It was a Wonderful Wellesley weekend

May 11, 2022 by Deborah Brown Leave a Comment

Between fundraising events for The Wellesley Hills Junior Women’s Club and the Wellesley House & Garden Club, and the Wonderful Wellesley kick-off event designed by community partners to encourage everybody to rediscover what the town has to offer, it was a busy weekend.

We ran ourselves ragged (in a fun way), hitting event after event, as eager to come out of winter hibernation as everyone else. Here are some pics:

Wellesley Hills Junior Women's Club, Kitchen Tour
Members of the the Wellesley Hills Junior Women’s Club welcomed all—whether design and architecture enthusiasts or just the curious—to the 21st annual Wellesley Kitchen and Home Tour. The tour showcased seven homes, and proceeds from the $65/pop tickets go to fund the Club’s various generous grants and scholarship programs.

Homes on the WHJWC’s Kitchen & Home tour ranged from rehabbed older jewels to, above, a brand-new version of what the builder characterized as a “California contemporary interpretation of a New England home.”

Wonderful Wellesley

Wonderful Wellesley, a multi-partner collaboration between the Wellesley Square Merchants’ Association; Linden Square Wellesley; Church Square Wellesley; the Town of Wellesley; and the Charles River Regional Chamber, held its Color Wellesley Wonderful kick-off event last weekend. From Wellesley Hills to Wellesley Square, talented sidewalk chalk artists interpreted the Wonderful Wellesley theme as live bands filled the air with music.
