To those who are expert garage sale goers,

My parents have taught us well.  They would always wake us up at 7am and head out to garage sales.  You can find some amazing items and for cheap.  

Last week my friends and I piled in our cars to head to the White Elephant Sale!!!  The White Elephant Sale is a once a year warehouse sale of goodies to raise money for the Oakland Art Museum.  Of course, we meet at someone's house for a fuel up breakfast before we headed out.  Each year you gain a new discovery that will help you out in your power shopping extravaganza.  My sister mentioned that I should make some snacks to go and sure enough I did.  I made some mini mozzarella, basil, olive oil sandwiches, zip-locked some peanut butter filled pretzels, and apple juice boxes.  Sure enough the food was stashed in our purses and consumed within two hours of shopping.

I got an amazing mini 5-game travel set, very beautiful small flower vases, delicate scarves and more.

P.S. I love garage sales!
