I recently joined TTV's mailing list and noticed they were having their annual tent sale for…read moresamples and overstock items. I had low expectations, but was curious, and decided now would finally be the time to check out this store location. I have been to other TTV stores, so I already knew their reputation for selling fair traded crafts and gift items from around the globe. The sale began at 10 am, but I purposefully didn't arrive until late morning to allow the early bird crowd to thin out and hopefully provide a better shopping experience. After I arrived, I first checked out the store's wares and noticed coffee, chocolate bars, instruments, accessories, gift items, etc. The employees were very helpful and friendly. Then on to the tent sale where the single check out line had dwindled nicely, just as I had hoped. The first tent of overstock items had nothing of interest for me. On to the sample tent with samples and I almost thought I would leave empty-handed, until I spied the olive wood Christmas items at 50% off. So, I went home with a nifty, beautiful small manger scene with a music box built in. My wife was thrilled when I showed her. If you're looking for cool, one-of-a-kind items, be sure to make TTV the first stop in your search. I think you'll be glad you did. And be sure to get on their mailing list so you know when the cool stuff arrives. Oh, and you're welcome.

Each time I visited, there were new things to see and newly stocked trendy items. They have exceptional selection in kitchen, fake flowers, rugs and bedding. Their outdoor/summer collection was bursting, which makes sense for May/June. Sometimes there are ugly items you just smile at and wonder "who would buy that?" But then around the corner I'll find something that someone else would find ugly that I love! This store is clean and organized, they have a big selection of lamps/lighting, and the check out aisle is packed with little goodies, so take your time walking out!

Husband has recently gotten into building Gunplas (Japanese model robots, similar to transformers)…read moreand was looking for hobby shops that carry models and tools to customize them. After a quick search we found Kranzels. Located a few blocks from the West Shore Farmers market, they carry a large and wide scale of RC cars, models, Boats, Air Planes and an impressive amount of Gunplas. The Gunplas were a little hard to find but go to the back counter and turn around, there's a HUGE shelf of them to choose from, all grades available. We talked to one of the employees and he informed us of what all models they stocked, when they got the perfect grades in (the highest quality models) and all the paints/gloss/varnishes they stock. They have a loyalty program so for every $100 you spend, you get $5 back. Nice esp if you're a regular you can get a nice little discount. We'll be checking back in a bit to see what new stock is in and when he needs to restock his supplies.
