My daughters especially love the Lego building table and the treehouse & can't forget the 2 cats inside there, Junior & Gordo ^_^ we make sure to be extra careful opening and closing the doors so they don't escape the store! We always bring our out of town guests here & it's always a hit :)

We were visiting with a large group and strolled around here for almost an hour. I loved the different sections and high ceilings. It appears the shop may have a few cats that roam around during the weekdays and am dying to come back to say hello! A great way to support local on your next drive between Austin and Houston, or simply if in the neighborhood! The entire strip is really cute with a variety of shops, art, food, and live music.

I stopped into this shop during the summer months after picking Thing Two up from summer camp. I…read moreapologize in advance for my naivete, but prior to coming here, I had no idea this brand existed. When I stepped in the door, I was greeted promptly and asked upon arrival if I had frequented the store previously. Of course, the answer was "no". Therefore, I was given a crash course on the brand. To my surprise as an Austinite this is an ATX founded brand (who knew, well, I guess everyone except for me). Although founded in the ATX, this brand uses authentic Mexican Artisans and factories to bring these colorful handbags to life. After getting an introduction, I was offered a glass of champagne, which of course I didn't say no to. When walking around the store, consumers will see hand-stiched leather in vibrant patterns. Each handbag, satchel, crossbody, wallet, etc. has intricate beadwork and are of high quality craftsmanship and designed for durability. Aside from the bags, this store has smaller items to include key chains and notebooks. Each display in the store is artistic in a way that shows creativity and efficient brand merchandising. After about 40 minutes of browsing, drinking champagne and indulging in sweets, I elected to purchase a clutch which was a last season bag. Because of this, it was $90 less than what I would have paid the season prior. However, it should be noted, the store has current and last season bags and accessories. The staff working will advise consumers upon entering which tables and shelves have sale/prior season items. The service here was akin to the type of service I receive when shopping at Saks or Niemans but just a tinny step below, which makes sense as this store is more of an affordable luxury store as opposed to a high-end end luxury store. If in Smithville, ATX or Katy, this store is definitely worth a visit if only for the champagne and treats! #supportlocal #supportMexicanArtisans

It has been at this location for about 12 years and they have a sister store about a block away on the same street. This place is absolutely chocked, full of antiques and collectibles. The store is filled by five separate vendors, one of which is the owner. You'll find all kinds of books, decor, furniture, old radios, Vaseline glass, toys, and much more. If you like antiques, this place should be on your radar, however, you'll be paying those high antique store prices. 10 photos included which don't even begin to capture the size of this place.

The poetry selection was a particularly nice large shelf, but all shelves managed to have a surprisingly good representation across category. There's also an attached shop of new-agey Magick with a -ck type stuff if that's your Thing. I find that it adds atmosphere. Staff is super helpful and friendly. It's basically the ideal of an indie bookshop and I'd highly recommend it.

No one was there to accept them. The dock area was a complete disaster area, strewn with dumped stuff & downed signs. You couldn't even get to the door at the top of the ramp.

However, I was by there again a couple of days later & the dock was still an accident waiting to happen. It's an admirable concept but too bad it's not better managed. I won't be taking anything there again.
