This afternoon, my kids and I hit the University Village Sidewalk Sale. Great stuff! At Village Maternity, I saw Mei-tei-style baby carriers, maternity wear and infant swimsuits, plus $10 bins of baby and toddler gear.

You'd think the idea for Dreamlets would have come to Matty Harper in, well, a dream. As it happens, the story behind these quirky plush creatures is a bit more complicated than that.

This weekend my nieces, ages 6 and almost 8, came to spend the night.
We had some time to kill before Gub's dad could join us for a trip to
the zoo, so I scanned the West Seattle Blog for ideas of what to do in our neighborhood, which led me to Max and Quinn's Atomic Boys Shop-O-Rama (4311 S.W. Admiral Way), a retro candy and toy shop in the Admiral District.

The beautiful weather today inspired Gub and me to make our Sunday outing extra long. Instead of just going to the neighborhood farmer's market, we jumped on a bus and headed downtown to the Pike Place Market. After lunch at the Crumpet Shop, we stopped in at Dragon's Toy Box, where they are having a sale. Lots of stuff is 25-75 percent off, including a bunch of games and art kits.

While out on our rounds yesterday, Gub and I stopped at Kid's Club in University Village. I had been there before, but it was back in the days of newborn parenting, and my focus was narrow. This store really has it all, from toys to darling clothes, and from art supplies to strollers -- not to mention a great selection of baby-proofing supplies, feeding equipment and diapering stuff.
