The White Elephant...


The White Elephant is a "thrift/antique" shop in downtown Ocala with goodies piled wall-to-wall for those aficionados of such places. You can even bring your legal papers here to have them notarized.

I always think that I may find some treasure in such a place! Or have my papers notarized.

Looks like my kind of place. Re: What do I like about the Mini. It's sporty and just looks like FUN!

Jack said...

Ah! So THIS is where you get your clothes . . .

The entry itself is so appealing that any one would peep in.

I bet this is a fun place to do some browsing.

Sounds like a good place to have a rummage around!

I could spend some time here. Trouble is... I always take another person's junk away.

I would never think to bring legal papers to an antique or thrift shop. I would be afraid they would get lost.

Judy said...

It would be fun to look around in there. Were there any elephants?

I try to avoid going in places like this because I often buy something I don't even need!

What a different and cool place. Nice that you can shop and do business with your papers as well! :)
I like a lot the decoration!

I used to love going to thrift or collectible stores but SB (since Bob) I really have no desire to do that there thing. MB

I am going to have to take a look this week. I am having my classes meet at the Brick City Gallery this week for the "Healing Heart" exhibit and I will have time between classes to 'shop'...and of course....to take a few photos in the 'big city' ;)

Ah! A white elephant notary public. I've been looing for one everywhere!

Lee Spangler said...

It sure shows differing tastes. I guess it is worth praisng individual differences but clearly one man's junk is another's treasure

EG CameraGirl said...

That's an odd combination: notary and thrift shop. It's rare to find anything great in such a shop, at least it is for me.

Amazing how these are getting more and more popular, truly a sign of the times.

Halcyon said...

Certainly an interesting mix. I've never heard of a thrift shop/notary combination. But if it works, it works!

Like an "all-around" place.. perhaps except there are no elephants :)
