Designer Denim Sale

Calling all you fashionistas! I'll be heading over to the annual Warehouse Sale at the Seattle Exhibition Center (near McCaw Hall) October 31st. My sister and I went last year and found super-fabulous jeans! Check it out.

FYI--The dressing rooms are divided men/women, but they are just wide open spaces (as the song goes) behind a curtain.

Shout Out: Emerald City Shoe Repair

I'm a terrible procrastinator when it comes to getting my shoes repaired.  I waited about a year too long to get my favorite pair of black boots fixed. The heels were worn down, there was no tread left and I was letting in water at the toes on rainy days.   I knew it wouldn't be a cheap fix and kept looking for a pair of replacement boots. No luck.   I've been pleased with the multiple pairs of heels I've had replaced at Emerald City Shoe Repair, so I trusted them with my boots.  

Dropped my boots off on Thursday morning and picked them up the following Tuesday.  $47 later and it's like having new boots again.  I'd highly recommend Emerald City Shoe Repair!

Seattle's Best Book Sale!

It's that time of year again!  The bi-annual Friends of the Seattle Public Library book sale begins tonight, with a preview sale for their members.  The sale is open to the public Saturday-Sunday.  A yearly membership costs $15 and I decided it was worth it when I went to the Spring sale in April (less people, more books=happy shopper).  Here's a little blurb from their website:

2008 Fall Book Sale dates: September 26-28.

The Friends Book Sales are held each April and September. The next Book Sale is scheduled for September 26-28, 2008.  Book Sale hours are Saturday, September 27, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, September 28, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.  The member preview sale is Friday, September 26, 6:30-9:30 p.m., with memberships sold at the door.  Please bring your own boxes or bags.

The Book Sale is held in Building #30 at Warren G. Magnuson Park, Seattle.
