AustinHandmade.com
I am now selling a few items on the Austin Handmade site as well, they just launched in October and represent a “collection of Austin’s finest creative minds from couture to visual art. We offer affordable, well-crafted, unique items all handmade by Austin area artists.
Our products range from limited edition designer toys to one-of-a-kind assemblage art. We also offer custom jewelry, handbags, stationery & clothing.”
Very cute site and nice folks, and I really enjoyed meeting the other artists and seeing their wares in person (the Thingamagoops are really cool).
