

holiday gifts. Choose from Cleanse 

, Focus, Immunity and Motivate Mood 

Boxes. 

While this list may be small, it has you 

covered for all you’ll need this “holidaze” 

season!

What ‘5b2f ’ stands for at Wilmette restaurant 

5b2f was inspired by a bible 

story about a boy with five 

loaves of bread and two fish. 

A young boy brought a lunch 

which has five loaves of bread

boy gave Jesus his lunch with 

which Jesus transforms the boy’s 

humble offering of lunch into 

fantastic feast enough to feed 

5,000 people with 12 full baskets 

of food leftover. 

We are inspired to be God’s 

tool. When we give Jesus what 

we have (even though it is so 

tiny), Jesus feeds many people

Greg and I are so excited 

to work with the homeowners 

in the North Shore. 

We began our careers 

working in window treatments 

over 20 years ago. 

We have learned so much 

working with various 

companies, but always felt 

something was missing. 

Greg and I decided that we 

wanted the freedom to offer 

more options to meet 

our client needs and we 

remain passionate about 

making a connection and 

finding what works best 

for your home. When we 

opened our Chicago showroom 

in 2011, the vendors 

were surprised that we 

wanted to expand when 

other companies were pulling 

back economically, we 

saw a need that we could 

fulfill. The products that 

you put in your home are 

an expression of you and 

we love to get to know our 

clients with a consultative 

process that brings together 

ideas to find the blind, 

shade, or custom drapery 

that will be functional and 

beautiful. 

We grew a successful 

business which we expanded 

in March by assuming 

ownership of a 

beautiful showroom in 

downtown Wilmette. We 

enhanced the brands we 

offer to cover every option 

based on your desired look 

and budget. Window treatments 

protect your privacy 

and can boost energy efficiency. 

Our designers help 

you understand all the options 

available, prioritize 

quality over quantity, precisely 

measure and achieve 

correct proportions. Check

designers come to your

harandcamp.com. 

Established in 1955, Harand 

Camp was one of the 

first residential camps to 

combine musical theater 

with the fun of traditional 

camp life. Located on the 

beautiful campus of Carthage 

College in Kenosha, 

Harand offers performing 

arts training for campers 

ages 7 to 18, plus sports, 

activities, and camp fun 

in a supportive, family environment. 

Sessions run 

one, three or six weeks 

and culminate with largescale 

performances in a 

400-seat, state-of-the-art 

theater. 

In preparation for 

shows, campers take daily 

classes in singing, dancing, 

and acting with occasional 

evening rehearsals. 

Harand Camp adheres to 

a non-competitive philosophy 

where “no man 

is an island” and everyone 

is a star. It is the goal for 

everyone to develop performance 

skills while also 

building self-confidence. 

Harand is a second home 

to thousands of alums 

worldwide who have built 

lifelong friendships and 

cherished memories. 

During the first threeweek 

session (June 21 – 

July 12) campers perform 

in a major musical revue 

featuring the entire camp. 

Each group stars in two 

sections of non-stop singing 

and dancing wearing 

amazing costumes. During 

the second three-week 

session (July 13 – Aug. 2) 

each age group prepares 

a full-length musical with 

every camper performing a 

lead role and in the ensemble 

– ensuring everyone 

has the chance to shine. 

Campers may also attend 

for six weeks (June 

21 – August 2) or a unique 

one-week session (June 

21 – 27) exclusive to new 

campers, ages 7-12. This 

option is perfect for children 

who have never been 

away from home. Space in 

the one-week program is 

very limited. 

In addition to the theatre 

program, campers take 

three electives per day. 

Options include a variety 

of sports, fitness, fine arts 

and activity classes as well 

as additional performing 

arts and production electives. 

Every evening features 

an exciting schedule 

of cabin nights, events, 

all-camp games, concerts 

and trips bowling, skating, 

or to a local entertainment 

park. 

Campers also enjoy the 

comfort of modern facilities, 

residing in dorms 

overlooking Lake Michigan. 

Delicious meals are 

served in a renovated dining 

hall with an extensive 

menu by Sodexo. Accommodations 

can be made 

for special dietary needs. 

Other amenities include: 

Olympic-size pool, 

dance & fitness center, 

on-campus security, nurse, 

low camper/staff ratio, and 

ACA Accreditation (Program 

Excellence Award). 

Harand Camp strives to 

make the camp experience 

affordable for all families 

and offers a variety of discounts, 

payment plans and 

scholarships. Need-based 

scholarships are awarded

Scholarship Fund, a 501c3

6 tips to celebrate within your means this holiday season 

StatePoint media 

For many families, the 

holiday season is the most 

expensive time of year. 

