Finch



One more Austin shop for you this week: Finch. Full of all the things I love--cards, pillows, ceramic-ky things, Texas sunshine--it is definitely a must-see. Place it on your list next time you're in town. (It's definitely on mine!)

Walton's Fancy and Staple

More Austin love today! (Can you tell I have a crush?) This time I've got photos of our visit to Walton's Fancy and Staple. It's a lovely bakery/deli/cafe/florist/cute stuff kind of venue, and it also happens to be owned by Sandra Bullock--who I also happen to like even more now that I've seen what great taste she's got in baked goods/deli food/cafes/flowers/stuff.






















(Psst. Check out extra pics on my Flickr page.)

Spartan and Bows + Arrows



Last week in Austin, I had a chance to check out some shops that have been on my list for a long time. First up was Spartan and its next-door neighbor, Bows + Arrows. The stores are connected by a open doorway inside, which is perfect since the shops are owned by two friends, Lauren and Currie (how fun is that?).

We got a chance to chat with Bows + Arrows owner Lauren, who told us a little about her shop, life in Austin, and about the blog she and Currie just launched at arrowandarrow.com. Get a load of the cuteness below, and if you like what you see, get a little more of the action with additional photos on my Flickr page.

(P.S. How Austin is that Willie Nelson pillow?)
