Fabulous finds at the oakland white elephant

The white elephant pre-sale was a few weeks ago and was totally overwhelming. It always is. One needs to brings a personal sherpa in order to fully extract the maximum amount of goodness.
Next year, or maybe this march, I have a new strategy. Get there EARLY. Park close. Return to car with first load of crap and then return.

WAIT A SECOND.

Wasn’t I just posting about not needing any more stuff?

How could I resist all these frames tho? Round and Oval frames tend to be pricey and these were all cheap and totally cute.

For the two matching round ones I’m thinking of doing portraits of our cats. With olives on their heads.

I also bought some foam floor puzzle pieces for Jack to flobber around on. And a ton of cute clothes for an older Jack.

And some very cute vintage rhinestone buttons and some excellent fabric. Oh, and a ton of zippers in various sizes.

The possibilities are endless at the white elephant sale tho. There was a bright blue velvety arm chair that i lusted after for my art room and all kinds of other goodness. We didn’t even make it into most of the areas. I by passed books and clothes completely. Next year we go with no little ones so that we can let our greed run wild and free .. unfettered, if you will.
