Our Story


The doors of Penny Lane opened in June 2007 following a whirlwind of faith, luck and perfect timing. Honestly, our story is one of that begins with, "Well, we were in the right place, at the right time . . ." But owning this enchanting little shop was not a completely random endeavor. It really sprouted from a dream I had for years following the birth of my son. Though like most dreams, mine had been placed upon a shelf in way of more practical careers.

Only months away from traveling down the road of more college and a new major, I took a chance. I was given the opportunity to own my own business, and through the support of my family (husband, children, parents, brother),  Penny Lane was born.

My mom, Mary is the co-owner of Penny Lane, and I must say that we make quite a savvy duo. We handpick every product we bring into the shop, and educate ourselves about the various companies we feature. Together we have created a space where customers can shop with confidence. Penny Lane offers beautiful, high quality products that will enrich the lives of children, parents and grandparents.

Penny Lane not only features wonderful products, but a wonderful shopping experience. My Mom and I enjoy connecting with our customers and their children and look forward to reaching out to many more through the birth of our website. We also invite you to visit us in our cute little shop on Commercial Street anytime you're in Nevada City.
