popup Vintage Christmas market

There was another chance to shop local for some unique, vintage gifts for the holidays yesterday. In Cleveland Heights east of Lake Merritt was the latest of a number of popup markets around Oakland. This one was focused on vintage Christmas gifts, from old LPs (actual vinyl) to vintage clothes to photos of old signs. Tina Tamale (and the indefatigable Gil) of La Borinqueña served up yummy Tamales, and Monique of Semita Dulce sold sweets. There was a lot of interesting, cool stuff for sale. It was also fun to check out the art cars, listen to music played on records, and just hang out.
