Patch Picks: Dunedin Boutiques Worth a Peek

Patch Picks is a weekly feature highlighting editor and reader picks of great local businesses, destinations, services, organizations, ways to spend a day off and more.

You’ll find useful lists to help you, your family, friends, and significant others find the best places for everything from Sunday brunch to New Year’s Eve celebrations, pumpkin patches, date night destinations, florists, girlfriends’ nights out, kids party places, parks and more. This week, we present Dunedin boutiques that are worth a peek.

Here they are:

• This family-owned and operated boutique features a beautiful selection of handmade shawls, scarves and hats. Rose Garden Boutique celebrates five years of business and its grand opening Saturday from 3 to 8 p.m.
• . This jewelry shop sells inexpensive replicas of actual jewelry worn by celebrities, such as Jacqueline Kennedy, Princess Diana and Marilyn Monroe. It’s with complimentary champagne and hors d'euvors Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m. If you decide to buy some Hollywood jewelry, you’ll also be entered for free into a prize drawing.
• Twice as Nice Consignment Boutique. This lady’s consignment boutique is so nice that it even allows time-strapped customers unable to shop during regular store hours the opportunity to sign up for VIP shopping hours. AND, it opens on the last Sunday of every month (ahem … that’s THIS Sunday) from noon to 4 p.m. This week, little black dresses, skirts, two-piece sets and jackets are HALF off!
• You’ll feel good about your purchases at this quaint little shop. It features refurbished furniture, work from local crafters, artisans and jewelers, and shop owner Deb Gelerter isn’t one to let you leave without a smile.
• . This Main Street pet grooming service is a place for your dog to get its hair did. It offers everything from a basic wash to full-service grooming including ears, nails and trimming, this pet salon does it all. Your pup will leave feeling like a pampered princess (or prince).
