Adios, Anichini

So yesterday I was driving home and stopped for cupcakes at Sprinkles. That’s when I saw it: A big “For Lease” sign on the former spot for Anichini fabrics. Leaving my space in line at Sprinkles, a desperate act, I ran down the street to see what happened. The place was all packed up, with a few boxes, two chairs, and several chandeliers awaiting something. The sign said the store’s last day was June 22 and for more information to contact the Los Angeles store. I will try to do that–first the Linen Gallery, and then this? Where oh where are we going to buy our $1,000 sheets and load our beds with so many fringed pillows our spouses will just sleep on the couch?
