🌿 Love Where You Live

Nora Saintz started Gardenette to help homeowners design their dream yards—and then show them how to make it happen themselves. Whether you want a cozy garden retreat or a family-friendly backyard, she creates a personalized roadmap so you can install it at your own pace without breaking the bank.

It all began when a friend stood in her bare backyard, totally overwhelmed. “She’d gotten quotes from landscaping companies that made her jaw drop—not in a good way. She said, ‘I’d love to do some of this myself, but I have no idea where to start or what would even look good together.’ That’s when it hit me—tons of people want beautiful outdoor spaces and are willing to get their hands dirty, they just need someone to show them the way.”

What sets Gardenette apart?

“I design like you're actually the one holding the shovel. While other designers create pretty pictures that require a crew of professionals, I think about what you can find at your local garden center on a Saturday morning. I plan projects you can tackle in phases—maybe start with the patio area this spring, add the flower beds in fall. Real life, real budgets, real weekends.”

Favorite part of the job?

“Nothing beats getting a photo from a client standing in their finished garden with dirt under their fingernails and the biggest smile on their face. They’ll text me things like ‘I can't believe I actually did this!’ or ‘My kids helped me plant everything and now they check on "their" flowers every day.’ I'm not just designing landscapes—I’m helping families create spaces where memories happen.”

She especially loves yard walk-throughs. “I come to your place, we stroll every inch, and you fire away with questions like, ‘Will this tree get too big?’ ‘Why does nothing grow here?’ or ‘Can I really put a veggie garden there?’ I love seeing faces light up when that weird slope turns from problem to opportunity. We’ll sketch on the back of an envelope and suddenly your whole vision clicks.”

Local faves: in East Aurora and Green Lake in Orchard Park for weekend kayaking with the kids.

Some weddings are filled with flowers, some with fanfare, but Rhiannon and Dan’s was filled with heart. Tucked away in Allegany State Park, their wedding day was quiet, meaningful, and handcrafted from start to finish. Every detail from a $20 veil turned heirloom to a taco dinner cooked by the groom told a story of connection, intention, and love.

The veil? Embroidered with symbols for each loved one in their life. The flowers? Crocheted by a family member. The ceremony? Officiated by Dan’s mom. Even their mismatched thrifted décor had soul. For photographer Brandon McClinsey, capturing the day meant leaning into what mattered most: people, presence, and love stitched into every corner.

When a wedding reflects not trends but truth, it lingers in the memory a little longer.

🐾 Love Without Limits

Bruno's Blessings is a nonprofit created with one goal: to raise money for families who need help paying for senior-care veterinary bills. We all know how expensive it can get as dogs grow older—especially when extra testing, scans, or treatments are needed. Bruno’s Blessings helps reduce that burden so families don’t have to choose between cost and care.

💛 Why It Started

Founder Agathi Georgiou-Graham was inspired by the journey she went on with her dog, Bruno.

“I spent thousands of dollars on tests, scans, and treatments—and while I’d do it again in a heartbeat, I couldn’t stop thinking: how do other people afford this?”

That question stayed with her. Not every family has the means to explore every option, and no one should have to make heartbreaking decisions simply because of cost.

🐶 What Makes It Different

Bruno’s Blessings is dedicated exclusively to helping senior dogs.

“I have a soft spot for older pups and for the people who just want a little more time with them.”

This nonprofit is all about giving families the chance to extend those final chapters. Every senior dog deserves comfort, care, and love for as long as possible.

🌟 The Best Part

“My favorite part of what I do is seeing the incredible success stories that come from the Bruno’s Blessings grants. Knowing these funds are helping save lives means everything to me. Helping animals is a deep passion of mine, and I’m truly grateful to have this platform to spread awareness and make a difference—one senior dog at a time.”

🎉 Giving Back in Action

Agathi donates her venue each year to Rochester Hope for Pets and Bruno’s Blessings, hosting an annual fundraiser to raise awareness and support for both causes.

💬 Motto to Live By

Bruno was a blessing to our family. Let his legacy be a blessing to yours.

✨ Love Where You Live

Meet Wiktorski Orthodontics, where cutting-edge technology meets heart-led care. At Wiktorski Orthodontics, it’s all about a personalized, all-digital Invisalign experience for children and adults, with a powerful mission at its core.

Behind the smiles is Dr. Cody Wiktorski, who built this practice with purpose: to create exceptional outcomes while championing mental health awareness.

“In 2016, I lost my little brother Casey to su***de. I knew I wanted to advocate for mental health awareness and su***de prevention, but I didn’t want it to be a job. It felt too personal. I realized I could use my platform as an orthodontist to make a real difference—doing what I’m good at for a career, while doing what I’m passionate about for a living.”

“Nine years later, I opened Wiktorski Orthodontics with mental health as the foundation of our community efforts.”

From the moment you walk into the practice, complete with a full-service café and thoughtfully designed space, you’ll see how Wiktorski Orthodontics is years ahead of traditional orthodontics. Fewer in-office visits, shorter treatment times, and high-quality, personalized care set them apart.

✨ Fave Offering
“Teeth whitening! It’s something everyone loves, and we’ve made it easy and accessible – during or even with your Invisalign aligners. Clients love being able to whiten and straighten at the same time.”

💡 Words to Live (and Work) By
“Do what you're good at for a career, and do what you're passionate about for a living.”

💖 Local Love
“We really love and Evening Star Coffee Roasters! And honestly, our own office is our favorite hangout! We’ve got a cozy café and lounge right inside, and we’ll stop in even on our days off!”

This isn’t just orthodontics, it’s a next-level experience built on care, innovation, and community.

✨ Love Where You Shop

Meet Mescolata, where it’s all about fun, functional fashion in sizes S–3X, standout accessories, and the kind of giftables that make you say, “OMG, this is so her!” Whether you’re dressing for work or play, Mescolata’s got you covered.

Behind the racks is Gina Chupak, the heart and soul of this cozy Fairport boutique.

“I’ve always loved getting dressed, finding something fun and different that made me feel great, no matter my size. I’ve been so many different sizes in my adult life, and I wanted to bring that same joy to others, with my own spin on it.”

“This place is me in store form. Photos of my family and pets are on the walls, and the vibe is calm, cozy, and welcoming. I want you to come in, take a deep breath, and enjoy wandering through fun finds. It’s always been my happy place, and now I get to share that feeling with you.”

One of Gina’s favorite things? Seeing someone find the perfect gift or outfit, something that boosts their confidence or makes them smile. And if they laugh at the tea towels or funny coasters? Even better.

👗 Fave Offerings

“Dresses! I'm your go-to dress girl, especially now that the weather’s warming up. I also love offering personalized styling help. Soon, I’ll be adding color consultations to help people discover their best shades!”

💡 Words to Live (and Work) By

“My dad always said, ‘Chance favors the prepared mind,’ and that’s stayed with me. I try to stay a few steps ahead; it’s made all the difference.”

🎉 Local Love

“Oh gosh, so many favorites, Fairport rocks! For a go-to bite or coffee, Junction361 is always delicious, and the staff is amazing. And if you haven’t been to Porterhouse in Fairport yet… it’s phenomenal.”

Exciting news, is opening soon! Gina’s second shop will offer apparel and gifts for men, right down the street.

Stop in, smile, and stay a while - Mescolata is more than a boutique; it’s a feel-good fashion experience.
