City Wide Vendors

I thought you might enjoy seeing who was selling at the City Wide Garage Sale this past weekend in Austin Texas:

This was Andrea's booth.  She was new to selling a City Wide.

Janet of Talk Sweet Talk's booth.

Here was Hector and Susie of Fundustrial's things.

Nancy and Mike of House Wren.

My buds, Mickie and Brandy, of Accumulations.

 Cheryl Coleman's booth.

And lastly was my space. Hope you enjoyed seeing the vendors and the great things they all carry.  Make plans to attend the next City Wide Garage Sale if you in the Austin area anytime soon.

Austin Shopping

Warning...This is going to be a long post so you might want to grab your favorite drink!!

We made a very quick trip to Austin this past weekend and I just wanted to share what caught my eye.  Let's start at Uncommon Objects:

Jeanette's moved to a new space and I just loved all she had here.

I'm always loving the color blue.  Those were great shutters.

Look at all the blue bottles and the blue paint peeking through on this table.

You just never know what you will find here!

The oval window in the corner was fabulous as was the oval screen. 

Yes, those are rattler's.  Pure art!  Only Linda Parker could display something like this and it would look fabulous.

Another view of the window and screen.

Isn't this cabinet fabulous.  The handles are off of clip boards.  So cleaver.

More pretties!

After we left Uncommon Objects, we found the Austin Antique Mall off McCann Street in Austin where Mickie and Brandy have a booth at.  We'd never been to this mall and it's only minutes from my son's place.  Unfortunatley, by the time I found their booth my camera battery wouldn't work, but I can gurantee you that their booth was awesome.

I also found Charyl Coleman's booth and another one that interested me.  You may remember me going on and on about her booth last time at the City Wide Garage Sale.  See the previous post for more on her:

Of course she had some great things in her space.  See that industrial magazine rack leaning against the primitive cabinet, I should have bought it because I've thought about it so since seeing it last time.

I'm not sure who's white booth this was but it seemed interesting.

And I think this booth had some interesting things. 

I actually spied a mannequin, which you can barely see in the corner, that I had sold to another vendor during one of the past Warrenton shows and now it's home here.  Sorry about the glare but this is when my camera battery was starting to go.

I do hope to go back soon to this shop, there was just so much to see.  Hope you enjoyed the tour.

City Wide Garage Sale

We went to the City Wide Garage Sale in Austin Tx this past weekend.  I know the name is deceiving as it's not actually a garage sale, that's just what they call it.  It's an almost monthly sale with everything from antique to modern to just about everything you can imagine.  I used to do this sale several times a year but haven't been able to in a few years now, but I love to go shop it. 

There were some great vendors this time and I found a new vendor and she just blew me away, Charyl Coleman.  Many of the people that were in her booth, and it was packed, knew her from having designed at The Homestead in Fredericksburg Tx and several other places in Austin (and speaking of The Homestead-go read Binky's Blog today, the Homestead is closing). 

Charyl had all the things I love, great vintage ledgers, yard long pictures, crusty old mirrors with the silver missing, industrial tables, stools, and many more industrial things, wooden boxes, old old books, clocks, and so much more.  I know these pictures don't do justice of how awesome her booth really was:

I do wish I had taken a wider shot of this but like I said there were so many people in her space it was hard to take pics.

Loved the industrial stool and phone.

Look at this fabulous cart.

There's one of the ledger's under the hand mirror.  She had several great hand mirrors.

Here's a side view of her space.  She even had plants.

A great old wicker chair.

She said she also designed Hotel Havana in San Antonio and a lot of her merchandise were items she bought back from the Hotel when it changed to a new owner.  She had a ton of old metal soap holders that came from the Hotel Havana, I did buy one of these.

There was lots to see at city wide this month and many great vendors were there this time.  Take a look:

Accumulations

 French Vanilla

The Veranda

Linda Parker

I can't remember who this vendor was, but I loved the hands in the bowl, missing fingers and all.  Hope you enjoyed touring City Wide and if you are in Austin you should check their website to see when the next one is.  Just click on their name at the beginning of this post to be routed to their site.

I'll be taking a blogging break for a while.  Be back soon!  Have a great Summer.
