Uncommon Objects

While in Texas we were able to squeeze in a quick trip to Uncommon Objects in Austin. The name alone is the perfect description of the wares offered by their dealers. Let's browse through and take a look. Please excuse the photo quality, I didn't want to use a flash and draw attention. If you know what I mean. Kind of like how I didn't want to draw attention during this shopping trip.

The small booths were packed with unique and unusual vintage goods. It's easy to see why this place is so popular.  Their selections are so varied, from industrial and medical to romantic and feminine.

Their jewelry counter was enormous. I'm sure a girl could spend lots of time scouring every display case.

I doubt anyone leaves this shop empty handed and I bet even the husbands don't mind going here. If you're ever in the area be sure to make this one of your stops. I promise you'll love it!

I'm sure my husband thanks you for the spend-free shopping trip I got to take with you!! So many things I would love to have. Thanks for the window shopping.

I, too, love this shop! Brought my Chicago friends there, and to Guero's Taco Bar (two classic Austin favs) before heading out to Round Top. Great pictures!

I love this store! I haven't visit for a long time and you are making me want to! You are right, when I did visit, I didn't leave empty handed!

Heather -
Thanks so much for posting about this great place! I live about 3 1/2 hr. from Austin and do get there from time to time. I'll have to be sure and check it out.
The woman in the door of your first picture looks a tad suspicious! Ha!
I'm always inspired reading your blog.

Looks like such a fun place! Wish I could find a shop like that closer to home (MN). I'd have a hay day.

Now that looks like an interesting shop. Yes definitely one that husbands wouldn't mind. Although I have to say my husband loves antique shops. Did you get anything there?

Hugs,
LeAnn :)

I have to agree with Chris, it's the best and seems to get better and better. I spend hours here and always find a treasure. They finally have to tell me they are closing or my husband gives me the look that he's ready to go :)

[Tami]

I leave in Texas, only about 4 hours I guess I need to get out more. Next time your in Texas you should check out Bandara Texas, lots of shops bring your swimsuit so you can float down the river.

[missy]

What a cool place. Although, that lady looking out the front door scares me...

[Rosemary]

What a great place Heather!
You are so lucky to have gone there.

[Sue]

Thankyou Heather, this tops the lot!! That shop has to be the best shop Ive ever seen, I would be in there for days!!Please tell me they are really pricy, just to make me feel better! If they would only open over here....again Im envious, but thankyou!
Sue

[Courtney]

I'll definitely bring Erika! I love this store. Currently looking at a needlepoint seagull we bought there a year ago. Makes me laugh every time I pass it. Great shop!

[Alison Gibbs]

Wow what a fun place to visit or even better to shop in.
Alison

[Chris Brown]

By far my favorite shop in Austin, and one of the best in the country for odd finds. Look for a interview with owner Steve Wiman in the debut issue of REFUELED.

Peace & Love,
Chris

[erika]

HOLY COW! I've already told Courtney (in(side) the loop) I'm coming back to Texas for Austin's city-wide yard sale... this will be a must see! Looked for you at Round Top... couldn't find you! I hate that we didn't get to meet... maybe next year!?

[Joy]

Now that looks like my kind of place!

[Alisa]
