Tarzian West for Houseware

The attraction of Tarzian West (besides the curb appeal of brightly colored bowls and pot holders in the window) is the collection of artistic, handy pieces that make perfect gifts. Choose from more than 20,000 items, and leaving the small store empty-handed is rare. Retro is the name of their game, with cute polka-dot-patterned dish towels available and '50s clocks displayed on the walls. Throughout October, bring in any old teakettle to recycle and get a new Chantal one at 20 percent off, with proceeds going to a local charity.
