The world is simply terrible right now. If you'd like a five minute break, join me on a little field trip to one of Austin's best antique stores, Uncommon Objects.
You're always going to find pretty old books arranged with like colors.
Busty.
This bowl is absolutely gorgeous, but I kept going back to double check the price tag,
and it kept being $750. So I guess it's staying at the store.
Here's the military/cowboy/folk band/taxidermy crossover that I never knew I needed.
The narwhal section of cream colored breakables.
Y'all remember that movie Dead Again? With the scissors? I remembered it today.
Cute little chickens without a care in the world.
Except the devil watching over them.
Maybe the prettiest vintage globe I've ever seen.
Small trinkets in a grid. Always pleasing to the eye.
If you'd twisted my arm and said I had to buy something, I might have picked this guy.
Give me alllll the walllll arrrrrrtttt.
This corner had a dozen things I wanted, but let's zoom in on that fabulous painting, eh?...
Signed "Burgess '69" and priced at $495. Alas, not for me today.
The wildlife section.
Holy moly, the cuteness of these penguin bowling pins!
I've saved the best for last. Or the worst for last, I guess...
Object-embedded resin clocks, colloquially known as vomit clocks.
Because of their, well, vomity appearance.
Popular as a DIY kit (I think?) in the 50s, 60s, and 70s.
Thanks for doing your part to Keep Austin Weird, UO!
