Last week we chose to bring you news of new places to eat in Kootenai County rather than new businesses that especially offer women’s items. But perhaps the better choice would have been to make last Sunday’s new business items be the women’s stores. That might have helped solve the Mother’s Day gift quandary. One new option is Dazzle, a quality resale fashions store in Hayden Creek Plaza at 8134 Government Way. Opening in late April, Dazzle offers clothes, shoes, handbags, jewelry, fashion accessories and small home décor items. “We offer women the chance to turn cluttered closets into cash by consigning items they no longer wish to wear or possibly have never worn at all,” said Dwight Lucky, who owns the store with his wife Tara/Nils Rosdahl.
