Every year the Oakland Museum hosts a "White Elephant" rummage sale from donations given throughout the preceding year. They collect and organize everything in an enormous warehouse and for one weekend, host their sale.
I was fortunate enough to get presale tickets to the warehouse from my friend Melissa so I didn't have to brave the crowds on the one weekend open to the public. The warehouse is overwhelmingly stocked with amazing finds. I walked in, couldn't believe how big the place was, and completely forgot to take any photos.
But here is my loot from the day-- all for about $35.
1. ruffly high-collar shirt
2. cheese knife
3. cheese cutting board with inlaying knife
4. decanter
5. personal library labels
6. vintage florence postcard
7. gelato ice cream scoop
8. set of napkins
9. thermos
10. dan haren bobble head
