I was on the hunt for a magical naturally sourced perfume spray that was sold out pretty much everywhere online. I was excited to see that Small World Goods carried it. I arranged to have it shipped out to me through their online store. After receiving the fragrant product - and receiving a card that explained more about Small World Goods' commitment to supporting ethical artists and small businesses - I have become a genuine fan and a repeat customer. I love Small World Goods' selection of quality unique products and I appreciate that I'm supporting a business owner that is full of integrity. If you live in the Austin area - definitely be sure to stop into this special spot. If you don't live in the area - be sure to browse their website and buy something intentional for either you, a family member, a friend and/or loved one.

Dreamy neutrals, warm textiles, and large lush plants invite you to spend some time in this beautiful space. This is a perfect shop to find that special gift or to treat yourself to something unique and made by independent artisans. We found some amazing ceramic ware for a friend's housewarming, and I ended up purchasing one of their gorgeous raw silk shirts for myself. The independent brands are among the list of coveted in this shop. Bri, the owner and founder of the Good Hippie line of body products, is often there hanging out with an approachable smile and a warm passion for the artists she supports in her shop. No pretension here, and everything is well-priced. To boot, she shares the space with long-time treasure of the Austin jewelry scene, Christine Fail, who showcases her line of minimal jewelry in addition to other artist-produced goods. This shop is a MUST-SEE on the east side and is sure to gain a huge following very soon!

The middle section of the store was mostly beautiful (but pricey!) jewelry by Fail Collective and other designers.There were also a lot of beautiful ceramics and some aromatherapy items - bundles of dried sage, scent diffusers, etc. This would be a nice place to check out if you're looking for a gift for someone with a clean, simple, or rustic/earthy aesthetic....and not much of a budget to mind.

Now, the real star: the gluten-free baked goods. We tried four different things, cookies included, and honestly? I was stunned. The flavor, the softness, the balance, nothing felt like a "gluten-free compromise." It tasted like the real deal, maybe even better. Not overly sweet, not dry, not crumbly, just genuinely delicious pastries that happen to be gluten-free. I don't know what magic they're working in that kitchen, but this is easily the best gluten-free bakery I've come across. A must-visit, no question.

Treasure City Thrift recently moved into my neighborhood, so I finally stopped in to see what it…read morewas all about. On my first visit, I noticed they had a nice mix of clothing, shoes, glassware, and home décor, so I came back this weekend hoping to browse the clothing racks. I struck out on clothes this time around--not because they didn't have any, just because nothing in my size was quite my style, condition, or price point. That's thrifting, though. You never know what you're going to find, and sometimes the best score is in a completely different aisle. In my case, I walked out with a pair of vintage Converse All Stars in excellent condition for only $5, plus several beautiful pressed glass pieces for next to nothing. I'd call that a successful trip! When I drove by on Sunday, they had boxes and boxes of free items out front with people happily digging through them. It was way too hot for me to join the hunt, but once the Texas weather cools off, I definitely will. This feels like one of those thrift stores that's worth stopping into regularly because the inventory is always changing, and you never know what treasure you'll find next.

Stepping through the door is like visiting a hoarder's house who made a feeble attempt in trying to create a thrift store. There's a lot of clothes here and they seem to be in line with what Goodwill would price them at. This is a one to two star business, but I'll add a star since they do make an effort to help the homeless. You're more likely to walk out of here empty-handed then to find some small treasure here. There's enough parking out front and you can grab a free condom on your way out.

It's a great gift shop for both locals and visitors. Some of my favorites gift options include the pottery mugs, cards, Texas stuffs and handmade soaps.

However, I definitely would recommend to people who are looking for fancy gifts! A very cute store to visit and shop.

After a months-long search for the perfect exterior sconce, A Custom House had one made for me at a reasonable price. And Sally knew what my custom drapes needed to be after spending 5 minutes in my home. Everyone who sees them comments, "those are SO you!" Their art-hanging and furniture placement is second-to-none. Julie and Sally rearranged things to make a wonderful party "flow," and the artwork is finally hanging with the right scale and groupings. We especially loved the little pile they left of "items that would be happier living elsewhere." Ha! These ladies are a hoot and have a truly rare talent. Hooray for ACH!!
