Wellesley Marketplace — everybody shopped til they dropped

November 21, 2018 by Deborah Brown

The Wellesley Hills Junior Women’s Club (WHJWC) hosted the 42nd Annual Wellesley Marketplace at Wellesley High School location, Proceeds from the show are given back to the community in the form of need-based scholarships and grants. Here are a pics of a few Wellesley residents who worked the tables as vendors or community groups:

Elena South Boiardi, Wellesley
Elena South Boiardi of Wellesley creates handpainted ceramics. When asked if she did custom orders she said, “Girl, I can tile your whole kitchen.”

 

Wellesley high school cheerleaders
Wellesley HS cheerleaders were on hand, selling home-made goodies. Each year the WHJWC makes room for non-profit and community groups, giving them free space at Marketplace.

 

Wellesley, Clever Hand

That pays for a lot of community support in the form of grants and scholarships the WHJWC gives out every year.
Hardy School kids, Wellesley
Hardy School kids got right into the spirit of things. It’s all about working side-by-side.

 

Sustainable Wellesley, Wellesley Marketplace
Sustainable Wellesley was there to complimentary gift wrap shoppers’ treasures. They did up presents in beautiful Japanese Furoshiki wraps.

Other Wellesley vendors this year:

Isabel Scharmer for Divadend Footwear, possibly the most comfortable stylish shoes ever; Pam’s Pashminas; Jen Visco from Bailey’s Point, which does custom, hand-stitched needlepoint accessories; Wellesley Holiday Boutique; Bates School 2nd grade Brownie troop; Wellesley Girl Scouts; Niki’s Small Batch Body Butters; Lauren Rubinstein and her customized items for kids and adults; abstract artist Carolyn Mackin; artist Julia Blake; and Laughing Lotus clothing, jewelry, and accessories.
