Artsy Boutique Wild Indigo Closing by End of Month

, a boutique on Dartmouth Street that sells crafts by more than 50 local artists, is closing by the end of the month. They're holding a 50 percent off sale that starts on Saturday.

"It is with a heavy heart that I must tell you that I will be closing Wild Indigo Boutique on Warren and Dartmouth at the end of my lease in June 2012," owner Christina Murphy wrote in a letter to clients.

"A significant increase in the rent, and changes in the terms of my lease, which would allow for direct competition on the same block, preclude me from continuing at this location."

Murphy says she's exploring other options and hopes this is a hiatus, not a goodbye.
