We have officially experienced the craziest, most fun and GINORMOUS rummage sale imaginable – bigger than any swapmeet we’ve ever been to.\u00a0 It’s the Bainbridge Island Rotary Auction & Rummage Sale –<\/span> 6 acres of everything you can imagine, and not just one of everything, but tons of everything – hundreds of bikes and lawn mowers, sporting goods, couches galore, antiques, thousands of books, jewelry, camping equipment and on and on.\u00a0 Some items are part of a silent auction, but most are priced to sell.\u00a0 And what a free-for-all…at 8A.M. the National Anthem is sung, and no sooner than you hear the last line: “and the home of the brave” the caution tape comes down and people sprint for what they want.\u00a0 If you don’t run, you will be run down. Pure insanity, but what a blast.\u00a0 Here’s just a few of the things we scored –<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

A fruit basket (although wouldn’t it be cute
with moss and succulents planted in it?)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
A sun-catcher<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
