Sew Enchanted Alterations

This adorable shop just opened at 13 South St., Suite No. 24 on the south side of Genesee Center, coincidentally in the space previously occupied by Dina鈥檚 Alterations. The business is owned by two sisters, Abby Brennan (30) and Grace Bonilla (28). They hosted their busy grand opening in early June, realizing their lifelong dream of owning a business together.

As background, their mother taught the sisters how to sew growing up. As they got older, Abby explored the fashion end of things sketching, designing and creating. Then they learned how to work from patterns, make pockets, and other tricks of the trade. In 2019, Grace started making alterations in her attic space.

As time went on, they realized the need for alterations in Auburn and reached out to Pete Marshall, the property manager for the Genesee Center. He quickly showed them options, and Dina鈥檚 old space was the perfect fit 鈥� pun intended! He gratefully worked with them while they refreshed the space for opening.

Abby shared, 鈥淲e are excited and so happy to be downtown meeting new people every day. We opened on June 2, and plan to be here for another 50 years working together like we had always talked about growing up.鈥� They can be reached at (315) 370-5029, and hours are noon to 7 p.m. Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays and noon to 5 p.m. Wednesdays.

Love of Hauls Boutique

Shop owner Mary Bodner works in HR by day, yet her passion is clothing. She opened in late May in the previous Meyer鈥檚 Bookbinding space owned by Jim Meyers and located at 35 Market St. Big thanks to Jim, as he had various other potential tenants yet held out hope for retail. As Mary shared, 鈥淛im found me!鈥� Come shop Mary鈥檚 handpicked collection of clothing, footwear and accessories, sourced from women-owned brands based in the U.S. They also carry men鈥檚 clothing, a line they will expand upon.

Mary began her business at Fingerlakes Mall, yet the space was too small. Now, her facility manager is onsite, knows the building inside and out, and responds quickly to assist. Also, the poured concrete floors, exposed brick wall, natural lighting and access to parking right out front made the downtown move a no-brainer. Neighboring West & Co. Diamonds hosted a permanent jewelry pop-up at Mary鈥檚 opening event. She also plans to partner with Adonia Salon & Spa, which completed a gorgeous expansion last March on Osborne Street.

The boutique carries a diverse range of sizes, yet only a few sizes of each item, so your ensemble is unique. It also specializes in U.S.-made women-owned brands like 2FLYCo. Per fashion trends, midwestern is flying off Mary’s shelves. Go check it out for yourselves. Current hours are 4:30 to 7 p.m. Wednesdays through Fridays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sundays. For more information, visit .

A quick reminder that Mary鈥檚 next-door neighbor is L.B. Lightning Cyclery. This custom bicycle shop offers sales, rentals, gear, accessories, parts, repairs and builds for mountain, road and more.

Fall fashion show

We are very excited to co-produce with Auburn Public Theater a new fashion show happening from 6 to 9 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 1, in the Owasco Room event space in the theater鈥檚 lower level. As the spring fashion show sold out and outgrew the Cayuga Museum Carriage House Theater space, we needed a larger venue. Now we will offer vending before and after the show, which will feature a center stage with guest seating in the round. There will be approximately 250 tickets at $30 available online at the box office. There is no fee for designers or vendors to participate.

With the timing of Halloween, we鈥檙e adding a fun theme for inspiration. Show off your alter ego! Fantasy and unique creations are encouraged. We can look forward to new collaborations with downtown merchants.
