The Swellesley Report

Since 2005: More than you really want to know about Wellesley, Mass.

Wandering around Wellesley over the weekend

by

The only thing hotter than the weekend weather in Wonderful Wellesley were the bargains at the annual Linden Square sidewalk sale. Shoppers scoured the outside racks and tables for fashions, toys, baby gear, and more. Meanwhile, over in the Courtyard and in Wellesley Square, kids got busy at the crafting tables where they painted, glued, and decorated doodads onto a thingamabobs. The results: fun for all.

The Linden Square Courtyard was the site of free crafting for kids.

 

Wonderful Wellesley, Wellesley Square
Wellesley Square had a crafting outpost, also. The shaded area meant no melting crayons on a hot day that saw temperatures soar into the high 80s.

Pattee, Wellesley Square
Pattee waves hello from the floor of the 87 Central Street space she shares with Lyn Evans. The new business partnership means greater fashion variety at the Wellesley Square space. Pattee brings a funky vibe to the store with her silversmith talents and textiles upcycling skills. The Lyn Evan part of the business focuses on “happy clothes”  for everyday.

Babson College, Wonderful Wellesley
It’s not a stretch to say that Babson College students love a good Wonderful Wellesley bargain, like the free session provided here by StretchLab Wellesley. The students came out in droves for the Babson Resource Fair over the weekend, where participating Wellesley stores, restaurants, and fitness studios were on hand, along with a fun prize wheel and guac and chips provided by Roche Bros.
