We came across this sign last night in the old Kaleidoscope space along West Ponce de Leon Ave.

Another well-known Decatur merchant is closing it’s doors.

Assistant Store Manger Kim McNeil at Kaleidoscope Boutique confirms reports that the 9 year-old clothing store along West Ponce will soon be closing its doors forever.

Kim notes that the closing is “indeed recession-related”.  As for store owner Camille Wright, Kim says plans include doing “some personal shopping for her close friends and valued customers, will happily get to focus more on new baby Connor, and anticipates some other fashion related ventures in the future.”

Our best to Camille and her staff in all their future endeavors.  This one is gonna be especially tough for many to swallow.

Below the break, read a message recently posted on the store’s Facebook page with details about the clothing sale and where you can catch up with the Kaleidoscope ladies prior to closing.
