From the Heather Farms website:
Ever wonder what to do with all those magazines and greeting cards we all have hanging around? This is the class for you. This is a FUN family class for all ages learning different folds. We will take recycled greeting cards and magazine pages and create boxes and mobiles. It’s a fun way to reuse items we all have in our houses to create unique and one-of-a-kind gifts. Make a gift for yourself or someone else. You will always have a gift box on hand to give away or fill with your own treasures. We will also be folding pages from magazines to make into ‘leaf’ mobiles or to decorate the tops
of your boxes.

Time: 9:30am – 11:00am
Cost: $15 adult/$5 child over 10
As Seen on TV a new store focusing on TV infomercial products, has recently opened in Broadway Plaza in Walnut Creek. They are located on the backside of the plaza, near Macy’s. As I am loyal Tivo user, I haven’t seen an infomercial in many years. Anything worthwhile checking out?
From the Ruth Bancroft website:

The reasonable sign says:
We’re Doing our Part
Make a difference and
Conserve energy today!
Please keep the doors closed
& the green in
Make everyday Earth Day
However, note the image towards the bottom. It’s a picture of a green dollar bill holding up a “Thank You” message. So the question is, is the “green” referring to the environment, or is it referring to the increased profit Broadway Plaza retailers stand to make by lowering their electricity bill?
PS Bonus points to anyone who can point out the grammatical error in the sign.
Way back last December I noted that Anthropologie was “coming soon” to downtown Walnut Creek but since then progress on the construction was going at a snail’s pace for some reason. Now finally construction has picked up significantly with a new sign and framing being done. Hopefully this means it will be finished in time for a fall opening,
This rental house (3 br/2 ba) is located between John Muir hospital and Northgate High School in Walnut Creek.
Check out the kitchen:
From the Craigslist ad:
This home is conveniently located near downtown Walnut Creek, including a variety of restaurants (e.g., Indian, Italian, Cuban), shops (e.g., Nordstrom, Target, Apple, and Tiffany & Co.), and Walnut Creek BART. Just blocks from a community pool, Heather Farm swim/sports complex, and Fresh & Easy grocery store. Home is located in Mt. Diablo Unified, one of the top rated school districts (ranked 10 out of 10). The nearest schools are Walnut Acres Elementary School, Foothill Middle School and Northgate High School, plus Berean Christian High School is just a few blocks away.
The house will be available in August for $3295/month with a $4000 deposit. The place looks very nice although I imagine the traffic on Ygnacio might be tough to deal with if you need to go to work during rush hour. Does this sound like a good deal?

Back in January I posted about the wedding goods store Unveiled Bridal on Cypress St. in downtown Walnut Creek and unfortunately they are closing their only store to focus exclusively on online sales. Their last day will be July 18th and you can see what kind of sales they are having below.
If you happen to have a wedding coming up drop by and you might be able to get a great deal on something. Otherwise you can always shop online here.
