Weekend revelry roundup: Mother's Day, Flower Fest and sunshine

Am I reading this weather forecast right? Sunshine? High 70s?! It's prime weather for a prime time weekend. We start things off with a friendly reminder SUNDAY. IS. MOTHER'S DAY. Make sure you plan ahead and celebrate the moms in your life! There are lots of brunches available at restaurants  throughout the region, or if you are in Edmonds you can paint with Mom at Glazed and Amazed from 10-6. You'll be able to make some pottery and learn a new skill. You can call the shop for reservations, but will also have walk in painting on a first come, first serve basis.  Also on Mother's Day, the Seattle Women's Jazz Orchestra will be performing the Mother's Day Matinee with Dee Daniels. The show will be at 2 pm at Benroya Hall.  You could also take Mom to the 16th annual Flower Festival at Pike Place Market! Over 30 flower farms will be showcasing their blooms of tulips, daffodils and more. Live music will fill the market and the first 500 shoppers who spend 50 dollars or more at the market will get a free Pike Place flower vase. The Flower Festival is Saturday and Sunday.  As for the rest of the weekend, celebrate the "Mother of All Toy Shows" at the Washington State Toy Show! Vendors will have plenty of retro toys, legos, video games and other collectibles available for sale.
