Happening today: Toy Swap, Seal Sitters jewelry, and more

(Added: Toy Swap photo from about 10 am)
coolmomgrab.jpgSAVE MONEY, SAVE THE EARTH: That’s the slogan for CoolMom‘s second annual Toy Swap ‘n’ Sale, 9 am-1 pm. CoolMom’s Terri Glaberson tells us some deal-hunting earlybirds were even waiting when the doors opened last year. This time it’s at Fauntleroy Church (9140 California SW; here’s a map). 9 am-1 pm, proceeds benefit WestSide Baby as well as CoolMom. On to another of today’s many sales:

ALL THAT GLITTERS … HELPS SEAL SITTERS: Neptune the seal pup is just one of many helped by Seal Sitters in their few short but acclaimed years of existence. Today is their first-ever fundraiser – and in addition to more than 500 pieces of estate jewelry on sale, there are a few additions to the plan – Seal Sitters founder Brenda Peterson — an acclaimed author — will sign books purchased between 11 and 2; a framed photo by Robin Lindsey and a specialty Italian wine basket will be offered for silent auction; and they’ll be raffling items including plush toys and what’s described as “an amazing artisan seal bread.” Cash, credit and debit, 10 am-2 pm at Merrill Gardens-Admiral Heights (WSB sponsor), 2326 California SW, across from the Admiral Theater. Now on to an outdoor highlight:

GET OUT AND GET GREEN: Thanks to Cindi Barker for forwarding a photo from last Saturday’s Orchard Street Ravine work party during Green Seattle Day. This morning, like most Saturday mornings, you have multiple chances to get out and dig in during volunteer work parties – Delridge Natural Area, West Duwamish Greenbelt and Roxhill Park, this time around, details in the West Seattle Weekend Lineup along with MULTIPLE other events today/tonight!

    I just got back from the Cool Mom’s toy sale. Things are going quick but more stuff seems to be coming in, too.
    I took in some Melissa & Doug puzzles and a Radio Flyer push scooter – which got bought and went back out the door right away.
    By the time I was done poking around I spotted (and bought) a bike and a Curious George talking doll that weren’t there when I came in!
    So if you have clean baby stuff, kids clothes, dolls, stuffed animals, clean kids shoes, puzzles, toys, Halloween costumes, backpacks – that you want to donate – take ’em all down before the sale ends at 1PM. You get a $5 credit to apply to your purchase.
    And if you go keep an eye out on the tables being restocked. :-)

Sorry, comment time is over.
