greenward

last night, we attended the grand opening of "greenward," a new store in cambridge owned by our friends and soon-to-be tennis rivals, scott and simone. as its name suggests, greenward is boutique specializing in eco-friendly modern goods.

sadly, the picture above and the picture below are the only ones we managed to snap before dabney and i got shop-happy once we stepped inside. did we get a picture of its bright cheerful interior? no. the handcrafted store displays made from sustainable woods? no. the shelves stocked full of recycled, handmade, organic, and thoughtfully-designed merchandise? no. how about a pic of the lovely owners who have managed to blend passion and purpose with entrepreneurial zeal? of course, not.



what we did manage to walk away with was an armload of greenward purchases: a plethora of mrs. meyer's cleaning products, a chic reusable grocery bag with pockets big enough for bottles, and tiny matchstick gardens (just place each matchstick in soil and PRESTO! instant herbs or flowers).

there were so many cute things that tempted us that we've sworn to do most if not all our holiday shopping there. so no surprises, FOAs and FODs, it'll be a christmas of reusuable bags, and compact fluorescents.

greenward is open tuesday through saturday 11-6pm and sundays 12-5pm.
