West Seattle Sunday: Happy Mother’s Day!

(Photo shared by Lisa Stencel)
Not too much on the WSB West Seattle Events calendar today, since it’s a time for so many families to just be together. A few highlights if you’re looking for something to do:

WEST SEATTLE FARMERS’ MARKET: Need last-minute flowers for Mom (or someone else)? You’ll find them at the market in abundance. Plus live music with the Sammy Sandy Buckner Duo, and a Kids’ Tent activity – picture frames for Mother’s Day. From the growers, market managers note that “Canales is back with tender asparagus!” and “Foraged and Found has weeds for even the most discerning wild woman … Stinging Nettle Pesto, anyone?!” 10 am-2 pm, 44th/Alaska in The Junction. **11:35 am addendum: Thanks to Abanna for e-mailing to say the musician is Sandy Buckner, not Sammy as the market had announced, and that Sandy is “flying solo” in the market gig today – Abanna adds, “Among other claims to fame, Sandy is the music teacher at the Intergenerational Learning Center located at Providence Mount St. Vincent.”**

THE PLAY’S THE THING: Also in The Junction, “Shipwrecked! An Entertainment …” continues at ArtsWest (WSB sponsor), with a 3 pm performance today.

MOTHER’S DAY PIE SOCIAL: RSVP’s were requested by Friday so we’re not sure if there’s still room. But if you can bake a pie by 1 pm you’re probably welcome at the first-ever Mother’s Day Pie Social at Village Green Perennial Nursery (besides the pie, there’s a $5 requested donation for the White Center Food Bank). Find full details here.

NEW MEANING TO THE TERM ‘FROSTED GLASS’: Watching glass-blowing at Avalon Glassworks is a Mother’s Day tradition, and today they’re making glass cupcakes to benefit WestSide Baby. (Here’s a photo on the WS Baby FB page.) The studio is on Avalon Way just south of the West Seattle Bridge, and open 10 am-5 pm today.

SURPRISE MOM WITH A HOME-IMPROVEMENT PROJECT: If you need tools to make it happen, the West Seattle Tool Library is open today in its new Youngstown Cultural Arts Center space (east side of main building at 4408 Delridge Way), 1-5 pm.

SECOND ANNUAL ‘MY MOM STILL ROCKS’ TRIBUTE: At Feedback Lounge (WSB sponsor), starting at 6 pm. P.S. The promotional graphics made by The Feedback’s Jeff Gilbert are featured right now on the Facebook page and website for KISS – here’s the latter:
