Touch of Europe, a bedroom linens, comforters and accessories store, will relocate from 291 to 279 Post Road East within Playhouse Square in about 10 days, according to owner Mikle Muller. Muller, who is known best by her first name—pronounced “Mik-lay”—has operated the business in Westport for 30 years, the last 15 at its current location and, prior to that, 15 years at 135 Main St. She said she will carry the same inventory but in a smaller shop with correspondingly lower rent. Muller said she has no intention of retiring. “I worked all day, six days a week (for the past year the store has closed Sunday and Monday) for 30 years,” she said. “What would I do?  My husband passed away two years ago. This is my life.”  (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
