Picture Pages

A lot of the images I have posted so far have been borrowed (well, stolen) from other sites. Here is a more personal glimpse into my experience in Austin.

When my parents visited (casually mentioned in the previous blog) we took them to South Congress. Here are pictures my dad took of this crazy-fun street:




(just so you know my beloved uncommon objects isn't a diamond in the rough--there's a chic folk art store right next door)

Pictures of the apartment are below. Keep in mind we have only been here one week.


(the bedroom has a little porch behind those blinds)


(and this amazing 9 foot by 5 foot walk-in closet)


(this couch and this loveseat could be places for YOU to sleep when you stay here)

And finally, our shower curtain. Let it be known that once you go Texas, you never go back.

Day 4 in Austin

I'm here! Each day so far has been a Texas-sized adventure.

Day 1- move in: one couch, one loveseat, one futon, one recliner and approximately 75 boxes brought in by two people (with a little help on the couch from my fabulous parents).

Day 2- South Congress:



This store is amazing. It has 30 plus antique booths full of curios. You know how you go to a flea market and spend two hours looking for that one amazing, original piece? Uncommon Objects has that one piece over and over again.

Day 3- I, swear to God, see someone playing with a lasso in the parking lot of our apartment complex.

Day 4- I applied for a job today. I also found free wireless at a place called Texas French Bread. http://www.texasfrenchbread.com/
