I’ve been thinking about Nancy, Nancy, that shop on Fifth Avenue that closed on May 29th. I’ve been wondering what the owner is up to. Here’s her blog post about her final day. She’s still selling stuff on her website.

WELL… its all over but the crying. That never seems to end. The store is closed and we are packing it up into boxes to be moved into storage until it all gets unpacked again, probably at NancyNancy@theBeach. Thats not a site or anything, I just like the name. The official closing day, last Saturday the 24th was really nice, as closing your business after 10 years can be nice. There were lots of hugs and cupcakes and flowers and I’ve probably seen almost every special customer from the past 10 years. Just a few hold outs. It was really loving and satisfying. I actually showed up and experienced the entire day with the appropriate emotional responses. Quite Mature I must say. Maura and I even managed to go see London through the telescope at Fulton Landing, on the 125th anniversary of the Brooklyn Bridge, very cool and to top off the Brooklyn experience we wandered into St. Anns Warehouse and  stumbled upon the tiny toy theater museum. What could make me happier than a combo, of miniatures and theater. Truly inspiring and an amazing way to end the Brooklyn Days of our lives… The next day I was “stupid tired” I couldn’t even string a sentence together.  It was a beautiful almost warm Memorial Day weekend. Enjoyed Hot Dogs, Hamburgers and a small town parade. How much better does it get? For the moment I am grateful.  Thank you to everyone who has bought a card or a fairy, or a mini jesus, or just wandered around and laughed. So many people talked about finding refuge in the store. So what if I didn’t make any money. I think I said before, how cool is it to be a fond memory in someones life? Very Very Cool. I humblyThank You.
