Thinking of selling your home in the next few months or years? Find out how to invest your time, money and energy so your home sells quickly at the highest possible price. You'll learn what potential buyers are looking for in a new home, which improvements and updates give you the most bang for the buck, how to give your home "curb appeal" and how to stage each room of your house. To be held at the Palo Alto Adult School, 50 Embarcadero Rd., Palo Alto ($25). Call the Adult School to register: (650)329-3752.
Decorating Class:
"Transform Your Home in a Day---For Free!"
Wednesday, Oct. 17, 7:00-9:00 pm.
Would you like a more comfortable, functional and beautiful home? Learn how to redecorate your house by creatively rearranging the furniture and artwork you already own. You'll discover how to define your personal style, how to create new furniture arrangements, and how to balance a room with color. Quick, easy accessorizing techniques for bookcases, artwork and displaying collections will also be shared. To be held at the Palo Alto Adult School ($25). Call me at (650)367-7370 if you have questions about either class.

4. Open House and Art Sale.
Please come to my annual Arts and Crafts Sale and Open House on Saturday, November 17th from 12 to 5 pm.
You are welcome to tour my home and also to shop for jewelry, paintings, sculpture pieces, greeting cards and other crafts created by artisans who set up tables throughout my home (I also sell my artwork). This is a wonderful opportunity to pick up a special gift or something for you. Bring your friends! To be held at my home: 1539 Granger Way, Redwood City. I’ll send out invitations and a map at the beginning of November.
5. Save Gas and Time.
If you hate standing in line at the post office, try ordering stamps by mail. The post office has envelopes in the lobby which you can send in (free postage!) to order stamps. (You get them back in the mail in a few days). You can also use your credit card and order them over the phone: 1-800-STAMP24, or on the web: www.usps.com.
