Toni's Visit to Jack of All Trades Market at Jack London Square


 
 Today was an absolutely beautiful day in the Bay Area, spring-like and warm.  I decided to pay a visit to the Jack of all Trades Market down at Jack London Square at the Oakland waterfront.  I found one fabulous vintage seller, Recycled Divas, who had a wonderful collection of fur coats, figurines and jewelry.  I also met a sister-brother team selling beautiful scarves Kaleidoscarves.  And I had the chance to visit with my good friend Marissa Villa who makes beautiful jewelry and surprised me with a silver and shell ring that she got from her travels in Europe last summer.  Wow what a day!

The Oakland Museum White Elephant Preview Sale

 
 I had the most fun today at the Oakland Museum's White Elephant Preview Sale.  Even though it was competing with the opening of Super Bowl City in SF, the sale was thronged with shoppers.  I especially liked spending time in the clothing department.  I had a few temptations that I had to turn down for different reasons, but I still got some very stylish deals.  I also bought a vintage doll from the 1930's.  She's adorable.  I definitely will be going to their regular White Elephant sale the first weekend in March (the 5th & 6th).  I have heard that the very best deals to be had on everything will be on Sunday (the 6th).  There are a few designer clothing items that I hope will still be there.  But we will see.  Enjoy the photos!
