Charyl Coleman-August City Wide in Austin

Each time we are at the City Wide Garage Sale in Austin Texas I always love seeing what new vignette Charyl Coleman will create.  She didn't disappoint this time either.  She finds the best industrial things and I just loved seeing them all.  What ya think?

She's also having a huge sale this weekend, so if you are in the Austin Tx area this is one sale that you don't want to miss.  Here's the info.:

  Happy Friday eve!!

It's All Industrial

I'm sure you've probably read where I just love all that Charyl Coleman does at her booth at City Wide.  Well since this weekend is the City Wide Garage Sale in Austin, I thought I'd show you just how fabulous her booth was last month there:

Austin Vendors

I thought I'd show you a few booths of vendors that were at the past City Wide Garage Sale.  It's becoming a really great almost monthly show for us.  The quality of vendors is really improving as well.  I've been to the show at times when there weren't many people there, but I'm really enjoying seeing all the great displays that everyone is putting together.

We'll start out at my booth:

Lots of things in these pictures sold.  We are thankful for all the customers that came out and we'll be back there again this month the weekend after Thanksgiving.  I hope you'll make plans to come out to the show in you are in Austin Tx that weekend.

Here's more of the vendors that were there:

Charyl Coleman's Booth

It was a great weekend at the City Wide Garage Sale in Austin.  It was indoors and we didn't have to beat the Texas heat.  There were so many awesome vendors this month here, but I wanted to show you Charyl Coleman's booth.  She finds the most amazing things.  Just look at this crushed red velvet sofa and chair and I do think it went to a new home.

She has really great industrial items as well.  Just take a look:

She will be doing her first show at The Red Barn Antique Show this Fall in Round Top Texas.  So if you can't come and see her at City Wide be sure and look for her at The Red Barn.  Check out my other blog for more great vendors at this show.

Let's Go to Austin this Weekend

If you are anywhere near Austin Texas this weekend you should check out the City Wide Garage Sale.  It's not really a garage sale, it's an indoor venue that allows vendors to sell vintage items.  It runs Saturday and Sunday and there is early buying available on Saturday morning.  You usually can find over 50 vendors under one roof selling anything from modern, country, primitive, industrial and just about anything you are looking for.  Check out their website HERE for more details.

And since you are just a few blocks away from Uncommon Objects Antique Shop:

why not head out to South Congress and check out them out. 

Then, have lunch at Guero's:

They have really good food and a variety to choose from.  It can be a fun day shopping inside the air conditioned buildings and beating the Texas Heat.  Maybe I'll see you there. 

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.