Americans spent over 

$707 billion dollars during 

the 2018 holidays, according 

to the National Retail 

Federation, and it would 

be no surprise for spending 

to increase in 2019. 

“It is important to ensure 

you are spending 

wisely and not turning the 

new year into a time of 

new debt,” says Michael 

McAuliffe, president of 

Family Credit Management, 

a non-profit creditcounseling 

agency. 

To spend sensibly and 

with good cheer this season, 

consider these tips 

from McAuliffe and the 

experts at Family Credit 

Management. 

• Set a budget: While you 

should be following a 

budget throughout the 

year, it’s important to 

have a holiday-specific 

budget too. Figure out 

how much you are able 

to spend on each person’s 

gift and stick to 

it. This will help you 

consider those big-ticket 

items more seriously 

and make it possible for 

you to stay on track. 

• Decorate wisely: With a 

tight budget, consider 

using last year’s decorations 

or making homemade 

decorations, as a 

fun, money-saving project 

to do with the whole 

family. While there’s no 

real need to buy new, 

expensive decorations 

every year, if you are so 

inclined, don’t forget to 

include that in your holiday 

budget. 

• Think about shipping: 

Online deals might look 

great, and many times 

they are. Other times, 

they’re not really deals 

at all because of shipping 

costs. If you are going 

to shop online, make 

sure to keep an eye out 

for free shipping days 

offered by many retailers 

and to factor in shipping, 

when necessary, 

into your overall spending 

plan. 

• Don’t shop because 

you’re “supposed” to: 

Just because it’s Black 

Friday or Cyber Monday, 

doesn’t mean you 

have to shop. While 

there are some good 

deals offered during 

these events, just as frequently, 

the deals are not 

super special once you 

look at the normal price 

and product reviews. 

Unfortunately, marketing 

teams are great at 

knowing how to access 

wallets through product 

placement and signage, 

and shopping during 

these times will increase 

impulse spending and 

make it much harder to 

stick to a holiday budget. 

• Use apps to price check: 

Technology is great! 

There are many apps 

out there to price-check 

items while you’re shopping, 

so you can make 

sure you are getting the 

best deal. Some retail 

stores will even adjust 

the price in-store when 

you have found a better 

deal online. 

• Leave the credit cards at 

home: Put your holiday 

budget on a pre-paid 

debit card or gift card 

that you can use anywhere. 

Going shopping 

with only that card will 

help ensure that you 

don’t spend more than 

your budgeted amount. 

Not only will it help you 

stay within budget, but it 

will also help your purchase 

stay interest-free. 

For free money-saving 

and budget tips that you 

can use year-round, visit 

familycredit.org/resources. 

Don’t let the holidays 

take a toll on your 2020 

finances. A few key strategies 

can help you celebrate 

within budget.



Torino Ramen introduces experimental dishes to popular fare 

The No. 1 ramen place 

in the North Shore is lively 

open and Torino just completed 

its new expansion. 

Torino Ramen is a Japanese 

spot known for its variety

noodle bowls and other 

classic Japanese gourmet 

dishes. Torino Ramen is 

proud to announce our expansion

next door includes a much 

larger seating area along

including beer, wine, cocktails, 

spirits and of course

“One of the best dining 

experiences I have had in 

over a year.” The goal with 

our Kaiseki Torino dinner 

is to allow our customers 

to have full authentic Japanese 

experience with a variety 

of platters that would

night of Kaiseki Torino, 

the Japanese progressive 

dining experience, featuring

Master Chef Yuji Hayashi 

and served in an intimate 

candlelit setting. 

Torino Ramen is genuinely 

the best bowl of ramen 

outside of Tokyo, 

Japan. We hope to see as 

many of you guys in the 

near future. Come stay 

warm with us during ramen 

season. We are delighted 

for you to check 

out Torino Ramen, our 

new Bar Torino, and our 

Kaiseki Torino Events. 

Torino Ramen opened in 

early 2017 with three Japanese 

natives who shared 

the common goal. It was 

created with one mission in 

mind to create authentic and 

hearty ramen for the Windy 

City’s North Shore. At Torino, 

we have always taken 

pride in what we make as 

it represents our childhood 

and where we came from in 

Japan. Ultimately bringing 

the taste and feel of Japenese 

culture over to the suburbs 

of Chicago. 

Torino is the brainchild 

of Chikako and her partners, 

Tomoko and Chika, 

who fell in love with Japan 

and its vibrant ramen 

scene. Torino’s iconic flavorful 

taste started with 

recipes created in their 

family kitchens and they 

perfected the perfect noodle 

bowl through a dozen 

customizations of personal 

tastes and preferences 

keeping the traditions of 

authentic food made with 

love and integrity.
