The Old Horsey Set

A tableaux from the Antique Shops on West Sixth.

Tip Your Hat

This was a display at the Antique shops on West Sixth last month.

Some Neon

Roadhouse Relics on South First will fix you up with a sign for your home or business.

A Wise Place to Plug In?

This odd painting was for sale at the Armadillo Christmas Bazaar. As realistic as the sockets look, they were painted and quite large.

Fancy Boots

These were on offer at the Armadillo Christmas Bazaar.

Handcrafted Things for Your Wall

These were for sale at the Armadillo Christmas Bazaar where we almost always go on Christmas Eve.

Pink Toys

The other day when I was running errands I stopped in a toy store that is between the place that replaces batteries in my cheap watches and the Honda dealer where I had an appointment for yet another airbag repair. I saw this cap gun and immediately thought of the June theme: pink! Click here to see what other City Daily Photo sites have to say about the color pink.

Welcoming

This shop just off South Congress wants your business. Even if you have a baby in tow. No disabled access, though?

How About a Little Succulent?

FFP waits for me while I take a picture of the succulents outside Farm to Market grocery on South Congress. Might make a great gift for a friend.

Not Just Books

South Congress Books had this vignette on one of their shelves recently. It's not just books at this wonderful shop: there are art, collectibles, and artifacts. This is a great place to shop if you are in Austin.

You Could Have Had it!!

Among the decorations for sale last month at the Settlement Home Garage Sale was this Santa sax player. Several pals of ours could have used it!

What else is there to say?

The shops on Second Street hope that you'll subscribe to this philosophy.

Um...OK

This T-Shirt can be purchased at the Capra and Cavelli clothing shop in the Hilton Convention Center Hotel. I'm not sure what to think of it.

Critters in a Canoe

Last month when some friends visited we took them shopping for some odd stuff. At a North Austin taxidermy, flag and bone dealer these stuffed critters were available, posed as if piloting a canoe.

New Shop

A Swatch store didn't make it in this location.  Now electric bikes are having a go at it. On Second Street.

Sensual?

It's the first of the month and, of course, it's theme day at the City Daily Photo portal. I shot this picture of the window of a lingerie store on Second Street last year. It's funny how mannequins can evoke sensuality, isn't it? Click here to see what others have posted for this theme day.

Outsider Art

The window at Yard Dog on South Congress. They sell what one would call 'outsider art' or 'folk art.'

Recycling Shop

I never have worn one and never will. But some folks did and they are offered up for reuse. Seems like wedding dresses are the last bastion of 'one-time use!'

Hippie Art

This bit of art for your yard or home is available on South Congress. As someone who drove a lot of VW Bugs, images of them always make me smile.

Unique Shopping on SoCo

The TripleZThreadZ shop on South Congress serves up vintage Western shirts with their custom embroidery. They are pretty mind-blowing as the mural outside implies.
