White Elephant Sale

(event)
Free

If this isn't already on your radar, take note now. One weekend, a blowout sale and a 2-acre warehouse with aisle upon aisle of clothes, jewelry, books, home decor, appliances, tools and more. The famous White Elephant Sale presented by the Oakland Museum Women's Board is back in town. If the Alameda Flea Market is your thing, trek across the bridge for this event and make a beeline for the clothes.

The fact that Gravel & Gold’s URL could be read, rather morosely, as “Graveland Gold,” produces satisfied grins on the faces of Cassie McGettigan, Nile Nash and Lisa Foti-Straus, the twenty-something friends who co-own the new Mission District boutique that specializes in home accessories and vintage clothing. “It’s a little dark, but it seems to be an awesome name for a vintage store,” says McGettigan, a Virginia native.
