WRAPPED TIGHT: The Seattle Weavers' Guild annual show and sale is today and tomorrow. It was also yesterday, so if that's when you wanted to go, we hope you knew that. The sale will showcase one-of-a-kind hand-crafted items, along with daily demonstrations of weaving and spinning. Proceeds from the sale are used to fund the guild's volunteer outreach program, so we won't feel too bad when we spend way too much--again--on home-loomed tapestries for the study.
10:00 a.m.-8:00 p.m. (10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. Saturday) // St Mark's Cathedral, Lower Level, Bloedel Hall, 1245 10th Ave. E. // Tickets: FREE
OUT ON THE FARM: It's one week from Halloween, which means it's high time we hit a pumpkin patch. We're thinking Fall City Farms, a sweet little stretch out on I-90. Not only are we going to get our gourd on, but local singer/songwriter Ali Marcus will be there throughout the day, along with old-time band The Old Bay Warblers, doing a mixture of originals and folk favorites. Don't forget your galoshes.
Saturday 12-3 p.m. // Fall City Farms // Tickets: FREE
PAGING READERS: If you miss the Northwest Book Festival like we do, then make this weekend all about Columbia City. The 2009 Seattle Bookfest sets up shop at the Columbia City Event Center, showcasing over 100 authors and local publishers, while hosting workshops, scrabble round robins, and even a grammar bee. Go verb a noun.
Saturday and Sunday 10:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. // Columbia City Event Center // Tickets: FREE
