>>RELATED: New shop to open in Oregon District
The jump to a second shop came as a surpirse to the owners of Heart most of all. Their current shop is flourishing selling Dayton-centric wares, kitsch and clothes, so a second space to embrace a more grounded series of products made sense. When the space next to CK Take Away on Wayne came open, they jumped at the chance to expand.

The feel of Luna will be different than that of Heart -- a clean, white space will be the backdrop to gifts and housewares ranging from natural bath products, houseplants, incense, mystic novelties and more.
Carly Barrett, co-owner of Luna, said it's the hope of the team of ladies that their two storefronts will help to build the Oregon District up as a daytime shopping and lunch destination.
With a soft opening date of Sept. 16 and hours mirroring those of Heart Mercantile, Luna will certainly be a shop to anticipate.
