Uncommon Austin

For many years I believed that Austin would one day be my home. I loved it there. The city was not quite like any I had ever known.

Last Friday, a week ago, we were in Austin for a granddaughter's high school graduation. Now I remember why I loved it there. It was the quirkyness, the people, the music & the art. And, the restaurants. Ahhh...and the shops. Stephanie Rubiano, who lives in Austin, suggested that I not miss this one, when I told her I would be in town.

uncommon objects is located in a part of Austin that cries out quirky. Uncommon. Located on South Congress Avenue, SoCo, is quite the place to be. Especially on First Thursday's.

And, is just down the road from the state capitol.

I looked more than I bought, which is hard to believe, for me. I did get away with a few goodies.

We had started ealier that morning at the Austin Farmer's Market. It's located downtown at 4th and Guadalupe. The event ~ Taste of Summer. Lookie at some of the goodies they had to offer that day. Oh, and we did eat lunch at a favorite of ours, Threadgills.
That is a another story.
