1986 MW’s Xmas party photo album (1075 Valencia Avenue)
Vintage photo album from a Montgomery Ward Christmas party at the Airport Hilton on December 14, 1986, photos by Bob Medina. Today I found the photo album in an abandoned shopping cart while walking ion the sidewalk in front of Apni Mandi in the Cala Shopping Center in Sunnyvale. Written inside the front cover was “Montgomery Ward Christmas Party at the Airport Hilton on Sunday December 14, 1986. Photos by Bob Medina.” The album includes 142 photos in of the people at the party. In the shopping cart was also some correspondence to the owners of the photo album: to ER or PH, residents of 1571 West El Camino Real, Apartment 6, Mountain View, CA 94040, and ER, resident of 466-1/2 View Street, Mountain View, CA 94041. Suggestions on what to do with the album are welcome. If you were at that Christmas party or know the people, you are welcome to it. There are 23 blank sheets from the photo album, with six 3” x 5” photo inserts per sheet, totaling 138 photos. You can make a front and back cover for the sheets to create a photo album.. Near building 1075 Valencia Avenue in Sunnyvale, off South Mary Avenue and behind the Crosswalk Church. Please include your available pick up time in your response and I will send you directions.

Fine Art Supplies (Los altos public library)
Hello Sustainable community🌸🙋♀️, I’m a sustainable artist and community educator, and I’m reaching out to see if anyone has extra art supplies or tools they are no longer using and would be willing to pass along. I’m currently looking for: • Foam boards (at least ½-inch to 1-inch thick; any size is welcome) • A small drill • A heavy-duty paper cutter (for thicker papers and cardboard) • Acrylic primer (gesso) for canvases • Acrylic paint markers I love giving materials a second life through art projects, workshops, and community programs, so used items are absolutely welcome. If you have any of these supplies collecting dust and would like them to be put to good creative use, please send me a message and a photo of your considered supply so I can make sure that’s what I can use. Thank you so much for helping support sustainable art and creative education in our community! I also have included some photos of these supplies so maybe they are easier to help with my list. Warmly, Leila

Gray and black car seat cover with adjustable straps. It is about six feet long. The two middle straps are attached to the cover by threads and need stitching back on, by hand or sewing machine.

Product Features: * Design: Form-fitting, single-piece layout that covers the headrest, backrest, and bottom seat cushion. * Material: Breathable heather gray fabric accented with durable black faux leather trim along the borders. * Securing Mechanism: Adjustable nylon straps, upper headrest buckles, and lower anchor points designed to prevent slipping during daily use.

lots of sanitized empty spice jars (By the Mountain View Caltrain)
Promised
An eclectic collection. Some labels have been removed to the best of my ability, but others remain or were printed on the glass and cannot be removed. With this set, you can get Penzey's spices in plastic bags, which is much cheaper than buying full spice jars from Penzey's. Most bottles come with the sprinkling cap under the lid. Easy porch pick-up from an ungated complex with plenty of available parking for guests. Easy to find with my instructions. Moffett and Central Avenue.
