Green Mosaic just opened on Tuesday right next to Oh! La-La in the Renaissance building at 224 E. Ponce de Leon Avenue (map). As you can see in the window photo above (apart from my reflection – whoops), the shop carries items that are organic, recycled, fair trade and eco-friendly.

Hmmm. Isn’t there something like that in the building next to Greene’s? These new businesses sure do cluster.
Sounds like a clone of the shop at 124 E Trinity that’s not doing so well.
The more, the merrier, I say. It’s great to have choices for organic, recycled fair trade merchandise, and it’s lovely to have shop windows with goods for sale that entice as you walk by. Check out the cute dresses pictured in the post on the Visit Decatur blog!
What is that shop on trinity?? I never knew about it until I walked by it??
It’s has a combination of a quality furniture, including some baby/child items, and organic home, beauty, and sundry products. I don’t quite get the unifying theme myself. But some of the home and beauty products are great and I did a lot of Christmas shopping there. The location doesn’t seem ideal for this kind of retail–other than folks walking to between Chick Fil A and Greene’s, that block doesn’t get a lot of foot traffic and the professional building that houses the store has very weird, in the back parking. Staff seem friendly and helpful.
The explanation for the somewhat disconnected diversity of products in the shop on Trinity is explained by the fact that there are two owners with different interests.
You’re right about the foot traffic. What that shop really needs in a couple of retail neighbors so they’ not all alone in the building. Greene’s and the running place across the street are not going to generate traffic for them.
I’ll check it out and report back. Bravo, a new business. I have a newish great-niece and nephew who might go for those puppets.
I suspect the shop on Trinity everyone is speaking of is Agilest Collections. I also suspect most of their business is on line, as they didn’t even have the store identified until recently.
