Odds and Ends
- The Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Auxiliary Rummage Sales have started up again! The sales offer a wide variety of well-organized second hand items for sale. All proceeds go to LPCH. Held the third Friday of each month from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm and the following Saturday from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm. Location: 1228 Douglas Ave, Redwood City. Information: 650-497-8332.
- Self-serving plug: I found a great source for photo books on line. The site offers mini-books (about 2" by 4" with space for 20 of your photos) for only $2.50 each, plus postage. They offer other sizes, too, but the minis are my favorite. They often have sales and discounts. It you want to save 50% on your first order, or just want to explore the site, email me and I will send in your information for them to send you an introductory email. FYI, if you place an order, I will get a "referral credit". After you place an order and refer one of your friends, you will also get a referral credit.
