We have a long-time family friend, Christie, who has started not just a new business but a new philanthropy.
Christie has opened Caroline's in the little village of Aptos (about 10 minutes south of Santa Cruz). Caroline's is a resale shop, but like everything Christie does, it has style and panache.
What's on sale includes clothing (including designer labels), vintage dishes and collectibles, framed artworks, and children's items including toys.
The profits from the store go to Christie's real love: nonprofits serving children throughout Santa Cruz County.
