Strolling through the Phinney Ridge and Greenwood garage sales today, we were struck by the sense of community and people-helping-people for the neighborhood. From the flea market at the Neighborhood Center, to the multitude of homes teaming to sell their excess “stuff” – often for a charity – it was a great day for Phinney Ridge and Greenwood. After an awesome brunch at Pete’s Eggsnest, here’s a few photos from the day.

For most original garage sale – this family offered a free, interactive preview of their sock puppet parties for kids. It was a fun idea, with tons of enthusiasm – might be perfect for our next birthday party. Socko visits a variety of schools, preschools, and kindergartens around Seattle.

Thanks for stopping by Socko’s Make-Your-Own Puppet Workshop on Greenwood’s Garage Sale Day! We were not originally thinking about doing this for kids’ birthday parties, but now that you mention it, it’s a great idea! We’d also like to visit classrooms – preschools and kindergartens. That would be free. To see some fun videos of Socko and Friends, go to http://www.socko.com! Ellen Holbrook
