...those with a touchable fabrics fetish, April Cornell is an excellent store to browse--not just for dresses or linens, but also for "touchable" glassware, furniture, and even candles. The staff is surprisingly relaxed and friendly, clad in chic April Cornell originals (direct from Canada--ooh la la!). Assistant manager Emily J. Shull explains that "it's a nice place to browse even if you're not going to buy anything. I think we just have beautiful things." Even so, she concedes that she doesn't see very many Harvard students shopping in the store (not a surprise...

The posthumous chance to enter this forbidden space and ooh and aah over--and maybe buy one of--Jackie's personal possessions figured to be irresistible to plenty of people, and Sotheby's was not disappointed in its expectations.
