Two sales and a festival worth noting

There are a few events happening this weekend you might consider attending:

-The semi-annual Sisters Sale, which is always one of the best garage sales in town, will be held Saturday from 9-3. To call it a garage sale doesn’t do it justice, though. Last time I went, I walked away with two handmade dolls for my daughters, an old teacher’s bell my girls use when they play school, and some beautiful vintage linens.
The Farm Chicks , who I think everyone agrees is a reliable source on all things funky junky, has called the Sisters Sale “the cool sale you always dream of finding out of the blue, in some cute old neighborhood, filled with the greatest assortment of vintage goods at great prices.”
In this case, the cute old neighborhood is the west 600 block of 14th Avenue on Spokane’s South Hill (between South Monroe Street and Grand Boulevard, close to Roosevelt Elementary School).

-Ferris High School is having an arts and crafts fair Saturday, too, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Proceeds from the fair benefit the class of 2010’s senior all-nighter party. More than 100 vendors will be on hand. Ferris is at 3750 E. 37th.

-Also on Saturday (busy day!), Coeur d’Alene is celebrating autumn with a downtown festival. Free hay rides, pumpkin painting activities, family crafts, and the final outdoor farmer’s market of the season. 11 a.m. to midnight. Sixth and Sherman.
