Over the last several months I've been decorating a shipping container and Paper Work was the first place I thought of for art. My new space looks amazing with all the different pieces I got from here and I feel good knowing I'm supporting locals rather than Target. I give Paper Work 5 stars when I wish I could give them 10. The staff is amazing, the owner is incredible and I always find something for me or for a gift. If you live in Austin, you should come here more often. If you are visiting, this is the place to shop and buy gifts for everybody who couldn't come to Austin with you.

I also spotted some photo books and coffee table books which I do enjoy getting from time to time. The accessories are various items and they are fun and unique. There is cards and if I recall correctly socks for example. The gentleman that worked here was very nice and helpful with all of our questions. This bookstore reminds me and take me back to the 1990's as I just came out to myself and was curious and eager to learn about LGBTQ history and I would come across these little independently owned stores that specialized in this and I learned so much. So coming here was a slice of nostalgia of my younger years which was a pleasant reminiscing.

Much easier to just slip over to 12th Street, do your shopping, and then reward yourself with a drink next door (as you should). Highly recommend for a relaxed, feel-good browse.

I love this place because you can find some great and unexpected finds!…read more Last time I got a silver dish, a trinket box and a few costume jewelry rings. This time I got three sterling silver rings which I'm super stoked about! Usually a good price for most finds, but nothing has a price tag so you have to ask for prices for each item. Also pretty dusty and crammed. It doesn't bother me personally as long as I can find something cool, but looks like some folk are unhappy about it.

There are so many packs to choose from. I also like the handbags that are for sale. They are vegan and seem to be of great quality.

The location is also great because you can shop and then grab lunch or drinks nearby since it's in the prime Mueller neighborhood.
