My background is in education. I have always dreamed of opening a women’s boutique, and last year I turned my dream into a reality with the help of friends and family. Parker Post is a women’s boutique featuring thoughtfully selected clothing, accessories and gifts. We create a welcoming shopping experience where women feel confident, valued and inspired.
