An Uncommon White Wednesday

I always look forward to Kathleen's White Wednesday posts and deciding what I'll feature is so exciting and sometimes can be a bit challenging.  For today's post I'll take you to Uncommon Objects in Austin.  There's always so many white things in this shop that the ideas never run out.  I first want to thank Steve for always allowing me to take pictures.  I know that they are really particular about this and I so understand. 

The first thing that caught my eye was naturally his booth.  Steve has the most unique eye for finding the best things, but then when he displays them it's always just great.  Now, I hope the first booth that I'm going to show you is his but if it's not his booth, please tell me:


I absolutely loved all the white painted violins.  What a statement!

Here's more of the store:

Each of his vendors has their own unique eye for displaying and finding great things.

I always love Janette's booth:

I really liked this garden table and chairs:

Don't you love them?

Well here I guess they have no choice, unless you buy them and take them home of course.

I liked this entire display:

Another great group of things:


While we were in Austin, we also went to the City Wide Garage Sale.  I always seem drawn to Linda Parker's booth.  She has such a great eye for finding such unique things and she has a booth in Uncommon Objects as well.  I hope you enjoy seeing her displays:

We did manage to find several things on this buying trip, which I'll try and post a picture of soon.  We also really enjoyed eating at Guero's on Saturday.  No matter what time of day you want to eat here it's always packed.  Be sure and check out Kathleen's blog for other White Wednesday participants.  Happy Wednesday to you all.
