So it’s going into the 80s again today and that’s hardly conducive to a “Jingle Bells” mood. Nonetheless, holiday planning is under way in some quarters, especially for the pre-holiday sale season. Two notes to share, first from Sue Gibbs on behalf of West Gate Court #21, Order of the Amaranth:

Holiday Bazaar – October 12th – 10-4
Alki Masonic Hall, 4736 40th Ave SW
Tables available

To get one, contact Sue, 206-650 5491, westgateevents21@gmail.com.

And from Judy Pickens on behalf of Fauntleroy Church:

If you’re an artist/artistic crafter living in West Seattle and haven’t yet applied for the Fauntleroy Fine Art & Holiday Gift Show November 15-17, time is a’wasting. The deadline is September 30. The show, hosted by Fauntleroy Church, is always well-attended, the percentage to participate is low, and you’ll likely go home with contacts for after-show sales. Look for details and the application form at fauntleroyucc.org or call the church office at 206-932-5600.

P.S. If you’re in the buying mood, the church is having its Second-Time Sale this weekend – details here.
