My darling employers, the owners of Henny Penny, have closed shop. :-( It was time. The store has struggled for a while and they felt now was the time to move onto new things. The current economy certainly has not helped. Closing was very bittersweet...Henny Penny gave me an amazing opportunity to learn about owning a small business from the most creative and fabulous women. I will miss seeing them often, daily trips to the Pearl, working on the web site, ordering inventory and merchandising, and especially seeing fresh designer clothing every season. We announced our closing and clearance sale the Saturday after Christmas and it only took two weeks for customers to wipe out our inventory, fixtures, hangers, and anything else they could get their greedy little hands on. The past two weeks I have worked very hard to make closing as quick and easy as possible for us all, so I have been exhausted and emotionally drained. I am sad to see this chapter of my life end, but I'm optimistic for the future. There are plans in motion and I'm already interviewing for new jobs. Keep your fingers crossed for me!
You can see some photos of the store here...It was such a unique shop!

Leah, I hope you find something that you enjoy as much as you enjoyed working for Henny Penny!
Wow, Leah. I can't believe HP closed! I'll definitely keep all fingers (and toes!) crossed for you... I'm sure you'll find something new and wonderful very soon!
