I’m a little teary-eyed writing this but it’s got to get done so here it goes…

It’s with some regret I have decided to close Clack Clack Empire permanently on March 28th. This date also happens to be CCE’s one year birthday, so I think it’s kind of fitting in a strange sort of way!

I suppose there’s various reasons I’ve decided to close, namely the cruel recession we find ourselves in, and perhaps the fact that I can’t seem to find another job in my dead and dying geology industry to help with the expensive growing pains of a baby business.

But lil’ Clack Clack’s closing is certainly not because I haven’t received any support from you folks!

All of you, friends, family and new supporters gained along the way have been so very gracious. You’ve helped me build the business, finance it, decorate it, wrote about it, told me what to buy and what to stay the hell away from, got art work on my walls, spent your money at my shop, came out for events, brought cupcakes to parties, helped me clean after parties, spread the word about the shop, offered some great advice or just came by with a coffee and chatted. All of it I appreciate so very much. Though it’s sad to have to close a good business when it’s still so young, it’s thanks to your support I was even able to achieve this goal of mine at all and for that I’m forever grateful.

I’ve learned a lot about business but a fair bit more about myself, and to me, that’s a success.

Thanks you.

Love,
Erin
