I have shared with all of you the wonderment of my shop for plus size women. Now I must share the sadness of its closing. I am unable to physically do the work required and cannot keep up with the demands of the shop. I cannot afford to hire help, as it is still a fledgling business. It is breaking my heart to do this but I have not been able to catch up ever since I had complete shoulder replacement surgery. Even three months later, I am still struggling to move clothes from one rack to another, let alone move racks themselves. I cannot reach to get mannequins down to change their outfits. Hanging new items on hangers is so repetitive that its straining my incision area.
I am announcing this to my public on July 1st. I will close August 1st.

I will offer the items back to the consignors. Those who do not want to come get them can agree for them to be donated to local charities.

Even this amount of work is daunting. How will i ever do this?
