Eclectic Threads, the vintage consignment, furniture and clothing store in Lyon Park, is closing in June.
The shop, at the corner of Washington Blvd and Pershing Drive, has been open since 1982, owner Sheila Selario told ARLnow.com today. It’s combined with Corner Cupboard, and Selario runs the two stores with her daughter, Tara.
The building’s being sold, Selario said, prompting the closure. Everything in the shop — a mix of knick-knacks, furs, lamps and pretty much anything else that can fit through the door — is 20 percent off for now, but the sale could go up before Eclectic Threads shuts down.
“If the public hasn’t come in yet, now’s the time,” Selario said.
The store opened as consignment 33 years ago before growing in scope. Selario said she’s going to use her time now to “catch up on things” she missed while running the business.
“I’m really going to miss it,” she said. “It’s been a wonderful experience.”
