Hi Neighbors! Fulton Pre-K - 5 is excited to once again be a part of the Highland Park Yard Sale/Bryant Street Festival! We are accepting donations of gently-used items to sell. All proceeds will go to the PTA to fund things like teacher supplies and activities for the students. If you're looking to declutter but don't want to sell things yourself, we'll take care of it for you! Please no televisions, chemicals, or non-working appliances. You can drop donations on the porch of 709 N. Euclid Ave, 5506 Wellesley Ave, or 6483 Jackson Street through Saturday, June 3rd. Please let us know here or text 412-725-5261 if you'll be dropping off donations so we know to expect them. Then, please stop by Fulton's table on Bryant Street (not at the school) on June 4th and browse our selection! Thanks in advance, The Pittsburgh Fulton PTA

Trauma teddies also help us to reach parents and adults who otherwise may be reluctant to open up about their experience. Seeing a child smiling and playing with a trauma teddy given by our team makes them more likely to trust us and engage in conversation or accept a referral for further support." - Dan Emerick, Trauma Response Team Program Manager Please consider donating any of the following: * New or gently used teddy bears (small to medium sized) * Cases of smaller water bottles * Juice Boxes (apple or orange) * Capri Sun or other coolaid pouches * Keurig K-Cups * Ground coffee * Coffee filters * Easy Mac - single serving packs of mac & cheese * Ramen noodles (beef, chicken, shrimp) Canned soup (ideally pop-top - but can be can-opener style) Just email us your actual address to: mike(a)divehards.com<mailto:mike@divehards.com>, to let us know what to expect to pick up (as well as, what not to take off your porches !!!), and we will get back to you.

Scissor and Rotary Blade Sharpening
by Bob Staresinic 20 Aug '23

20 Aug '23

Hello neighbors I will be sharpening sewing scissors and rotary blades in front of Firecracker Fabrics and Cut & Sew Studio on April 1st and 2nd. They are located at the corner of Chislett and Greenwood Streets (1745 Chislett St) in Morningside. On Saturday, 4/1, I will be there to have folks drop off their scissors/blades, and then on Sunday, 4/2, to return them cleaned and in good working order. Both days I will be there during the normal weekend hours for Firecracker Fabrics, 11 am to 4 pm. I will probably have time to get some stuff sharpened before the end of Saturday, but it depends on how many people show up versus how much time I can spend sharpening. Anything dropped off on Saturday will be ready for pickup on Sunday. I should have some time to do some sharpening on Sunday between folks picking their stuff up. Stop on down and see me either day. If you have questions about your scissors and are not sure if they should be sharpened, I can take a look at them. I can sharpen your tiny snips, scissors up to 12 inches long, and pinking shears. I will be charging $7 for scissors and $3 for rotary blades, and take cash, credit or Venmo. If you have not been to Firecracker Fabrics, you should stop and check them out. It is a nice little store, with interesting fabrics and everything you need for your sewing projects, and very helpful staff. Take a look around and be inspired, or check them out on Facebook or at www.firecrackerfabrics.com. The Cut & Sew Studio is worth checking out also, especially if you are looking to learn how to sew or learn new skills. They generally have classes on the weekends, so you may not be able to get in to take a good look around on these dates, but you can see what is going on. Feel free to email me with any questions, and maybe I will see you this weekend. Bob Bob's Cutting Edge sharpening service
