The Bling Thing on East Michigan Avenue in Saline to close this month
By Lizzy Alfs
The owner of The Bling Thing boutique in Saline plans to close the store on Jan. 27 when its lease expires, the Saline Patch reports.
The boutique - which sells handbags, jewelry, clothing and other gifts - opened in October 2009 at 131 E. Michigan Ave. in the Merchant Square Building.
Owner Anne Brandon announced in a Facebook post on Tuesday that she plans to close the brick-and-mortar store and return to online-only sales, which is how she first launched her boutique.
Brandon said she'll continue to honor valid gift certificates online.

Apparently YOU care. Maybe you should be the editor and try your hand at this? No, you'd just rather complain and waste bandwidth. Carry on smartly...
