This just in from the King Street Marketing Group: Lesesne will be closing at the end of May.

Here's what the press release had to say:

The home design, paper, and accessories shop at 539 King Street will close at the end of May. Owner Barbara Lesesne has decided to retire, anxious to spend time with family and grandchildren. "We thank the many loyal customers who made our King Street experience so enjoyable." Barbara is currently negotiating with another retailer concerning the custom Van Dalen Design furniture featured in her store, and will discount remaining letterpress cards, papers, French linens, books, and candles until closing.
