For what it is worth, I went to the Warehouse Sale and discovered a couple of things:
*a significant portion of the Fall/Winter 2009 line was never printed.
*a number of employees took final pay via product.
*Rusty Pickle has been down to minimal staff for almost a year.

I was also told that he is still going to create kits and teach classes. Although without a line to promote and to promote him, it could be a tough row to hoe.

Such a shame. But from the insider scuttlebutt it wasn’t a poor economy that led to their demise……poor to no customer service; inability to service LSS’s orders in a timely fashion (or at all). Having known several retailers who ordered from them…they were the worst in the industry. A real shame: great product, lousy business sense and management.
