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.
