Vintage Shopping in Austin

Everyone says go to Uncommon Objects. "It's the cool place in Austin."

What if I said--no?  Go to a garage sale. A real estate sale. 

For goodness sake, hit up Goodwill.

I've got uncommon all up in my garage.

Wanna pay me?

We walked a mile in "vintage stores"to get to this place,

they would not let me pass the front desk with my camera,

{that seemed reasonable enough}

but then we went uncommon cubby to uncommon cubby...

Um, not so uncommon. It's just a garage sale on steroids.

And, it's expensive. Very expensive.

I was appalled...

Entertaining to say the least.
Some interesting stuff, but--

No I WILL NOT pay $80 for plastic book ends. 

I will NOT pay $75 for an armadillo holding a beer.

A brooch for $100? No. Just, never.

But enough hatin'.

It's just the cheap chick talkin' here. 

I want the deals. I want you to get deals too.

Now with that said, I can't give you a full break down

of "where to go" while vintage shopping in Austin.

However, I can tell you I thoroughly enjoyed talking to

Amelia of Ameila's Retro Vogue + Relics. 

She's a gem, just ask her a question.

Any question.

Then there's Buffalo Exchange who

NEVER... ever... lets me down. 

(plus the one in Austin has "hip-er" stuff)
