If I could post a negative number I would. I realize Kerri Shimp is no longer at this location but…read moreif you decide to use this company get 3 recent references at least. Over 6 years ago my Mom and Dad used them to help pack, sell and move the home. They had to move quickly as Dad had health issues and they needed to get in to a retirement community. Mom was the cleanest and neatest pack rat you will have ever met but she kept too many collectables, papers and stuff. My Mom filed complaints back then and told us how bad it was dealing with them but too make a long story short only reason I am posting now is that Mom just passed recently and as we were cleaning out her apt we found all the paper work from the move and subsequent letters from my Mom complaining and asking for breakdowns of sales, merchandise, etc. Seems they were charged thousands more by Kerri Shimp than quoted and were basically told to go stuff themselves. What set me off to write this review was I found out as we were cleaning out the apt from another local company they were told personally by Kerri that she was going to take every dollar she could from my parents. My warning is look elsewhere before hiring them and whatever you do DO NOT TRUST or HIRE KERRI SHIMP

Do Not use this company!!! My elderly parents used this company to move into a retirement place…read more This company was to sell the furniture & household goods that they would not use anymore. They went through their house & almost took everything!!! They didn't even ask my parents what they could take. They took furniture, a new refrigerator, clothing, dishes, computers, even their towels & bedding! Also some very precious antiques!! My parents were given back 400.00. The furniture that they did keep, were damaged in the move. The owner of this business told my parents that they would have to take it up with the mover? Are you kidding me??? It's called elderly abuse. This company is BAD NEWS!

Short Version: Very-cute little store of vintage and upcycled items. Everything is extremely clean…read moreand in good condition. Surprisingly great prices. Lots of chalk-painted furniture. Very friendly owner, and she collects/redesigns/repaints the items herself. Definitely lots of cute stuff here. Directions and Hours: This store is ONLY OPEN the first Thursday through Saturday of every month. The first day needs to fall before the Thursday of that week. (For example, if April started on Friday, the store wouldn't be open until the proceeding week. If April started on Monday, it would be open that week). The store is located BEHIND Simpson's Furniture on Main Street. It's a bit tricky to find, but you'll end up seeing a tiny sign on the property. Turn onto E 23rd street, and even when it turns into gravel, KEEP GOING. Go until the gravel "ends" then turn right. You'll quickly see Hatchlings and Hen's signage. The store itself is down the driveway. Long Version: This is a neat, home-run type of store. As far as I can tell, it seems to be a small shop in a workshop. The directions above will help you find it. The area feels like shopping a garage sale - but in a cute and fun type of way. No bathrooms or anything because of that. Hatchlings and Hens sells a variety of neat, repurposed and vintage-esque type of items. It looks like a lot of items were repainted or cleaned up in order to be sold, and the owner does a surprising job of finding fantastic sets. For example, there was a kitchen table with a matching 4 chairs available for purchase (only $175 for the set! I would have bought it if I needed a kitchen set). There were also other sets like matching bird decor or awesome wall art. There was some industrial-type of furniture and whatnot too - as well as industrial salvage that might help you out if you were looking to do some DIY for yourself. I didn't end up purchasing anything today, but I plan on coming back in the future. The owner was super friendly, and I really did fall in love with a coupe things that I can't quite think of a place for at the moment. I'm looking forward to seeing how the stock and everything changes from month-to-month.
