"We just can't seem to struggle through. We've tried everything we can. The only thing it's proving to us is that we've thrown every damn dime personally we have into it and it still isn't working," she said, in good humor.
And they aren't exactly sure when they'll close the doors for good, but she expects it will be somewhere between the next 30 to 60 days. "Probably by the end of March for sure," she said, and added that the landlord has already shown the building to a prospective new lessee.
Hackett isn't positive what they'll do with any remaining inventory, but said she does know they won't go through a liquidator.
"We just want our products to go to the people who want them," she said.

This is a huge loss for Boise artists & students. The knowledge and service you find at Boise Blue is so valuable - never to be found at those big corporate stores. Another large hole in downtown Boise. Hugs to Terrie, Janet and the gang.
