It's that time of year again. The annual WES sale to benefit the Oakland Museum is approaching. Seventeen departments manned by 1000 volunteers in a 96,000 square foot warehouse. We sell all manner of fabulous items (at fabulous prices) that have been donated by a generous public. It's the biggest and best rummage sale in Northern California. The last Sunday in January is the Preview Sale which charges a fee to shoppers to get the first peek at the offerings of the year. The first weekend in March is THE big sale that is free to the public. Checkout
the website for all pertinent information about dates, donations and how to buy preview tickets. If you're in the area, come by and see me in the Linen Department. Questions? Email me. To see other W posts go to
ABC Wednesday, a fun meme to visit and participate in.
A little too far for us, but hope it goes well.
ReplyDeleteThere's only one problem here... I'm on the East Coast. Other than that, it sounds like a great event!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up! Ever since I heard about the Elephant Sale several decades ago, I've wanted to attend one. Maybe 2011 will be my year! Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteOh, I SO want to go to that sale!! Do you suppose Virgin Atlantic would allow me to bring extra suitcases (plus a packing case or two) home with me? LOL!
ReplyDeleteOn behalf of the team, thanks for taking part in ABC Wednesday this week!
What a great idea! I won't make it, but good luck, WES!

Sounds like my kind of sale... but a little far for me, I'd say. :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for the letter W. I hope that it goes well!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds wonderful! Wish I could come and browse :-)
ReplyDeleteWhite Elephant Sale! Of Course! Why didn't I think of this? Meow! It's probably because cats like to travel light!
