Juniper

When Juniper opened its doors seven years ago, owner Jennifer Moriarty was a photographer looking for space to open a studio, possibly sell a few related articles. The people leasing the property had retail in mind, so to accommodate that idea, Jennifer opened a small shop with some lovely gifts, a small but unique space, but sometimes, as we know, the best laid plans become something else entirely! Moriarty was so successful in her tiny gift shop, that it spread, and kept growing, and today it offers a tantalizing array of gifts, for all ages, all genders, and all tastes. Moriarty’s background with Ralph Lauren as general manager, and an art background in college helped in her success in creating this life style boutique.

 

Napkins $12-$68

At Juniper one can find unique toys and other children’s items; home décor items, fine clothing and so much more. For holiday giving, there are table linens, napkins which are embroidered; a bountiful selection of fine beeswax candles from the Catskills in a variety of colors and shapes, from $18 to $30.

 

Jewelry $95-$375 

Feather jewelry by Brackish, as well as other delightful earrings, necklaces and bracelets from La Maison Atelier, Laura Foote Designs, Dean Davidson, Marcia Moran, Chang, and Cahn Luu are also available.

Cornwall Historical Society celebrates Connecticut’s Black patriots

Cornwall Historical Society celebrates Connecticut’s Black patriots

On Saturday, Oct. 24, at the Cornwall Historical Society, author and genealogist John Mills will breathe new life into the stories of some of Connecticut’s more underappreciated patriots. The reason these heroes were forgotten? They were Black.

At a time when white colonists were fighting for their own liberty and political independence, many Black men who fought alongside them remained enslaved. Some risked their lives only to return to bondage. Though enslaved people were promised freedom from both sides of the Revolutionary War in exchange for their service, Great Britain, too, was still deeply dependent on slavery. For Black people in America, the war presented both extraordinary risks and uncertain paths to the freedom that white colonists were demanding for themselves.

You only get one or two of these soul connection dogs, so I do this in his honor.
— Stephanie Saetta

Stephanie Saetta has spent much of her life caring for others. A physician at White Plains Hospital, she has another calling at home in Salisbury — one that has four legs and a wagging tail. She runs Charlie Chicken Bone Sanctuary, a nonprofit dog rescue that brings dogs from overcrowded pounds and the streets of Texas to foster homes in northwestern Connecticut, where they can begin again.

The sanctuary is named for Charlie, the dog who taught her how special a bond between a person and rescue animal can be.

The Pink House AM is serving up community

The Pink House AM is serving up community

Mare Rubin and Maggie Levine of the Pink House AM.

Madi Long

It all started with a yoga class. Mare Rubin was working on her second act after leaving the Upper West Side, where she’d raised a family and worked in corporate marketing. Newly empty nesters, she and her husband decided to move to the wilds of northwestern Connecticut, where they had spent 15 years as weekenders, to see what life in the woods had in store for them.

Rubin started teaching yoga classes at the Union in West Cornwall, a space designated by the town of Cornwall as a community hub with couches, Wi-Fi, occasional events and a growing yoga class schedule. She was adjusting well but missed one important thing about city life: a casual coffee shop.
