Hello Selkie friends!
*
Thank you for all your support over the past years and for your patience & understanding this last month. For those who have not heard, I moved my closing date to the end of July instead of September.
*
I was offered and decided to take a job as a counselor/teacher for at-risk youth at a residential facility. These teenagers need time to rehabilitate after leaving juvenile detention and I am humbled to be a part of their healing process. This is an amazing opportunity for me to use my new degree and (hopefully) make an impact.
*
This Saturday will be my final day!!! I will be open 11am - 4pm. There is still an amazing selection of merchandise. Items on tables are 70% or 50% off and there are also $1 & $2 item tables!!!
*
I will have bookcases, tables, and retail displays for sale. EVERYTHING MUST GO! If you purchase bookcases or large displays, they have to leave with you! Make plans to transport them before 4pm!
*
Gift cards will not be accepted and sales will be credit card only!! No cash!

Dear Selkie Family,

The weight of making this decision has been heavy on my shoulders, mind, and heart. After much consideration, I have decided to close the physical doors of The Selkie this September 2023. However, a curated selection will be moving online.
*
I cannot begin to tell you how much your support, loyalty, and friendship has meant to me and the many NC businesses represented in The Selkie. ❤️🙏🏻
*
Please note the following:
*
- The gift shop will be fully stocked through August, so please come on by!
- Christmas wrapping is available if you would like to go ahead and shop for the holidays this summer.
- Make sure to use gift cards ASAP. After September, they will no longer be valid.
- The Selkie will no longer be issuing gift cards to ensure shoppers have the best customer experience.
- Beginning November 1st, online shopping will be available with free gift wrapping, USPS priority shipping, and local pick up from my studio space.
