Junking Adventures to share Day 1 Uncommon Objects

A few weeks ago I started planning for my trip to south central Texas. My DH's side of the family was planning a reunion, and I can't take a trip without doing some junkin. So DH had the idea of us leaving a day early, heading south, staying near Austin, and then starting out our day in Austin, junkin all day making our way up back in Temple which is north of Austin.
My first order of business was to contact Teresa Cano for a list of "must see" places in that area.
I took so many pictures, and stopped at so many great shops that I cannot get them all in one post. So check back every day for the next stop.
Of course high on both of our lists was Uncommon Objects in Austin. Although it was not the first place we stopped, I am starting with it since it was my main Destination.
This is an antique store like no other I've ever been to. It is as if Bohemian and Vintage had a baby and it was Uncommon Objects. The strangest and most wonderful collection of things I've ever seen. Hip, colorful, unusual, and fun.
It's on a street with parking problems, and lined with stores that are a bit off the beaten path.
If I'd been alone I would have stopped in a few more but I was here for Uncommon Objects.
As I was walking in the store I overheard a conversation of a couple of other shoppers. "Hey this looks like a neat place, Let's check it out". Well little did they know that they were casually checking out a place I'd been Jonesing for for quite awhile.
Here are some pictures, but this does not do it justice.
This is a display of the most random objects, I loved it.

That's me, I had to get this pic because of my love of numbers, But I didn't take any of these home.

Some thigs can tell such a story

You'll hear more about this booth later

can anyone give me a hand?

colorful

I loved these, and even took some home. Love the colors and NUMBERS-Perfect!

This is Don, read more about Don here. He wrote up my ticket and we talked for a bit. I told him that Teresa had recommended the place, and he knew her. His booth (behind him) is so young and exciting. Lots of carnival themed items.

Even though I'd finished checking out I just had to get something I found in his booth.

This is an old gear mold that I got from Don. I'm keeping this gem, It's about a foot tall and made of wood. I like the red accents and the symmetry of it. It hasn't found it's home in my home yet, but I'm trying it all over the place.
Here's the rest of what I got at this wonderful store. A T-shirt of course, and some various number tags, some of the black and white metal ones will be in my store soon, if you are interested.

It goes without saying, that if you are ever in Austin, you Must stop by this place.

On another note, I told Chelsea that I'd give her a shout out and show you all some of the great hairstyles that she gave to us older family members. I think Chelsea has a career as a beautician in her future.



We called this the slinkey style


Not much to work with here :)

Didn't she do a great job. Thanks Chelsea.
